Looks like Kvech at reserve next month then.
-
There probably isn't a rising star that would make a difference to the scoring.But what I want to see is commitment from a rider and to never give up like Boughen has on numerous occasions,that's the difference.What I have seen of Harrison,Scott they don't give up no matter what the position they are in a race.That's what I want to see for my money,effort!!,not the opposite.
-
How many times have you seen Boughen this season?The guy needs to take a break from the sport or someone needs a serious word with.His backing off is so visible to everyone,also the giving up to me is also a massive downer to many fans,at least keep trying for 4 laps.Tonight he caused Pickering a big problem when he basically stopped in front of him.
-
Another meeting and more errors and throwing away points.Surprised ht 15 wasn't pulled back. How Boughen still has his place is beyond me.He backs off so visibly to everyone that's there.Let's put in a Young Star and give them some experience,because in my opinion Boughen won't get anywhere while he is in a mindset where he backs off so much when near anyone.
-
Similarly at Leicester a several years ago,when Lynn were there.There was a shower not long before the meeting which got it called off.Not because of the rain but because the track was over watered before the meeting even with the forecast of a heavy shower.
-
Needed Gilkes when he was available.What I have seen of Boughen so far is,he is quick if he is on a track with fresh air between him and other riders,will back off if anyone is within a yard or two of him.But what gets me the most is the amount of times he just gives up this must annoy most of the fans.
-
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.

Bloody hell,you sound like Robbie Savage 😂

Ipswich v Birmingham 24th April

King's Lynn,gaters?Their gating has been pretty awful in every match so far this season. -
We do have a bit more to play with average wise next month,that's if the averages were correct on the Lynn website.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
