Just like Nick had Brady in his pocket on Brady’s home track then Steve or you forgot that?. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We faced a reserve pairing of Zach Wajtknecht and Mitchell Davey yet we still lost by double figures. Did you actually go?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally don't care anymore the whole club is surrounded by negativity. It's a mess 1 change doesn't solve the issue we need 3 changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder where you live ?? I was and then tonight Sundstrom got even worse. Woryna got even worse. Kildemand got even worse. Grajczonek was rubbish on a track he has a lot of experience on. Linus's confidence is shot and it's not going to change over a week or two. Our next meeting is Rye away. Our two Poles will hate the place. We are virtually out of the cup. The whole team apart from Brady is inconsistent. Nielsen came in for Shanes and it now looks like he might be facing a spell on the side lines. We aren't going to do anything. Wolves will not choke because they are solid around Monmore. BV are dialled in around the NSS and they have 2 riders who are having a breakthrough season. Swindon are too solid around Blunsdon and they also pick up points on the road. KL are riding well. We are not going to make up 10 points it's a fact. Even if we do by some miracle then we would end up going to Wolves knowing full well 66% of the team can't ride the place for toffee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted May 8, 2018 Well it's official - SS was absolutely correct and Poole do have the strongest team in the league - propping everyone else up from eighth place in the league! Surely their averages a low enough now to ring the changes? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,779 Posted May 8, 2018 There is no way that this Poole team is as bad as their results so far, they either aren't putting in 100% or its all a carefully planned averages fiddle. Criminal either way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted May 8, 2018 This was my first visit this year. I expected to see the biggest crowd of the season - Poole, Bank Holiday and nice weather. And it was a good crowd. When we arrived I was a bit horrified to see the crowd for the turnstiles snaking right along the stadium wall and round to the back straight. I thought we'd be ages getting in, but, fortunately, they were all queing for one turnstile. The other one had about 10 people waiting! British and queueing, eh? I enjoyed the match. As others have said, for the first two-thirds I don't think there was a single pass, but the scores kept it close and the crowd seemed happy enough with what they were watching. The racing improved dramatically in the last few races - possibly after the riders reportedly told them to stop watering it? It did get more dusty though. Someone said to me before hand that Adam Ellis has a new engine that is extremely fast and to watch out for him. That was an understatement. He shot out from the start in both his first two rides, and was miles ahead. It's like he was so fast that he couldn't keep up with himself! And then came off both times. He was then unbeaten for the rest of the night. Sensational from Adam. I was hoping he'd have been out in heat 15, just because I wanted to watch him again. Apparently there are only two of these engines being used at the moment. I never thought to ask who is using the other one. Robert Lambert maybe? Just a guess though. Poole were okay. The doom and gloom from Dorset is bound to happen, as results aren't going their way, but this is a decent team. I can still see them in the play-offs come the end of the year. Shanes for Nielsen? Not sure how well that will go, but at least Mitchell Davey was able to get a point! Great race from Zach to pass Sundstom in heat 14 - a race that won him man of the match. Personally I'd have gone with Ellis, who looked like a World beater tonight once he got to grips with the speed of the bike! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted May 8, 2018 Maybe Ford needs to look at the manager who is obviously struggling to motivate his riders. Neil Middleditch the speedway equivalent of Arsenal Wenger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
