spin king 1,923 Posted October 17, 2022 Happy, but not surprised by the result. We not a bad side away from home this season. So far this season in the League, League Cup and Play Offs, away from this season we have this record. Belle Vue; won 1 lost 3 Ipswich: won 1 lost 1 Kings Lynn won 3 lost 0 Peterborough; won 1 drawn 1 (lost on golden Heat) Wolves; won 2 lost 2 Only Wolves have won at Sheffield this season, so we looks like barring any disasters looks like the silverware is coming to us. Also looks like the 3 best teams in the league will be picking up the silverware this season. Belle Vue; League Champions Sheffield; League Cup winners Ipswich; Pairs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 354 Posted October 17, 2022 What a pile of pooh We are 2 heat leaders short of a decent side. Not sure what was up with Klindt tonight, never looked like scoring. Picko is ok when he is on it, but other than early season he has just been chasing shadows. He can be exciting, but needs to gate once in a while. Lawson scored as expected from no 1 position, cos he isn't close to being a no. 1 Worrall just about held his own, but his recent good form seemed to have deserted him. Even Freddie was a bit disappointing after a decent start to meeting. Jorgensen at least showed some fight. Jason Edwards never looked like scoring, seems to be struggling with confidence since returning from injury. We've struggled at no. 7 since Jack was injured. And the track was pretty pants as well. 2023 needs some serious work.... Congratulations to Sheffield, can't see us turning this round with out some sort of divine intervention!

SpeedwayFan91 101 Posted October 17, 2022 Kerr showed that he obviously wasn't trying for Lynn... dog rubbish for us all season and then rides like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Sheffield he has Steady as his Team Manager, who has worked hard with Lewis on his riding, and the one thing Promotion at Sheffield have been please with Lewis is the fact he has took the advice given and acted on it. Not something that the Estate Agent could do at Kings Lynn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted October 18, 2022 Lewis has been quality since he signed for us Always gives 100%. Glad to see it after the nasty injuries he’s had in the past. I think the lad deserves a bit of good luck 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect Alex worked hard with Lewi but I think he had become very stale at Lynn after many years and needed out, he wasn't scoring well either at home or away but has been doing both for Sheffield. All three parties have benefited massively from the changes and as far as I'm aware Lewi holds no grudges, certainly not against Alex or Buster. Can't see him at Lynn again in the future and that's probably best for everyone most importantly him. Edited October 18, 2022 by Bagpuss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tellboy 3,662 Posted October 18, 2022 Glad I decided to have a nice week in the sunshine now looking at that result.May as well book every October as Lynn don't seem to be able to step it up a gear to win anything come crunch time.That seems to be management and riders. Re Kerr,while he seems to have been scoring better I would have expected his average to be 7+ with the average now only being over 10 matches,but he is not.Imo he will never do that 6,6.5 at best for him even in the watered down league.Never has been consistent enough away from home. Oh well shower time ready for another day in the ☀ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted October 18, 2022 With Buster's use of the clay based shale at Kings Lynn and Peterborough you really would of thought it would provide an advantage to those riders of the 2 clubs that ride it regularly but it doesnt seem to be the case even in some cases it works in the reverse .

Yep it's odd, it used to as 2003-09 in the second division Lynn were almost unbeatable at home and used to hit 60 regularly, some visiting riders couldn't even turn the bike (Norbert Magosi springs to mind ) but riders have now become used to it and if you can get out of the start and down the back straight ahead then nice times out of ten you have checked out. Can't see it ever being any different at Lynn and that puts me off ever going regularly again unfortunately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
