bigred 187 Posted August 9, 2017 Absolutely agree - team has been far too top heavy this season. Seems like he has got all the support he needs to me, just hasn't turned up. Greaves has outscored him pretty much every meeting and he's a 2pt average rider......... Absolutely agree - team has been far too top heavy this season. Greaves only scores in heat 2 nearly all his other points are gifted . Seems like he has got all the support he needs to me, just hasn't turned up. Greaves has outscored him pretty much every meeting and he's a 2pt average rider......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 9, 2017 Strange that he scored so well at Rye House but hasn't for Wolves. Suprised Wolves fans haven't yet jumped on some type of conspiracy theory, considering he is a Poole asset. Or perhaps he struggles, like many do, on the Monmore track and with Wolves fans slagging him off on here, perhaps it has hit his confidence. Nobody has 'slagged him off'. He is in essence a number 7 filling in for a number 6. If he can ride Rye House he should be able to ride Monmore. However, that hasn't happened, just the way it goes sometimes. Just like KK not being able to ride, well any track in the UK to be honest. However if gets double figures at Poole everyone will be laughing their socks off................including me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted August 9, 2017 Strange that he scored so well at Rye House but hasn't for Wolves.

Or perhaps he struggles, like many do, on the Monmore track and with Wolves fans slagging him off on here, perhaps it has hit his confidence. And struggles on the Somerset track as well?? Ellis is thick skinned that's for sure. He isn't liked by many of his peers for whatever reason and doesn't seem to care less. Probably best to stop looking for excuses as to why he is performing dreadfully in a wolves jacket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,018 Posted August 9, 2017 How was Charles Wright in heat 15? 4th in the avesges and joint lowest (6th highest) scorer. Rules say top 3 by average or top 3 by score. Anyway, Somerset now 3 points behind Poole in 4th with a meeting in hand. Do we know who the meeting in hand is against? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted August 9, 2017 Hate to stick the knife into a young lad trying to make his way in the sport, especially a young Brit but Perks is out of his depth. It isn't solely his fault, Adams and CVS have had a major brain fart thinking he was better than Starke or Ellis guesting. We'll qualify for the play offs comfortably, but if Riss doesn't make it fully fit it's all over red rover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur54 1,300 Posted August 9, 2017 Arrogant b******t as usual. No wonder Poole fans are hated. Shame as there are some sensible and knowledgeable Poole fans. You're not part of that group though. I am sensible and knowledgeable thank you very much,just stating will be back,as the history books show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted August 9, 2017 All that was ever asked of Greaves prior to the start of the season was to achieve his average and stay upright and scoop up any gift points. He's doing that. If Riss had stayed fit we'd be strolling it. CVS and Adams have screwed it up royally, asking Perks to do something his capabilities, at the moment, are not up to. Normal service, after 2016, has been resumed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted August 9, 2017 With certain Poole fans it's all about refusing point blank to admit their promoter & team manager have got it wrong. You can't defend the indefensible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
