Stars v Foxes 15/6/26

[tellboy]

Dug that one out from somewhere.

We always looked stronger in heats 13 and 15 the way Fricke and Kvech were going.Even more so giving Kvech had 2 races with only him in it for Lynn.

Hopefully Jody isn't too bad and we see him on Thursday at Ipswich.

Poor from Lynn again 

Thing is you look at that scorecard and only Bomber can you criticise for his score, the other four did what you'd expect/want really. Tough job when you go down to five riders early on, just have to take the win and move on to the next one.

Found another interest. Can’t be doing with sporadic meetings.

I've never understood the argument that fans will find something else to do when there's big gaps between meetings & not return? By that logic fans wouldn't come back after the winter break, having found something else to do!

Thought Northampton could have got a draw if Chris Adam’s was on the bail. Should have replaced batch from his last ride and put Harrison in instead as it was a three rider race thus allowing Thomson to replace Harrison in heat 14.

What’s wrong with Michele?

From Edinburgh website:

'Monarchs Captain Paco Castagna faces a period on the sidelines as he looks to fully recover from a hand injury.

Paco has been riding through the pain since his crash against Redcar back in April and following scans has now been diagnosed with thumb ligament damage.

Paco will undergo treatment in a bid to return as quickly as possible. Heal up fast Paco.'

I'd heard it had to be removed from his jacksie 😉

Excepting Luke Harrison, because he's young and it was his birthday, you can't carry two riders and expect to win away. It's either Lidsey or Klindt that's off the boil, but always Batchelor. I'd much rather see a young rider fail to deliver. Or an experienced SGP rider from Australia but, you know, there's a hierarchy at play.

That's Fox's big problem three riders who at different times won't fancy it so the odds are every match you are going to have one or two of them getting 0-3 when which makes it incredibly difficult to get a result. At the end of the day we know they were left with the absolute scraps, but Kye Thompson has been outstanding and Iverson despite his years always puts a shift in so at least they aren't getting battered every week.

Northampton really aren’t far off. They need to make ONE change in particular, two changes if they can’t get anyone worthwhile for Batchelor’s average. 
 

I really don’t think there’s an awful lot between Northampton, Lynn and Ipswich. Or Leicester come to that!

Would you say he's living off his father's name? Not sure what his background is? Has he been on the spanners in the past? Proves once you're in, you're in. Somehow he picked up the managers job at Birmingham, led them to consecutive disastrous bottom place finishes and now looks to be doing the same with Northamptoningham now he's a "team manager" 🤔
