Not sure Hans would go along with that idea! I mean if it was said about 2010 then you would kind of have a point. But 2012? Clutching at straws with that one! I am basically saying that Poole choked which is the comment I was replying to. I’m not really bothered you don’t agree and it looks like you have offered up another year where Poole choked!

It’s a shame we are not competitive tonight as it’s on tv but we have had some rotten luck with injuries. Strange choices of guests in my opinion, Kasper Andersen rode yesterday for Redcar surely a better choice than Kyle Newman and Summers only got one point last time he rode there!

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted July 8, 2019 This should be a comfortable home win but we aren’t very good this season (although decent at home) and as we know gating is vital at Lynn nowadays so if Poole’s guests can make a few starts they could go home with something. Their engine room are both riding as well as anyone in the UK right now and Holder likes Lynn so they could make it uncomfortable for the Stars with some sharp starts. We have vulnerabilities in our line up but whatever happens three points are a must. Would take 46-44 and some good racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether you think its choking or not our record in the playoffs is pretty good most would say. Sometimes bad luck or injuries happen like last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kasper was sacked mainly due to his inability to score point at home over two seasons so he wouldn’t have been a good choice IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted July 8, 2019 I think the Poole fans on here are failing to factor in ‘The Middlo Impact’. I have heard Pirates fans describe him as the best Manager in The League. Have to believe this guy will motivate his team into a performance, if as suggested he really is the Messiah, or is he just a very naughty boy ? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even Middlo. Where are we going to get Brady’s points from? He rides Saddlebow very well. With all due respect Summers and Newman are not likely to trouble the home team. Wells is clearly fighting to be noticed for a team place and he should score a few, though doesn’t have anywhere near the scoring potential of Covatti. We have 4 out of our 7 missing. Easy points for Lynn tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted July 8, 2019 Poole are the only team in the league with injuries bless them Lynn have had to cope without Riss Wolves had no Thorsell and Morris Swindon have had to cope without Musielek and Zach quitting Peterborough with Hans and BWD And us at Ipswich lost a top scoring reserve in Allen..........His replacements have managed only 11 in the 5 meetings he was missing and we picked up points in all of them...we also lost KP to The way some Poole fans bemoan injuries is a joke.......in the last few meetings the Poole guests and R/R have made Poole stronger but only the blinkered cant see that In this meeting Poole are certainly weaker no doubt about it But at Ipswich our team spirit got us points when we lost a rider for 5 meetings and against all odds we did well..............either Middlo is a good manager or he isnt........
