The current August GSA's give Brady as 7.05 and Bomber as 7.00, so there could be a chance that come 23rd of this month the September averages could see Bomber at 1 - which would be better for the team imo.  

Also aside from Frederik's 0,0,0, last night, he will complete his 4 home/4 away meeting average at next Monday's Somerset away meeting and there is every chance that he will be in the 1-5 from the following Monday ie the Bank Holiday Monday.  Who will take his place at reserve is anyone's guess at the moment, but should still give us a very strong reserve pairing?!

I am a bit worried about Brady's form, Chris Harris has come in and been fantastic but Brady needs to up his game massively or we will not win the title, you can't carry your number one, it is quite surprising his place doesn't seem to be under pressure.

Josh or Nicolai to reserve for the playoffs? Can’t be bad.

Have a quick look at the rider stats on the Poole website which have been updated to incl Mondays match.

These seemed to be fully up to date and show the rolling av which the SGB site also uses for calculations. The good news is that Brady is on 7.31 so still below that magical 8. Last night's poor score helped. Fortunately BP don't count on GSA and our lads sure have raked up a fair few. Frederik in his 8 meetings has 10 BP already but fortunately they don't count in GSA and he is on 5.52 so should stay in reserve with Woryna who is on 6.05. Josh is next lowest at 6.29 even after last nights heroics. Harris sitting on 6.91 so all good news for forward thinking team building.

Still early doors but with some tough away matches in those last 6 qualifiers (as play offs don't count on GSA's) at Swindon - Somerset and KL it may well keep the riders around the same levels on GSA going into the last GSA calculation after the 24 match regular season. Could well be team points limit is the bigger challenge rather than a one over 8 heatleader. Of course the league structure for 2019 will be very important.

I thinks Brady has really suffered from taking on the 3 leagues in POL/SWE/UK as he was not used to flying in and out constantly. Even his POL forays previously were only for a few meetings. Where Lambert really has  thrived this season by taking on so many Brady has gone the other way on too many occasions.

Of course this season is important but from a future GSA perspective the Poole team only have another 6 matches (3 away) to get there GSA's finalised for 2019. As it stands most of (if not all) the team are on attractive GSA's and if we are going towards one League in 2019 (maybe with some regionalisation) then these lowish GSA's could be so important for inclusion into the Poole team for 2019.

After the 24 match regular season ends the riders can fill their boots with as many points as possible in the play offs ;)

Yes Steve that is good, I even think Freddie will be ok, he can be forgiven last night on a track that was tricky early on and a lack of grip later in the meeting, Kurtz is the problem, ridiculously low score for a rider of his ability.

If Kurtz is retained for 2019, he cant start at 1 again

Nice to see Brady back to form, if only all our riders could perform to their best on the same night we could win the league so hopefully that will happen at play off time. To think not long ago we were bottom.

Think Brady should have only taken on Poland and this country.. personally.

If there is one league next season I think Peterborough would use Harris as he is there asset
