While other teams have lost one or two, Pirates have lost over half their team. No one can cover that. To argue otherwise shows the poster as a pea brained imbecile. We need to sign a 28 day replacement for Brady and a full time replacement for Richie. Covatti will be back in a few weeks and NBJ needs an appendix removal by the sound of it so will be out for a few weeks. No point dilly dallying, get a deal done. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted July 8, 2019 All teams have to deal with injuries, illness, loss of form, riding elsewhere. It’s the mark of a good team how well their promotion/team manager deals with it. Lynn were decimated in last year’s Play off final, but still made a decent fist of it. No towel thrown in their before the event. No wooooo is me like we are hearing from the usual suspects on here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but he would want to make a point so to speak! And surely better than Kyle Newman who hasn't ridden the track recently and is not going particularly well at the moment.

With no decent guests available (Ford must have gone through is book looking for horses for courses) we are where we are. Four riders out in unprecedented for any club, let alone the Champions. Just need to bring in two new riders sooner rather than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easier said than done with availability and averages (not to say finances as well) not in Poole's favour!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted July 8, 2019 If Poole think they are serious contenders for the title they should see off Kings Lynn as easily as Poole did last week. Really there is no excuse for Poole to not come away with the points tonight. Riders like Jack Holder should relish conditions similar to Polish tracks. And while Kerr and Jorgensen are so poor at the moment, experienced riders like Klindt and Josh should clean up. However, recent form shows that Holder is on the downward slope after a good start to the season. Has the bubble burst there or a minor hiccup? Kings Lynn need to up their game considerably from 7 days ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we are stuck with waiting for riders to return and using guests apart from Richie who does need replacing, I don't think the riders are available or we can't afford them. I would advocate Wells as a temporary replacement for NBJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickH114 17 Posted July 8, 2019 With only Peterborough not riding tonight in the Premiership i would of thought Proctor would of been a good choice of guest, Tungate only scored one point when he last rode there for Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
