Think your own description describes overrated! I remember him being touted as the next big thing for quite a while and his GP showing proved he wasn’t anything like that class to succeed. He is well down the list of decent Swedish riders who have hardly any riders ready to step up to top level status with only Oliver Bernzston seemingly to have emerged in the past 4 seasons (and he isn’t a teenager anymore). THJ has been poor and a reserve status for a while now. He reminds me of a poor mans Chris Harris (GB /Sweden comparison).

Thought he was still a Panthers asset?

Possibly yes. Tho one of the most overrated riders in the modern era.

Tough on KP who has done OK, who can fit him in?

Agree, the ones who are probably likely to score more than their average are scarce indeed.

His last average for KL was 4.64 which says it all. He is a decent reserve at best these days in any league. I’m assuming his average puts him at reserve with Covatti in main body? Perhaps the most predictable signing of the week.

Think it’s usually fair to say where are these riders to make a change? However Iversen and THJ have both proven us all wrong!

Fair enough. Just looks really odd timing tho to lose heavily and then add a top rider within hours.

So were Ippo on an average reducing exercise to get Iversen in tonight? Fair play to them for recognising they wouldn’t win without a change. Iversen makes them massively stronger, but losing strength at number 7. Sarj will be worst number 7 since Aarnio.

Apologies, think we have Peterborough away. Not listed on official site,

We’ve raced Swindon twice home and away.

Just those 2 left, so will be unlikely to make the top 4.

I wasn’t their either so it’s unfair to say whose fault it was. Poole wouldn’t have got a point late on carrying too many underperformers I reckon. Good win for Wolves tho, certainly keeps the pressure on the fast falling Witches and Aces (to a lesser extent).

Were Swindon that good or Ipswich that poor? Either way the Witches are really falling quickly.

Why? Because it was exposed live on TV as a huge embarrassment. We mostly don’t have a clue in the UK how to keep on top of keeping a good racing surface or that clubs are saving money by not doing a good enough job. The NSS is exempt and Wolves used to be one of the best prepared tracks in the country until Doc left. Some tracks have the expertise and huge applause to any club for putting track prep right at the top of their agenda. So yes that includes Poole although having a dangerous track was kinda forced on them.

Try telling that to all the foreign riders who refuse to race here because our track preps are generally poor. Poole is loads better, but it just goes to show how dangerous it was.

Having watched last weeks BT match it’s still wavey and rutty. But less than earlier in the year which goes to show just how poor it was .

That and the continued watering down of the product.

The only dangerous track was Poole that’s now tons better.

It’s funny that because reading social media of fans up and down the country describing racing at many tracks as being a ‘good meeting’ you would think racing at MOST tracks have decent racing. Obviously it’s subjective what 2 people consider a good meeting even of the same meeting. I’ve read some tripe over the years as some Aces fans slating a meeting at Monmore when there was passes galore. Id even go as far to say that MOST fans consider racing at their local track decent. Obviously that’s very debatable if that counts as true for all of course. Hopefully that clarifies my position further.

Haven’t you watched racing from the NSS or Wroclaw before?

All Poole riders have proven they can ride Wolves as well have stinkers. Im sure they will want to stop Wolves from making the top 4 so will be all out for a win. However can see a home win and 49-41 will do lovely.

Must win for the Stars, if so they will be a threat for top 4. Can only see a home win however 50-40

Got to agree. At best a mediocre reserve at the top level. Never been any different.

Massive meeting for both clubs. If the Aces lose that’s there top 4 aspirations as good as over and a win for the Stars could put them right into the thick of the mix. With Fricke back it’s going to be a tough one for the Stars to get anything out of.
