Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Monday sees the return of speedway on BT Sports with a near top of the table clash between BV and what will be a very patched up Pirates team, after the loss of Richie and Nico. I guess we will go with r/r for Richie and bring in a guest for Covatti. Meaning two guest reserve riders so not ideal. Nico’s scoring potential will certainly be missed. BV are solid at home but we did get a draw up there this season. Could be harder to come away with anything this time around though, as Richie’s rides can only be covered by Josh and the two guest reserves.

Worrall only got 3 last time so r/r for him won’t be to much of an issue Covatti got 6 last time and NBJ only 1 Get the right reserves in (horses for courses) and Poole will be stronger Poole should be able to find the 10 points scored by Worrall , Covatti and NBJ not that hard to replace A draw last time..... Poole now stronger.... away win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Becker got 7 last time at Belle Vue and rode well there in the SON If Poole were to use Etheridge he goes well at the NSS Can see Becker and Etheridge getting the 7 points between them that Covatti and NBJ did As long as R/R gets 3 or more Poole look good here Edited June 28, 2019 by Gavan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted June 28, 2019 Every team riding but wolves so surely becker will be 1 guest. Depends on the other. Etheridge is a good shout but I'd guess it will be starke if fits 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etheridge is a good shout but I'd guess it will be starke if fits Bit of a no brainer to have Becker I would think , may have already been booked to cover NBJ. Starke hasn't ridden well lately but last night holding off Berge was vital so he was definitely up for it but I think Etheridge is a better bet at the NSS.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 28, 2019 We are riding well at the moment and have the best away record in the league. As long as we start like we did against Wolves we have a chance of at least a point. The right guests need to be picked for reserve though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NBJ on the other hand wasn't going well so anything over 2 would be an improvement on his likely score.If Becker scores 7-8 then that is comparable to what I would expect from Covatti..

Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 28, 2019 Etheridge and Becker were certainly being considered last night with Wolves the only Premiership team NOT in action. Not sure about Etheridge (av 5.65 for Berwick) as he was dropped by BV last season, but the choice is limited so his NSS experience might prove vital.
