I would say his current average 5.74 is about his level. 2021 Home 6.98 Away 5.25 2022 Home 6.71 Away 5.70 2023 home 6.12 Away 3.36 inc tonight. No false average imho.

Problem is pretty much every rider has been under performing, when you add all that together the team gets beat every week. Big improvement tonight though.

Jakobsen is a "reasonable" top division rider in Poland... KL must have expected so much more from him... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He couldn't of predicted that. I think TJ is stale, same as Kerr, to comfy maybe. Klindt has been bad, but out of the two, i think he can improve the most, if you had to keep one of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry1603 353 Posted June 12, 2023 Thought that it was a decent meeting despite the rain beforehand. Track got better as the meeting progressed and Kings Lynn gave a great account of themselves. They seemed to be full of confidence and Laguta is a wonderful rider. His team ride with Palm Toft in heat 13 was a masterclass. A couple of Belle Vue's team looked a bit out of sorts, but that's no excuse - well done Kings Lynn for a great effort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted June 12, 2023 49 minutes ago, StarBoy said: TBF he did prove that last Thursday. The fact the decision was made to use a T/S when Jakobsen was the other rider, it was never going to materialise into anything positive. People get hung up on the T/S & who they ride with, 5-1's, it's totally irrelevant. The use of the T/S is to be +3, that's it. Bring in a T/S for a rider that's almost guaranteed to score 0, heat 12 was the best choice. We went from a guaranteed 1-5 to a 3-3, the best we could have hoped for was 4-2 so didn't work out to bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,031 Posted June 12, 2023 I liked Jakobsen when he was at Poole in 2018. Shame it hasn't worked out if he has quit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree, it was the same with the "jokers" some seemed to think unless you got an 8-1 it was a failure, but turning a 3-3 into a 6-3 was as valuable as turning a 5-1 into an 8-1!
