Especially as it was the final meeting of the season I'm intrigued to know what was in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therefused 819 Posted September 5, 2023 I would get Rowe snapped up for next year too, no idea what the league system is going to look like but his scores in the past few weeks (along with S. Lambert) have kept the scores tight, its the engine room that's need sorting (and number 1 if Robert isn't staying) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we'll give a good account of ourselves in the league match at Owlerton a place where we've had our backsides handed to us several times Inc our last play off appearance there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted September 5, 2023 Thought Chris Gay had an absolute mare last night, so inconsistent with the starts. Pulling them back and warning Ipswich riders but not when King's Lynn riders jumped the starts. Heat 1 should've been rerun after the carnage in the first bend, how nobody came off after S. Lambert went right across the corner. Witches deserved the win after some bending off the rules by KL. Should've had to go with 1 rider in heat 12 as Bruem pulled out of the meeting with an existing injury, from last week, but allowed IRR. Glad to hear KL will be running next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,662 Posted September 5, 2023 People missing the point with the praise and worship of Buster. The most significant difference from the past 2/3 years is this back end of the season he's HAD TO SPEND MONEY. Hopefully he's learnt a valuable lesson, you can't run a team on the cheap without consequence. He should know now, King's Lynn in 2024 MUST HAVE A GENUINE No1 & No5 to stand a chance. Some will say Simon Lambert & Anders Rowe must also be included, but they both could be on 5 averages next season making them 2nd strings. Could you really trust them as a No2 & No4?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My post sticking up for Buster was referring to this season. He's far from perfect i might add. As you know he went from having virtually nothing to do with both clubs, virtually retired, to having both clubs promotion dumped on him, with short notice. With the stick he has been getting he could of walked.. I do know more than some on this one. As for the 2nd part of your post. I agree, this season has shown you can't keep finishing bottom, the fans will walk eventually. At Lynn you have to be challenging, and winning most of your home meetings for the fans to attend in better numbers. If you can't afford to do it in the Prem, the Championship it has to be(if both run next season). I also agree regarding our 2 reserves. As good as they have been in the last few meetings, you can't have them in the 1-5 in the Prem imho. Edited September 5, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not if the league was in its current format, but I think I would take them at 2 & 6, not the biggest Simon Lambert fan by any means but he has proven he deserves it, has a lot of support at Lynn and history at the club, Rowe could potentially be one of the best reserves in the league.

Sadly sticking by riders who are not up to which is in isolation when other teams have gone for bust in bringing riders to get to the finals may have bitten the witches on the rear. It would be good for speedway if the likes of Doyle and Sayfutdinov are in the play offs but who knows. Maybe as guests if Ipswich cannot carry it off tonight. Sayfutdinov and Doyle have the two highest averages in the Prem by a distance, so neither can be used as guests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pubichair 160 Posted September 5, 2023 Rowe klindt and Robert should definately be back! Hopefully Robert will want a full season back at the club! Mpt if his average drops below a 5 I’d take a punt on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
