Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 21, 2017 If Poole make the play offs with that team they will get hammered. No s5it Sherlock! But surely we would rather make the playoffs than not? A failure of a season but still made the playoffs. Shows how high the bar is at Wimborne Road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,095 Posted August 21, 2017 If Poole make the play offs with that team they will get hammered. The Swindon team has been on a massive roll, but I don't see it lasting. Wolves & Belle Vue have had their blip, and should be over it now. I see Swindon's roll lasting I don't any way Wolves or Belle Vue can beat Swindon on current form and barring injuries.

Skidder1 7,636 Posted August 21, 2017 With Timo dropping to reserve from 23/08 you never know it may provide the extra lift to see us on a bit of a roll for the play-offs??! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,095 Posted August 21, 2017 It may help having Lahti at reserve but we still have crap team! Can't Kennett refuse to ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Its not crap just very poor by Pooles standards. You would have been taken off to the funny farm if you had said at the start of the season that KK, Newman and Klindt would be replaced by Kennett, Lahti and Starke. Poole have been fortunate that Kings Lynn imploded or i reckon they would have got 4th. Poole could still hold on to 4th in my opinion but cant see them beating any of the top 3 over 2 legs.

For once I agree with this entire post. Poole have really messed things up and I am sure Matt is feeling it in his pocket. I can not see this happening next year as I am sure he will be building a very strong team. This for three reasons. One that Matt will want the crowds to increase to there previous levels. Two that it is an attractive team that will encourage big sponsor back. Three that if he did wish to sell he would want to sell at the top of the game and make it very attractive for any prospective buyers.

We have no chance unless we have a slice of luck like riders from the opposition refusing to ride! We would have more chance if we could have replaced KK with someone of equal ability but we got Kennett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought when you said an attractive team you were meaning a quality side but as it's going to attract sponcers maybe you meant young and good looking.😂 Edited August 21, 2017 by Aces51 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
