Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 18, 2019 Harris guesting swings it Lynns way completely. But it’s fair enough. Swindon got the luck this time around with Proctor. Be interesting to see if they do chose us or Ipswich. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted September 18, 2019 Shovy who would prefer to face in the Semi ? Which, if either, gives you the best chance of reaching the final ? The way it looks from the outside is that both Wolves and Swindon would take you to the cleaners over two legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palm Toft at home v Poole has scored 9+1(4)....and 12+1(7) Harris at Lynn has had 1 good meeting 14+1 (5).........in the others he has scored 4(4) and 3(3).......... How do you deduce your information......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poole 2020 thread will just get started. Normally DC has started it by now! Maybe he's not feeling well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you deduce your information......... Do guest appearances count in the calculation of GSA. ??. If it doesn't then it could be anyone's guess which Chris will turn up Thursday. Ironic if it is the first type of score rather than the latter one's ;-) Of course if they did then Chris will be very well aware his current GSA sits at a VERY attractive 6.16 on the last sheets and that makes his an attractive draw for any team building for 2020. Remember his starting 2019 was 7.59 which was the only reason Ford could not accommodate him for 2019. Had it been 6.19 I think he would have snapped him up. A number of Poole supporters and Ford himself I believe always said he planned well in advance for his team for the following season. Could it be that discussions may even have taken place with Harris re a possible team slot on that attractive 6.16 GSA ?? Based on also the fact that play offs do not count in GSA calculation. Much as Chris is a VERY up and down rider, he rides Poole well and I think his GSA would go up if he rejoined them in 2020. His better home form would drag up his GSA imo.

Seen none of that yet. Andersen is young and has time on his side.I saw some improvement in him this season probably not so at Lynn but elsewhere he has done.And after he signed for Redcar i think there has been a further improvement going by his scores anyway. But Porsing has had a few more years under his belt,but he seems to be going the other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly massive underdogs against those two teams. We should see off Ipswich but that’s about it.
