Spiderman1 182 Posted September 6, 2018 Somerset track only comming good now, tactic ? Yep as ALL thier riders like the fast outside to inside lines,expect a big score to come from reserves again which makes it easier on the top order. This will be a close match as certain Poole riders love this too,who ever limits the last places will win this ,Somerset in box seat ,as long as covatti has sorted his game,pressure is on Poole for sure✊ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted September 7, 2018 A very hard match to call i think Somerset will win by 10/12 points.Just think Somerset look more solid they will look for Allen and Summers to score big that could sway it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somerset finished higher up the table, I would have thought the pressure was on them to make the final. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pressure is on Poole ....built a superstar team we was all told and were the hottest favourites for years. Poor management maybe but Poole have used 13 riders to scrape into the play offs. Going out at the semi finals will be seen as a massive failure and surely the time has come for Middlo to step aside..............easy to manage a side with superstars but clearly lacking when he doesnt have those superstar riders, maybe a problem with motivation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pressure will be on the favourites, which is Somerset and possibly KL cos they finished top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is simply a Poole hater and it’s pointless having a discussion with someone like that. Much better to ignore his diatribes. If we lose against Somerset, he will post we have choked. If we win, it will be because of some luck, poor ref decision or a Somerset had an off night. Don’t ever expect him to actually praise Poole on a win. He will respond with some utter guff about me or Poole as usual. He always does. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping Poole can pull it off this year, the changes show intent and desire in my book ... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry but before a wheel was turned we had to endure page after page of Shovlar and one or two others banging on and on about how good the Poole 1-7 was. Hot favourites and have messed it up big time. We heard how amazing Poole were to beat Somerset recently and we were even told Somerset were stronger with 3 riders missing lol, also you have said on another thread that Belle Vue are covering Bewley!!! Your comments and constant trolling have been picked upon by many many posters on many threads its quite boring now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hate lol The problem is Poole has its fair share of strange fans who either troll or are to blinkered to see anything different. I had loads of stuff at the start of the season because i said Pooles 1-7 looked risky..........Shovlar and 1 or 2 of his little buddies told me i was anti Poole and talking rubbish. Well i was 100% spot on so i love seeing this amazing side have to use half the riders in the elite league to only just make the play offs. Lets hope we get a Somerset v whoever final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder his wife walked. Could anyone seriously imagine having to be sharing a life with someone with so much anger and hatred? Needs anger management therapy. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can you call anyone else strange when 'apparently' you spend 90% of your time on Poole threads, but not because you are genuinely interested but because you like trolling and putting out negative posts. But you don't spend time on Ipswich ones, I am going by other Poole fans on this as I never go on the Championship threads. 2. The last two sentences are you admitting you are an anti or hater or whatever term you want to use. So thanks for finally admitting it. Well done. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
