Crazy robin 2,971 Posted July 15, 2015 Just chucking a rider in but what would someone like Artem Laguta come in on? At least 7.50 if there is any sense & how many riders would he wipe out that would need replacing?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorchester Pirate 0 Posted July 15, 2015 which riders would be available on 6.50 average? Kyle Howarth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,125 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) which riders would be available on 6.50 average? Buckowski and could get Pawlicki for North. I know some don't rate Bucko but i do and he rode well in the world cup. He is 12th in the Polish rankings. Edited July 16, 2015 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoFastTurnLeft 74 Posted July 16, 2015 Gomolski was brought in for a very low average. In most meetings he does his job. We can't have 7 heat leaders! If someone put a gun to my head and demanded we replace a rider then yes, it would be Gomolski, but I'm really struggling to think of who else we could bring in without losing anyone else. I'd like THJ, but we'd have to lose more than just Kacper to make that happen. I genuinely believe that all things considered we still have one of the best 7 man lineups in the league. Coventry seem to be the team to beat this year and we've done that more than once with this exact lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going by your logic then I would say Holder has been you most underperforming rider,whereas Gomolski has overperformed but I get the feeling the Poole fans would rather see Gomolski gone Edited July 16, 2015 by tellboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holder was under performing but is better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Sadly loyalty does not win you league titles! Matt got caught in 2010 with Artur and wished afterwards changes were made, if the right rider becomes available and makes a team stronger then changes will be made.

chris4gillian 1,832 Posted July 17, 2015 It's all very well saying changes may need to be made, however nobody is suggesting alternative riders who are better than we already have. There's no point in changing things for changes sake and unsettling a very obvious happy bunch of riders. The current 1-7 has got us to the top end of the EL and we're still one of the favourites to lift the trophy come Sept/Oct so I don't see what the issue is. I agree in an ideal world Gomolski would be scoring 7 or 8+ per meeting, however at the current stage of his career he's just not capable of doing so but he IS doing what was expected of him at the start of the season. So give the guy some slack. We've already beaten Coventry quite convincingly this season (the team you're all saying is stronger than us) so what's with the panic stations?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If riders continue to under perform then changes will be made as there are alternatives who would improve the team although i am aware that certain riders have improved lately but North started the season well, seems to be trying very hard but for some reason he isn't in the form he was. Personally i would leave it for now and see if they can improve and i wouldn't read anything into monday's meeting either, i would just put that down to a bad day which happens sometimes, most of them underperformed against Swindon.

Skidder1 7,663 Posted July 17, 2015 I wish all the people clamouring for changes would simply say which riders should be replaced and name the new riders and their averages!! Doing the sums with the team average to get them back under 34 points is a mathematical nightmare in itself when you change 2 or more riders at once. Currently Poole are 33.76 so not much leeway to play with. Incidentally, with THJ back riding in both Swedish leagues, Polish league and GPs - would he really want a UK place and wouldn't he be reassessed at 8 points anyway??

SCB 15 Posted July 17, 2015 Incidentally, with THJ back riding in both Swedish leagues, Polish league and GPs - would he really want a UK place and wouldn't he be reassessed at 8 points anyway?? He has an average, no need to re-assess him but lets be honest, he's NEVER done in the UK what he does abroad and wouldn't be that great a signing. In theory he should be but he just never is.
