Roger Jacobs 554 Posted October 5, 2023 20 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: Everyone knows lamberts average is way higher than his 4 year old one used to get him into the side Lambert's average from 6 matches with KL is 9.60, but only two home matches so not enough to achieve a new Green Sheet (according to the Regulations), which is why he is shown as having an assessed average. Because the BSPL decided Lambert's 2019 average is an Established MA, I wondered why his scores this season haven't been added to his old figures to make a new Rolling Average. It turns out that the Regs say a Rolling Average is calculated on eligible matches from the last two seasons, so it begs another question: If Established MAs can only be based on eligible scores from the last two seasons, how did the BSPL decide that Lambert's 2019 average was an Established MA? They really do make it up as they go along, and definitely when it suits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aries 440 Posted October 5, 2023 26 minutes ago, cowboy cookie returns? said: I thought when I said his team it would be clear I meant Sheffield as the interview was after a Sheffield match in which he was riding for Sheffield. I thought it would be easy to understand what I meant by his team. just to make it 100% clear I wasn’t referring to kings Lynn but to the team Lambert was representing Sheffield. Peeing off the clubs major sponsor I was referring to Guy Nicholls tweet or X post which ever you prefer, where Mr Nicholls made it clear he wasn’t happy with Lamberts interview. Nicholls sponsors both Ipswich & Sheffield & Lambert made the comments while wearing a Nicholls sponsored Sheffield race jacket. Hopefully that’s cleared up any confusion that I might be referring to Kings Lynn regarding an interview after a Ipswich Sheffield meeting. He’s your classical WUM. Be known on this forum for years. Ignore him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted October 5, 2023 Going back to the match really like Danyon Hume as a person and as a rider.Was so frustrated for him he made loads of mistakes cost him money he gave everything was unlucky .Hopefully next year on a low average he will do a good job for somebody. and improve what i like about Danyon is he can gate and he can mix it as well and race to.He could be a slow burner but he has real qualities can race can gate and be brilliant in front of a camera.

At 27, he's definitely a slow burner. Just looks so awkward at Foxhall, and struggles to put together four consistent laps - thankfully he managed it once, against the hopeless Holder.

As for saying the Ipswich riders were brainless and didnt mind ending up on the kart track, that says more about him than it does the Ipswich riders. Lets hope hes made the Ipswich team talk for Hawkins that comment should fire them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think Roger the track has looked inconsistent in recent weeks.And generally at Foxhall he will Danyon always score points and shock more established apponents.For me Hume,Rew, are two who can improve.

You are entitled to dislike him but why do people come out with this kind of garbage? He's been fantastic for us since replacing Laguta including one of the most memorable heat 15's foe many a year at Lynn. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No improvement from Hume this season, after ending 2022 on 4.09 - and he was rubbish in Heat 4 just now, could have moved Etheridge over on Bend 2, but just poodled around.

Roger you know nothing., Etheridge was it Laurie Etheridge you were on about?…….. get real.This year was in a top five Danyon when Rew should have coped all year he was inconsistent and frustrating but won the witches a few matches with vital points and vital points at crucial times.Dunno what planet you are on not easily pleased me thinks.
