Najjer 2,890 Posted May 4, 2018 1 hour ago, dontforgetthefueltapsbruv said: The hasty reuntroduction of rolling averages to include 2017 meetings mustve been for a reason Perhaps there was some caught wind of who was planned to be released when Holder could return and it was decided to make it more difficult..... I'm going to assume it's because of the bad weather, teams wouldn't be getting new averages for ages. Somerset have still only ridden 1 home match in the league and haven't got another home meeting for 2 weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalterPlinge 657 Posted May 4, 2018 So Poole have sacked James Shanes and brought in Stefan Nielsen What a crazy move. The sign of a desperate struggling team I guess. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted May 4, 2018 Cant believe Poole have got rid of Shanes. Build a top heavy team and then expect a 2 pointer to get 5 or 6 a meeting because the top end isnt performing. Ford says its for a month then Shanes might come back in................if i was Shanes i would tell him to stick it where the sun doesnt shine and concentrate on Sheffield 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fourentee 987 Posted May 4, 2018 I can see the thinking, as a short-term move that may bring a few more points from that reserve slot. Then it will be a matter of working out the permutations once the averages have kicked in, at which point Shanes might well be back. Of course, missing those top-flight matches will hardly help him in the interim while being dropped is not exactly a confidence booster either. And, as alluded to elsewhere, it's a bit harsh when a top-heavy team fails (so far) to perform and it's the two-pointer whose neck feels the axe. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What he probably means is Nielsen might do better until he can juggle things around, then if all they can fit in after the team re build is Shanes, he will be asked back... I'd say probably not. So I take it Holder's "problems"in the UK might run for another month yet ? I can see it all coming together at once for Poole, like magic Edited May 4, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although of course, if you drop a rider they can't be broughht back in the same season.... unless we're ignoring that rule. The rule of course is there for this very reason, to stop a team dropping a rider, waiting a month for the averages to change and then fiddling him back in. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted May 4, 2018 Not too surprised Poole have made a poor start to the season and James Shanes is the obvious target. James is improving rapidly with every meeting at Sheffield, and winning and scoring more points will build his confidence after he has got over the disappointment of been dropped his confidence will grow. He is not the first to be dropped like this and he won't be the last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
