  1. Cooper does look a talent,have watched him race for a few years.Eligible for a rising star berth next year.Hopefully he will become a star of the sport in years to come.Thought Jody Scott looked impressive too.
  2. Wright had done too many rides for Oxford to use the IRR facility.
  3. Personally I would have used Janowski in any race that he wasn't in.He could have replaced anyone as they were all pretty poor imo,especially Tungate.
  4. Simon Lambert guests tomorrow for,Rob Lyon.That lad loves Lynn👍
  5. Bloody hell,you sound like Robbie Savage 😂
  6. King's Lynn,gaters?Their gating has been pretty awful in every match so far this season.
  7. Happy that the management checked my post on here and got Brennan in early😁
  8. I would hope he looks for a proper replacement come May 1st when we should have over 7pts to play with to replace Cook.I think it is around 7.3 left in May.But for the last April fixture I would use Brennan if available.
  9. New averages don't come into force until the 1st of each month.So Brennan would be able to guest on Monday,but not a few days later.
  10. You would like to think Lynn have booked Brennan early for this one.
  11. We do have a bit more to play with average wise next month,that's if the averages were correct on the Lynn website.
  12. Leaving a team of 6 pt men is what they are anyway.You won't all of a sudden think you deserve someone who rides as an 8 pointer.So it should be near enough like for like with a 6 pointer.With the likes of Doyle etc,if they are out you have a limited number that could fill his role,and not many of those top riders do many guest bookings nowadays.And who could fill his boots around Foxhall anyway.
  13. I wouldn't make a double change for sure.You have a good point that we will have that little more to play with come May.It all depends on the length of time Cook is out for I suppose.
  14. Do Lynn look at signing a replacement for Cook while he is out.If you make the change before the end of the month at least you can use his higher average before it goes down next month.Is there anyone willing to come.I see the recovery time varies on the broken bones he sustained from 6-12 weeks.Although speedway riders do like to get back earlier.If there was a decent replacement out there I would go for that until Cook was fit to return I think.
  15. I hope you are correct,that would mean another month of Bomber at reserve.I thought with rolling averages though that they do change,only ones with assessed averages,new to the league or those that have been absent for so long have to do six matches first to get a new average.Hope i am wrong.
  16. If you put Cook at reserve though and you genuinely can't get anyone to guest you are definitely stuffed.At least if he is in the 1-5 you have R/R as last resort.We obviously want an adequate guest if one is available though.So if guests are available you can get the one you want regardless whether Cook is reserve or in the 1-5. Hopefully Brennan will fill the void against Oxford,after that though the pickings will be slimmer once Cook's average does go down.
  17. Definitely better having Klindt down at reserve imo.If you couldn't get a decent guest for Cook at reserve you are stuffed.At least if Cook is in the 1-5 and you couldn't get a decent guest you could run R/R.Not ideal but at least you could use Klindt and one above Cook in the averages.
  18. Someone needs to have a word with him.This is speedway and there is always going to be close or very close contact.Undoubtedly he can be fast,but he needs to be a couple of yards in front to get points.He spooked himself tonight when he nearly binned it (ht2) and basically stopped.Then when Lawson went by he was spooked again.I hope he can sort this side of him out because there is potential there for all to see.
  19. Cook would be the first to go if I was in charge.In fact I wouldn't have had him in my team to start.Always thought he would be a weak link due to his inflated average from riding at Belle Vue.It will be even more of a problem if he went to reserve.If he doesn't gate whenever I have seen him he never seems to change his line to make an overtake,that is frustrating. As per rules,by the looks of it now you can make changes up until you have completed 75% of the your fixtures,after that you can't.
  20. You are obviously not up with the rules.Even the ones that have been there years😅
  21. Thought you couldn't make changes until 25% of your league matches are complete,accept for long term injury.Maybe wrong,i will leave that to someone who can be bothered to read up on the rule book.
  22. But does the person have balls,only it can answer that.
  23. Do you have evidence Harris wanted Boughen with him?
  24. I agree,just wish the powers that be would come out and say it though,rather than have us believe it is the way they have written it.
