Skidder1 7,617 Posted August 26, 2018 Non-speedway illnesses mean a mandatory 7 day absence. The press release states that Lawson (and Allen and BWD) will miss Monday's and Wednesday's meetings!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted August 26, 2018 NBJ and Aarnio over a point lower combined Championship averages than BWD and Allen, coupled with that their relative unfamiliarity with the Poole circuit this season and it’s difficult to see how Somerset are anything other than weaker at reserve. Lawson should be well covered though by the look of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for greebo missing, he rarely does much at Poole so Somerset could yet again benefit. Edit Skidder just beat me to it. The track is getting one hell of a watering today. Might need the track staff in when it stops to pump all the water off and give it a chance to dry overnight. Not so sure. Don't know how many times the 2 guests have ridden Poole this season. Last time the Rebels where there BWD scored 5, Allen 2+1 and Lawson 8. The time before... BWD 5 (riding at 3) Allen 6 and Lawson 7. Not earth shattering I agree, but I can't see Somerset being stronger with 3 riders out. Edited August 26, 2018 by Bald Bloke 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 7 rides for Holder? Summers and Covatti also get a ride. Surely better than Lawson. The form of the two reserve guests in the championship show plenty of double figures. Both Jakobsen and Woryna need to be on it from heat two. With all the rain today I expect the track to be heavy and deeper than usual. Get there early. Big crowd expected and car park will be fully very early as will the grandstand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other 2 rides he "might" get, he could of got them anyway, even if Somerset had a full team. Lawson 8 from 4 last visit. .So lets say , Holder 2, Covatti 1, Summers 1 and 1 other.?... That seems fair.. Last visit Summers scored 2 and Covatti 5.. Holder 9 from 6 rides. I can't see any benefit using RR for Lawson myself. Poole win for me, but the track could play a part.

So Holder is likely to have 7 rides tomorrow if Somerset find themselves 6 down. Alternatively one of Lawsons r/r rides can be used by Doyle as a t/r, so any way you look t it Somerset are better off without greebo. Holder, Doyle, Covatti and Summers.

If Somerset are, in the unlikely case, 6 points down then surely Gazza would look to cover a R/R ride with JD rather than Jack? Not sure if you have found Jake's CL scores for Scunny but he has plenty of double figure scores there! NBJ is currently a CL reserve too!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somerset might not go 6 down ! . You could just as easy say Kurtz will get 6 rides... HT 15 and a TR ride? He might not get HT15 and Poole might not go 6 down would be your answer..? For me Holder has 5 programmed rides tomorrow. One is Lawsons. Whether he has a TR ride or HT15 is irrelevant to whether Lawson is riding or not.Or am I going mad ? So unless Somerset go 6 down, you have Holder, Covatti, Summers, a reserve taking Lawsons rides. So Holder 2, Covatti 1, Summers 1, reserve 1. That's 5,maybe 6, if you like.... Lawson would at least score that(8 from 4 last time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
