PowerfulPierre 88 Posted July 20, 2021 With the averages now placing Dan Thompson firmly into the main part of the team, what amount of shuffling around is the gaffer going to do in the team order? Not sure that "flyin' Ryan" has looked comfortable at number 4; should there be a swap around with heat leaders too? Whatever happens, this should be a cracking meeting if the weather is kind to us!

Shaleshifter 177 Posted July 20, 2021 Coming up to Beaumont Park on Saturday to watch the Pirates take on the Lions Has been a happy hunting ground in the past for Poole but it will be a very different encounter this time and I expect a tough match. The Lions are in tip top form and are strong all the way through from 1-7. Let's hope the thunder storms stay away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told last Friday who Poole are going for but its all down to paperwork, permissions and timing of declarations. Not sure if there will be any announcement tonight as I believe the club have until midnight to submit - and have approved - their revised 1-7 for Friday's (July 23rd) August averages!!!

So where would you slot in Douglas? He’s not exactly struggling. His form will only move in one direction. The partnership with Howard’s is still strong. When Dan moves up he will simply swap with Kennedy and pair up with Hans at No.2. If it ain’t broke………. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 703 Posted July 21, 2021 Personally I would put Dan at 4 and put Douglas as 2 as that gives us a strong rider in heat 8 and also a good pairing of Andersen & Douglas It would also benefit Dan to ride with Kyle who may be able to assist him more while Hans gets fully dialled into the updated Leicester track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t see Dickson exposing him to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted July 21, 2021 Coming up for this one and it should be a decent meeting. Weather is currently looking a bit iffy though. Fingers crossed it stays dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
