My top 6 to make the semi & or final as anything can happen in the one off races at the end
Scott Nicholls
Simon Stead
Robert Lambert
Chris Harris
Craig Cook
Steve Worrall
Rather a bitter post wouldn't you say?
Lewis chose Ipswich (rightly so) because the PL Is where the bar and buyer is paid. We messed him about by changing racenight when he'd already agreed the deals. Our fault, not Kerr's
Lambert had his agreement already in place with Peterborough when he originally agreed to sign for us due to losing Kerr. Due to the fact he'd miss to many Peterborough fixtures due to clashes (his bread and butter) it was advised it's best not.
Lambert right now would be a great addition compared to anyone else out there
Absolutely, go as far as say it's a sensational effort.
What could they of done with their strongest riders though?
Maybe we just underestimated the strength of our youth programme?
As has been suggested on a different thread, is it now time to drop Wilkinson for Simon Lambert.
With Wilkinson's average dropping as fast as s#!+ from a seagull I think we need to react, and quick
Wilkinson 3.60
Lambert 3.11
If Lambert's average goes past Wilkinson's the option will not become available. Thoughts?
Absolutely the best option, for now.
Wilko 3.60
Lambo 3.11
So, are we at the point where Simon has to replace Wilkinson now and run guests when he's unavailable?
Personally, I think we are
Is on the list but can't get a PL side. Would be worse IMO.
If we make a change in reserve I believe one of the Young Stars are the better option as they have home track experience.
Do you take my point? I do take yours but your missing rider's away stats show you were strengthened yes?
Even on the combined averages for 2016, your 3 missing rider's, rounded up come to 18 points
Ok, maths time
Away averages
Thorsell 5.67
Bech 4.00
Howarth 5.33
=15.00
Guests
R/R 5
Bridger 7 (RR scores removed)
Kerr 8 (RR scores removed)
=20
So a +5 over your missing riders = improvement does it not. Certainly wouldn't have seen Bech outscore Bridger and Howarth outscore Kerr. Thorsell would have bettered 5 but not sure he'd of got 11 to have outscored tonight's lineup.
Wolverhampton WERE strengthened tonight
