Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 19, 2018 We just scrapped by Rye last week but Wolves are a stronger outfit. Hopefully the last time we run this side as Holder will hopefully be in the redeclared lineup. The track last week bore the brunt of heavy rain from mid morning until mid afternoon. Fingers crossed it’s a dry day. It’s going to be close imo with 4 points either way. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted May 19, 2018 Wolves average away score from their 2 league and one cup meeting is 38-52. So far this year they are poor travellers. You really are in trouble if you can't win with ease but of course there may be other reasons for keeping it close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray c 2,299 Posted May 19, 2018 More comfortable win here than against rye house I think hopefully Brady will be back to his best .the rest of the team should back him up and we will be ok imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking more of the lack of consistency and poor form  but I am expecting a stronger performance now they have the benefit of Stefan Nielsen to advise on set ups and lead from the front. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted May 19, 2018 I'm expecting a very tough meeting for the Pirates. Expect the track to be different - again!! - Its been different for every single home meeting so far! Thorsell finally sussed out the track last year and with Schlein, Masters and Howarth all liking the Wimborne Road circuit, I can see a narrow win for the Wolves unless ALL 7 Pirates have finally found their set-ups and gating gloves! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted May 19, 2018 Should be the easiest match we will have all season. Wolves have a couple of problems as well. Heeps - Out of form Greaves - Out of his depth Poole to win by 10-12 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant see how you can say Masters likes it, 5,6,8,6 in his last 4 visits. Howarth coming back from injury but Schlien is in great form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rye House had 3 track specialists last week and although Rory is flying cant really say Wolves have any. Heeps , Greaves and Morris will do well to trouble the scorers. Thorssell is hit and miss, Howarth coming back from injury and Masters doesnt go well there. Wolves have a 4 man team.............Pooles reserves should outscore their counterparts fairly comfortably. I think Poole will win this by at least 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 20, 2018 Wolves had 2 away league meetings and taken a point from 1 so far and embarrassed in a Cup meeting. Rory seems in great form everywhere and Morris is proving a trump card at reserve. Jacob has done a decent job at number 1 away in those league matches. Form and fitness for the rest is a worry.

Beowulf 1,513 Posted May 20, 2018 Easy home win :- 1 We are not riding that well away 2 Poole is not a good track for us. Unlike jokers like Shovlar, I can be realistic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted May 21, 2018 Probably, Freddie is not missed at Monmore but away, he is a massive loss . Though Rory's going great everywhere, the rest need to step up a bit . Even if Thorsell and Masters score well, I still believe they will come up short and go home empty handed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
