Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Whatever Alex does, it's a headache. You have Picko, it's his mate, but is it one of them injuries (Palm Toft)? that takes some figuring out. MPT isn't doing great, but probably home and away is better the TJ overall.. Edited May 25, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted May 25, 2023 Mountain fits perfectly when using rolling averages on the KL website. Laguta 8.00 MPT 6.85 Klindt 6.64 Jakobsen 6.39 TJ 6.24 / Picko 5.92 Edwards (RS) Leaves 4.88 or 5.20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is his mate though, and i think they will keep him and use RR and let TJ go, if it fits. Edited May 25, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This team doesn't have the capability to carry & wait for rider's to get fit or find form. The league is just to short for that. There has to be a minimum of 3 changes, for me Kasprzak, Jorgensen & Pickering out. Laguta, R.Worrall (if released) & A.Nother. 1. Laguta 8.00 2. Worrall 6.25 3. Klindt 6.64 4. Jakobsen 6.39 5. Palm-Toft 6.85 6. 4.87 roughly 7. Edwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnboy 254 Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) I would do a major overhaul and get rid of klindt, jorgensen, toft and KK none of them have impressed me I would keep Pickering as when fit he is a heat leader. And if allowed swap edwards for Andres Rowe of allowed, as he use to fly around lynn when with Somerset Edited May 26, 2023 by lynnboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rowe has stagnated imo,yes he had a couple of decent meetings at Lynn a while ago now,but hasn't got going like several thought he would do.But things do have to change Tofty has been going steady of late imo.

I have followed Rowes scores this year for Poole and he is doing a great job at no2. I personally don’t think Edwards rides KingsLynn that well he seems to do better away than at KingsLynn. I think a fully fit Pickering is a heat leader which he was providing last year till he got injured. toft was supposed to be a heat leader at KingsLynn but has looked far from it in my book, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimmo 1,070 Posted May 26, 2023 My personal opinion is that Jason Edwards deserves to retain his place, as he is developing into a good rider. I'd also keep KK purely for the big scores he's likely to score in home matches. I know he doesn't score well away, but winning at home with a decent result, gives us the chance of the bonus points. Of course we want to win away matches, but how many clubs do that on a regular basis anyway? If Laguta is coming in, and all the signs do now suggest that he will, I'd like to see local rider Connor Mountain in the side. He's been so unlucky not to find a Premiership place this year, as he was doing well last season. Who from the rest of the team would I release, if the figures all worked. Klindt would have to be one, Tofty maybe, and for me, although I recognise that many of you think differently, I'd get rid of Josh. I like the guy, but for me, when fit, he's not consistent enough. One thing I do know, is that I'm glad I'm not a promoter/team manager, as it must be heartbreaking having to break up a team they had so much belief in a couple of months ago. Whoever leaves, I wish them well for the future, and hope they get fixed up with another club ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted May 26, 2023 If Pickering goes to fifth in the averages then he needs replacing even iffir just 28 days as R/R won't cover him at all. Mountain and Laguta for KK and Jorgensen would be good changes. I get the argument about winning at home not away but it would be nice to at least be competitive on the road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted May 26, 2023 Doesn't seem right to be able to drop and replace 2 riders and retain the r/r facility when 1 of those being dropped would fit in that last slot.......
