IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 7, 2023 That is what all the talk was about when you re-declared with 2 in as Pickering is/was 5.92 & Thomson 4.45 & was not a 1 for 1 injury replacement. So to bring Pickering back would take you over the 39 point threshold so Pickering would be likely to come back 1 for 1 for either TJ or Klindt who are above his CMA at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say, it would put us 1.04 over at the moment, if we swapped back. But we are home to BV and Leicester, and away at BV and Wolves this month, so plenty of time for our team averages to drop. On the other hand Kye could go wel,. and as you say it'll TJ or Klindt that might be looking over their shoulder. If Picko does come back in i hope they wait until is fully fit, because he didn't start the season to well, he only averaged 4.36 in the 3 meetings before his injury.

If team averages drop then that would mean riders averages have dropped but some may improve (Laguta & Thomson after 3H 3A) but others (TJ & Klindt) at risk so could be a difficult balancing act. I think you need to see Pickering back at Edinburgh first to guage any other change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedball 566 Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Shame Sheffield are riding at home otherwise I’d have tried to get their whole team to guest in place of our lot Think I’ve seen Sheffield win at the AFA more times in the past two seasons than Lynn Edited June 7, 2023 by Speedball 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Picko came to us on 7.38. And Lewis left us on 4.50 (7.11 this season).So who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted June 7, 2023 Just now, StarBoy said: Sheffield was cup so doesn't count towards averages... Yep fair enough but Bald Bloke was referring to the three meetings he rode in before his injury as an idea of his form, I make it 5.24/6.19 from those three without/with bonuses.

Understood. Either way he certainly wasn't performing to what his average was when he came in. However, I will say that the league is stronger than when he was at Sheffield in 2021.

Andrew 125 Posted June 7, 2023 To be fair,Josh scored heavily against Kings Lynn home and away in 2021 and that rather boosted his average,so much so that the Tigers couldn't for him in for 2022! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
