You would hope Brady would be in those heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand why Matt has assembled the side,to cut down on costs and that is the right thing to do in this particular climate.Holder and Brady i really like as riders and both have huge potential and being a speedway fan i want both to kick on if they do Poole will be a FORCE.

Gavan 5,049 Posted December 20, 2018 This means then that either Josh or Klindt is the third heat leader...............seems a weak team in comparison to the likes of Swindon and Wolves and on a par with Belle Vue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acef 795 Posted December 20, 2018 It’s a great top 2 and tbh it’s actually not a bad team at all. You know with Poole, they will adjust if required so I’d fully expect them to make the play offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has its weakness and strengths. Your banking on every guy getting at least 5 per meeting. ( I mean that we want 46 points but no one is having a shocker). If Jack and Brady really hit the levels they are expected to then be afraid. ( that’s a big if though). Everyone seems to forgot that Josh is only one year removed from number 1/5 at Somerset. Also Klindt and Josh rode at 8 plus for last part of the season. They can both be 7 point riders In this league. Richie once confirmed needs to step up. Is an 8 point rider in champ which imo should mean your about 6-6.5 in prem at least. Needs to hit that level. NBJ might be signing of the off season on that stupid average. He was a 5.00 rider at least at Rye. And well Covatti could be awesome or average. Goes well at Poole. Advantages of this team= Experience, Strengh in depth, home track should be a fortress, potential for 4/5 guys to put 1 point on average. In the middle= our Reserves could beat Doyle/ lambert 1 minute then lose to NL rider the next. Disadvantages= Lack of true out and out number 1 (on day 1), 13/15 heats.

Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted December 20, 2018 2 hours ago, foreverblue said: I agree but he needs support. Your team is strong enough throughout for the support. If Kurtz can't score double points he'll be good for 6-7 as will Klindt and Grajczonek and Worrall most weeks. Covatti and Jakobsen are good for 10 between them. That alone adds up to 48 points a meeting. To get a win, nobody has to score double figures. Poole have the strength in depth to have meetings rapped up by the worrying heats 13 and 15. Even when Holder and Kurtz comes up against Doyle and Batchelor they will not be 5-1'd, even away. Batchelor is regularly a flop in the bigger races. Poole are solid, no concerns in not making the top 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted December 20, 2018 Grajczonek needs to really deliver this year especially with his Polish team going down the toilet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Josh was at Lodz? It's only Rzeszow who have been refused a licence. Hancock, Morris, Becker etc. Edit - I've just seen he joined them this summer from Lodz.

Skidder1 7,634 Posted December 20, 2018 Josh didn't do the 17/18 Aussie season which probably explains in part why it took him so long to start scoring well for Poole - as well as not doing the Championship because he chose to ride on a Polish licence. This winter he is contesting the Aussie Championships as well as some individual meetings so should at least start our season virtually race fit!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just outrageous I probably said we should drop him during the season, fair play to him he turned it around but why shouldn't fans moan when their riders are not performing.
