Not sure why they wouldn’t be in the case of a new signing.

Shouldn’t come as any surprise.

It’s the inconsistency which does your head in. We’ve lost twice at home to Poole yet beaten them away. Got a draw at P’boro when other more fancied sides have lost. Taken four points from the league leaders after a first night hiding. Performed well at Wolves before falling away at the end and doing the opposite at Belle Vue. There’s a half decent side in there trying to get out but with each defeat it feels we are less and less likely to see it. Would be daft to drop Kerr now he’s dropped to reserve but Proctor and Andersen could have no complaints if they were culled. There must be a couple of second division riders who fit and would do a better job, riders like Pickering, Jensen, Stewart, Douglas, Mountain ie even unfancied names like Wethers, Mountain or Ayres could do no worse in the right position.

Would have been ok if he carried on from last year but has been nowhere near it, neither has he (or Andersen) for Sheffield. This team ain’t strong enough to carry anybody.

Completely unacceptable to collapse like that away let alone at home. The only saving grace is that it wasn’t a league match. Massive blow if Riss is injured. Proctor and Andersen must be on borrowed time.

Presumably Heeps was eligible?

All the best to Lewi Kerr and his family, his little girl is in hospital according to his Twitter.

Camera angles are awful.

Is there anything riding on this or is it a dead rubber?

Robert will come good, there is very little doubt about that. Last nights performance and the riders he beat shows that. It’s just a matter of time. However at the moment he is misfiring and below him we have three second strings and three reserves. We need at least one rider from those two groups to step things up along with Robert getting back to his best if we are to have a chance of top four.

I think I counted four posts on both Facebook and Twitter throughout the day from the club as well as several updates during the meeting so not to sure where you are coming from. As for the team, it’s not been a great start to the league campaign but we've not had a home match yet. Three points from four away matches is not disastrous but needs improving on. So far nobody has stepped up to second heat leader and the number one has been inconsistent. An all round improvement is needed to be in with a chance of the Play Offs but still early days. Presumably Lewis drops to reserve soon so I’d have Proctor at two, the Danes at three and four with Riss at five. See if that improves the balance a bit.

No excuses here, just support for a rider who is giving his all but not getting the rewards. Rather than accusations of a lack of application or effort. It’s what proper supporters do. Better tonight for him, although no surprise on a track where you can remedy poor hating.

Consistently inconsistent.

Well we only lost the last eleven heats by two points..........you can’t start a meeting like that and expect to earn anything. Unless this team can develop some consistency it’s going to be a very short season.

The Abbs family derby Prediction 48-42

As per usual you are spouting tripe. Robert Lambert is having a tough time in all leagues at the moment and needs our support, not people like you accusing him of a lack of application. The lad is riding his backside off for little reward at the moment, it’s happened to every sportsman who ever lived at one time or another.

Obviously got the old electrical fault idea from Lynn ten years go, think it was the floodlights then.

The counter argument would be that promoters refuse to pay over the odds in order to keep their tracks open. Well probably never know the truth but the bottom line is that riding for Glasgow and nowhere else isn’t doing him any good.

I expect he will drop the UK one day as speedway over here is only going one way. But I don’t see what good poor scores over here in slow bikes would do him, success breeds success. If he was scoring big in Sweden and Poland I’d agree with you perhaps but he ain’t....no doubt he’ll get it together soon. Going to be a massive learning curve on Saturday night especially if he carries on with the sluggish starts.

Not you, Mr Webb. It was forum bingo with him fawning over Rory and criticising Robert. People who were there have said it was a tough track to pass on so it’s not rocket science why their scores were so different and it’s nothing to do with effort or commitment. I can’t believe a young rider with the world at his feet with so much to race for and achieve this season would scrimp on kit anywhere. Too easy to blame machinery, he’s not quite on it yet especially his gating and his scores reflect that. If it were his bikes it’s more likely to be a change to try and go faster which isn’t working.

Absolute joke.

So Belle Vue ‘screwed him over with money’ and Buster ‘screwed him over’ with the sponsorship thing. As the common denominator perhaps the rider himself is the issue.

Mate I think you know by now that you need to take contributions from these two posters with a pinch of salt. I’m still laughing at the idea that those who score well give 100% and those who score poorly don’t if only speedway was that simple.

Wolves is a tough place to go and they have a good side this year so 39 points isn’t the end of the world but when your bottom three score that well it’s disappointing not to come away with something. Lambert not making consistent starts in any league this year at the moment compared to last year hence his scores, needs to get it sorted ASAP. Hope the team can bounce back on Thursday.

Never thought for a moment that Lasse wouldn’t ride if he could....however strong R/R might be you never want to go into a meeting with six riders, only takes one crash and you can be down to five or even four fit men in the blink of an eye.
