Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted August 16, 2017 Well, looks like we might not even get the league point I predicted/was hoping for. Thank God Mark Riss is back after today. Ellis you would be quicker on a.........🚴🚴🚴 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perton Wolf 396 Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Worthy of a mention also is Nathan Greaves, has come on leaps and bounds as our 2pt average no7, especially away from home. 4 points tonight is an excellent effort. Ellis you would be quicker on a.........🚴🚴🚴He's been abysmal unfortunately, appreciate his effort but Greaves has consistently outscored him.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 16, 2017 Finally got back to winning ways but made life extremely difficult for us when we were in control. A stupid disqualification when Wolves were on a t/r gifted them two extra points and in heat 13 with Poole on a 5-1, Andersens bike packs up. Second time in two weeks. Meaning what should have been a last heat decider. Only for Thorsell to completely miss the gate, tried to come charging through off bend four and knocked Kennett flying. Luckily Kennett stayed on but with Thorsell out of control the ref banged on the red light and booted Thorsells sorry arse out of the race. Suprised it was such a good crowd considering last weeks efforts. Shows Poole fanbase is still strong. For Poole: Brady much better than last week. Holder much improved. Lahti hot and cold. Just doesn't seem a Poole type rider to be honest. Kennett trying but slow bikes. Andersen tried but the EF could have been fatal. Starke battled and Shanes was solid. A far better all round efford from the team. We are not strong enough to challenge this year but at least showed some fighting spirit and pride. For Wolves: Lindgren started poorly but improved. Howarth got better as the meeting went on but had a monster roller in his last. Schlein battled. Thorsell had possibly his best meeting at Poole but cost his team dearly. Both reserves were dreadful to be honest. Greaves managed to hold on to a second place as Shanes had a howler of a start and by the time he had got past Perks he couldn't quite catch Greaves. Sorry Wolves fans even with Masters and Riss back I am struggling to see this team winning it this year. I had them down as favourites but have serious doubts right now. Just have to wait and see.

New Science 1,059 Posted August 16, 2017 Well done boys. All of our riders getting at least a paid win each. Thats more like it. Against a team with the currently the 2 weakest reserves in the league and r/r for one of their top 5. Looking good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 16, 2017 I don't think we are favourites though, surely Swindon must be? We haven't been good enough away this season at all unfortunately. Wolves as underdogs? Where have I seen that before ? 😀 Get Riss and Masters back and see how we go. Although for me I have say that Swindon are clear favourites. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,087 Posted August 16, 2017 Kennett for Kasprzak is looking like a right dodgy decision, may well cost the Pirates big time... Hindsight is wonderful but Jonasson would have been better judging by his form lately and it surely isn't difficult to work out Jonasson is better than Kennett. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted August 16, 2017 Great point for the boys, only the play off counts when hopefully Masters and Riss are back to lead our play off hopes. Riss looked great tonight at Birmingham practising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry Wolves fans even with Masters and Riss back I am struggling to see this team winning it this year. I had them down as favourites but have serious doubts right now. Just have to wait and see. So who do you think are favourites? Assuming both Swindon & Belle Vue finish above Wolves, whichever of those teams will choose whichever team finishes fourth. Surely? If Wolves are at full strength I would take them over two legs over whichever team they come up against with the possible exception of Rye House. But I don't see Rye House making the playoffs.
