It's a thread that is open to anyone to comment on!

Thank you. Think Poole should pick Swindon in the play offs to make more money,  they won't win, so might as well top up the bank balance with a bigger crowd.

Not bad for a team that you reckoned wouldn’t get anything from the meeting eh FB? ;)

in fairness I did say I thought you would get a point, we still can finish top especially if Swindon lose again, apparently Hans rode well last night and as long as no ill effects from his crash may fancy ending the season on a high and Charles Wright should be back too.

I remember when Gater said he was a Swindon fan and would be at the abbey wating to meet us all! One of the forum nutters for sure.

Maybe on this rare instance you'd had been better off sticking with R/R for Worrall? Haven't looked at averages but you've lost Covatti as a weapon at reserve? What do you think Steve?

It was always a difficult call as we didn’t want to go into the playoffs with r/r. We lost Recently and couldn’t cover. Trouble was no one about to fit the bill. Now Wells has gone completely awol and THJ is struggling to come up to speed. We won’t win it this year so need to make the final as next best thing.

Funny thing is Wells rode well at Somerset the other day and will probably get a double figures at Edinburgh tonight but he is utterly useless for us.

Surely R/R is better than signing a rider who at best was a gamble and putting your free scoring top reserve into the main body?

R/R at 2 means the rides can be taking by Covatti, Wells and Josh.......that has to be better than Covatti at 2 and THJ and Wells.

If Covatti struggles at 2 you dont have a reserve capable of replacing him in a ride

In Pooles recent home matches:

v Kings Lynn.....R/R 7.....reserves 12

v Peterborough.....R/R 5....reserves 10

v Swindon.....R/R 6.....reserves 15

Compare that to last night....Covatti 3......reserves 1

Even away at Wolves with R/R 5 reserves 7

I agree that a full 1-7 is usually better ....but when that 7th rider is not good enough (THJ) and you lose the free scoring number 6 into the main body then i would suggest that the management have got this decision badly badly wrong

THJ will be better in the Play Offs than he was last night I’m sure.

Maybe

But r/r getting 6 and Covatti 8 or more getting 7 rides form reserve is surely better than Covatti getting 6 from number 2 and THJ getting 4 or 5 from maybe 6 rides

I just think that losing r/r and Covatti going to number 2 weakens Poole

Def need to have a no8 on standby if you are using r/r. Wolves got away with it last night cos of Becker's form! 

So we only won because of Becker? -_-

Most of your posts were saying we would get little out of it although you did redeem yourself by saying we might get a point. ;)

He will be what he usually is. Have the odd ok race but largely not that much of an influence. Unless of course you class having a negative influence as a positive. :t:
