Josh , 2 and 3 on his last 2 visits Shanes , 0, 1 and 3 Kurtz 4 Holder 8 Woryna 4, 4 So unless the Poole boys have dramatically improved then i cant see Poole getting close to Wolves. Think Matt Ford has agreed to this simply because he wants his boys to have a few meetings under their belt so they may have more chance of getting something See above post. Just banter. All in good spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Poole are the overwhelming favourites everyone will be laughing when you get your first defeat and the excuses start coming out. Oh we will laugh. I'm sure you won't take seriously either.

Had he not had them he would be attaining around a 7.50 average by now. 1 hour ago, foreverblue said: I agree his injuries have had a detrimental affect on his career but I doubt he could have reached anything like 7.50 . You are right no way he would be anywhere near 7.50 a good honest rider but he has never been a in/out PL no 1 stroke high averaged no 2.He has not even reached a British Final he has been unlucky with injuries and for me there should always be places for the likes of Kyle who knows he might still improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, you are forgetting, injuries take there toll, and like many horses that get bad, legs, holes in tendons, and are off the course for 18 mths 2 years in some cases they are never the same. We saw him every week, and take it from me, he would have been attaining that average had he not had umpteen problems and nearly died through sepsis.

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted March 19, 2018 Can see the current Swindon lineup losing a few at home this season. Certainly not strong enough to be in with amserious shout of retaining. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted March 19, 2018 Wolves won’t be any serious threat this season so no point worrying how we will do there. They will be just making up the numbers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fully agree. If Newman was ever going to achieve anything like that level in the top flight he would be dominating in the 2nd tier by now. In fact the last season's he has dropped year on year in the 2nd division. 6.84 (2015), 6.31 (2016), 6.10 (2017). A good reserve , and pretty poor second string in the top flight. That's pretty much his level. No doubt he had ambitions much higher than that and injuries have halted process but not to the level of top flight heat leader. 3 minutes ago, Matt Ford Fan said: But we will be laughing at the end of the season when our club has a trophy to hold up and the forum goes into meltdown x2 over Woryna and Szczepaniak.
