He averaged 4.40 for Ipswich as recent as 2019 and was chopped for Edward Kennett. Granted the track at Foxhall didn’t suit him and he’ll find Sheffield much more to his liking, but he was still pretty dreadful pretty much everywhere. On some of the bigger tracks where you’d expect him to do well, he scored 4 from 4 at Peterborough, 2 at Kings Lynn and shockingly a big fat zero at his former track at Swindon! He did score a decent 10 at Belle Vue though. Edited January 1, 2023 by Arch Stanton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one will ever know the answer to that, but to say we only won because we got Lambert on a short term contract is very short sighted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
