szkocjasid Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 3 minutes ago, tellboy said: I said that to a friend about 15 minutes ago.It is unusual for Rob not to be on the ball.He usually uses the tactical as soon as he can.I also would have used Klindt RR in ht 14 to partner Kvech.This would have only given 3 rides to Harrison who by all accounts done well though. Still I would have took a 4pt loss before the meeting, but a bit frustrated too that we didn't take anything from it. If it's just a case of keeping competitive & having an ok season, it's a good result. But if they had any belief they were still chasing a top 4 spot, then it's points they couldn't afford to miss out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Never in doubt…. Save for that bit where we were losing by 4 with 3 to go… Hats off to both Chris Holder and Klindt who both team rode masterfully to shepherd junior colleagues round. Don’t often see team riding like that anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Poor from half of the Stars riders once again, certain riders only come to the party every so often and it’s not good enough!! Massive chance missed tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 KL almost got the job done but the lack of a No.1/No.5 was costly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which heat for Harrison's 3rd ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 You can look at tacticals, riding order etc etc. For me, I'm looking at Iversen. 5 points from his last 2 meetings. What's happening there?? 2 points from someone of his experience is abysmal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB1 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 My I ask a statistical question, apart from 3 draws at Owlerton I believe in 2005, 1979 and 1971. Have Lynn ever pulled off a win at Sheffield. I'm sure they had but couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have left him in 4 just to get his rides out early doors.So that would have left Kvech in ht 6.At the end of the day he should have only got 3 rides once we had the chance of a ts imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klindt has been very inconsistent but I actually think Niels is the biggest problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And neither of them have had the benefit of a spell at reserve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rob must have been thinking we will be 6 or more down by ht14 that's all I can think of why he went this way about things. The problem with waiting to use a tac sub in heat 14 is that's an unnecessary risk. If they're not 6 down, Harrison gets a 4th ride & Harris doesn't get an extra race. If they used the tac sub earlier / didn't use Klindt in heat 3, they'd have more options available, if they really wanted to, could give Harrison a 4th ride & replaced Iversen with Kvech in heat 13. There would've been no harm in Harris replacing Kvech in a ride, Kvech can still come out in any heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKI has probably been our most consistent rider tbh.It is really only his last two matches where he has gone off a bit.Only 2 last places up until the last 2 matches,now he has a further 5.

I don’t think it will be too long before NKI or Nicolai (1 of the 2) is let go though tbh. When the transfer window opens abroad at the end of June I’m sure Lynn will see what riders are kicking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I really don't know what people expect from Niels, he is 42 and arguably riding at a position on the team he shouldn't be. Like everyone else he's a six pointer for a reason. As for team changes, I'd agree we may need to be ruthless at some point, and despite what Mr Grumpy from P'boro has piped up with I think Lambert would be asked if he fitted and wanted to come. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
