szkocjasid Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 19 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: Looking at the numbers Mitch fits with ease. As it stands; 1 more home & 2 away, it looks like Rushen will move to No2. 2H 2A & Scott (when fit) would also move to No6. Castagna/McDiarmid would be at No7. McDiarmid is definitely the best option out there for the 1/7 greensheets but is that to late for change?? If King's Lynn want to make changes, they'll need to be where Rushen & Scott remain reserves & currently, to do that is replacing Cook, Castagna & Scott & declaring Rushen as RS, the risk there is the replacements could be even worse. I can't see that happening, plus, the team starts to look in a lot of trouble if the reserves start making the main body of the team already, it's way to soon for them. It highlights there's something seriously wrong. King's Lynn look like they're in a rock n' a hard place right now. Either, accept our youngsters in the main body or a team rebuild, can't see the latter. On paper, this team should be strong but something just isn't happening. Gating? Speed? Team bonding? The rising star has to ride at 7 unless he's in the top 5, Scott can't race at 6. Ideally you'd want Rushen & Scott to remain at reserve, but the way Rushen is scoring, he'd always end up in the top 5 even if Castagna was doing his job. With such improvement at reserve, it's a surprise the team isn't doing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 league meetings in ( 2 for Paco, Scott), but it's looking like nothing seems to work for Lynn, with or without a genuine No.1. It's a good job our 2 young guns are doing so well. Fricke - 1.65 Kvech - 1.06 Paco - 4.13 Cook - 1.72 Harris + 1.16 Coops + 2.75 Scott 4.50 as RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Not a great many options to replace Castagna, maybe give MPT a 28 day contract, see if he can impress? If he doesn't bring Paco back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
