You don't average 1.692 in the Ekstraliga by not being one of the world's best... He finished higher than riders such as Bartosz Smektala, Jaimon Lidsey, Vaclav Milik, Kacper Woryna, Chris Holder, Pawel Przedpelski. Not bad. Sitting JUST behind Andzejs Lebedevs and Piotr Pawlicki... Edited November 22, 2023 by Diamonds85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,794 Posted November 22, 2023 I think there could be a bit of improvement in Tarasenko and Wojdylo assuming they both sign and get on well with the AFA. If the MPT rumour is true then he would appear to be the best version of Plan B that they could come up with once Bomber backed out. That would have been a pretty good side but IF its MPT instead to go with the other rumoured five plus Basso then it looks one good signing short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musielak 8.69 MPT 5.13 NKI 6.64 Basso 6.25 Tarasenko 6.94 Jenkins or Rowe (RS) Leaves 6.35 so it has to be Wright, Brennan or Schlein for the final place imo. If that ends up being the top 5 . Wright is the rider they have to sign, out of those 3. Edited November 22, 2023 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Diamonds fan it pains me to agree... But I do. 1. Tobias Musielak 2. Charles Wright 3. Niels Kristian Iversen 4. Benjamin Basso 5. Vadim Tarasenko 6. Michael Palm Toft 7. RS Good looking team imo. Not title contenders, but good nonetheless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can see Brennan at either Ipswich (Was the rumour) or Birmingham who he's made a guest appearance for many times in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather Wojdylo over Toft tbh , but Tofty should be able to put something on his 5.13, if he is, and can stay fit. We desperately needed a re fresh after recent years, and I think a play off place is a must this time around. After the last few seasons, It's important to keep fans happy. Starting by winning your home meetings. Edited November 22, 2023 by Bald Bloke 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manifesto 45 Posted November 22, 2023 I think it’s a team that will be strong at home once seasons kicked in. I think Basso will kick on this year and end up riding at no5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't surprise me to see both MPT and Paddy in there. Given Buster brought him over for a spell last season, and MPT can't be dear. Money is an object at Lynn,, with Buster at the helm.

I wouldn't be happy if that was the case, No reason to go 1.35 under the limit especially now that Buster has extra funds to use on one club instead of two.

Or might just be that other options on a six and a bit average have gone elsewhere for more per point. Buster has always worked to a budget, he doesn't have a sponsor with deep pockets like three or four other teams in the league. That's just the reality and consequently it makes being competitive very difficult. I expect MPT is the best of what's left for the last spot if he has signed, regardless of the limit. Just the way it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon is in the form of his life and always gives 100% for the team. He has been part of the Stars set up on and off for many years and is at least one rider who looks like he wants to ride for the team. I would have thought his contributions at the end of this season would have had him nailed on as a dead cert for a team place in 2024, but in typical Kings Lynn fashion, success is rewarded by being dropped and no doubt we will see the same old failures being rewarded with a team place? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't disagree but the trouble is I'm not sure his average has an awful lot of value in it. His effort and commitment last season was without question but is he realistically going to keep that level of scoring up? We'll have to see who else is named instead, if for example it's Wojdylo & MPT you are looking at a Polish rider who showed a lot of potential last year and a Scunny team mate who average a point more than Simon despite a nasty injury. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 355 Posted November 22, 2023 Has Robert Lambert ruled himself out of full time return? Not sure if he is still on his low average or got a new one at end of season.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
