For an ipswich fan to go on how you do is embarrasing, when was the last time Ipswich won a major trophy? Its a shame you dont spend as much time on Ipswich threads rather than Pooles . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should understand that underperforming second strings get replaced by in form reserves, that’s the way it works. He can make sure he’s not replaced in future by doing much better and scoring more points! We seem to have a good team spirit this year from the outside looking in, would be a shame if there’s one bad apple in there throwing a strop every time he gets replaced. IF there is any truth in it, maybe Baldy's suggestion isn’t a bad one, early season or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to Bellego he had scored 4+1 after three rides, the same as Rory and the match was pretty much won. I would have thought the lad needed races at Foxhall tbh. Seems that Hawkins golfing buddies are getting preferential treatment, not sure that's good for team spirit... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't make sure on the Swindon meeting,,,, big fat zero Personally I only see his average going one way,, and that's down,, so in my mind it's stupid to wait for that to happen. I am one that believes in being pro active if you want success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point and it’s difficult to disagree with your last point in particular. Thats why every man and his dog knew that both King and Heeps were certain starters in whatever division we found ourselves in. As it’s turned out retaining Heeps was a good call (so far), but he was a lucky boy to be given another chance Edited April 24, 2019 by Arch Stanton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawson showed last Thursday he can beat good riders at Foxhall but he’s got to up his game away from home. i thought it was hard on bellego him losing his ride at home Thursday - hadn’t done much wrong and we’d effectively won the match. He needs to improve away from home also as does king. He never should’ve been in ht15 at Swindon Jake should. impressed with Krystian so far seems to be learning fast and not afraid to mix it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the flaky Pole Woryna who put a few points on his average? Did you predict Poole would win the league when they were riding poor early doors and you were taking the mick out of them? Thought not. Guess they had the last laugh ey! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
