Peterborough need a number 6 who can make the step up, because the rest of the team is awful Cross that bridge when you come to it. So you are basically making Ben the scapegoat cos top 5 is no good. Not really his problem. How about sign a new top 5 and keep the reserves? 51 minutes ago, Aries said: And that makes perfect sense. Unfortunately Lisa is overprotective at anything said in a negative way about one of her precious boys. When it is unfair yes i will go on and on and on! lol Ben Cooks has been doing his job. If the Danes don't do theirs why does he have to take the fall for it? Edited May 19, 2023 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree with you Lisa.Make their top 5 stronger and this will keep Cook at 6.He is doing his bit,get rid of any of the Danes as they aren't doing their jobs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont give me the line that the Council HAVE to provide a site for the Panthers.........even if they did who would stump up north of 1/4 million to build a new track and a stadium ???? Dragons Den would all be "OUT" Have a read of the Local Plan. It's not the Council that has to provide a new stadium, it's the prospective developer - and that's why people are waiting to see what the developer proposes.

Are you referring to the Fours? Didn't he release Jack Holder to race in Poland for a fee? I'm kinda impressed tbh, these days Poland would just take the rider & GB has chosen to give up their priority on certain race nights. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterborough need a number 6 who can make the step up, because the rest of the team is awful The problem we have is our heat leaders are not winning races, that’s where we are missing out, generally guests and RR are just not cutting it and Iversen isn’t performing anywhere near what was expected. That heaps pressure on the middle and bottom order who are struggling to fill the gaps, Basso, Cook and Jenkins are fine they are still learning, it’s Worrall and Andersen who need to step up their performances but at the moment both are generally struggling. After 7 defeats the team’s confidence has deteriorated and the desire just doesn’t appear to be there with several of the more experienced riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s doing exactly what it says on the tin with him. He’s been a 5-6 point rider for many years now, what were you expecting? At this stage of his career he’s not going to suddenly blossom in to a 7 point rider. There’s little surprise either with Andersen or Iversen. People said they were on decent averages, they never were. They’re washed up has beens whose averages were only ever heading in one direction! You’ve cut Basso some slack there because of his age which is fair enough, but if one rider so far has been a big disappointment it’s definitely him. He’s been awful. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,652 Posted May 20, 2023 In the Premiership Ritchie Worrall is currently averaging over six. His best season since 2017, yet he's still getting flack. If anyone is entitled to be disappointed by his current form it's Plymouth fans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
