Poole 2024

[Bagpuss 10,780]

Poole don't often get it wrong (and they may not have done this time either) but personally I feel they should have signed Hagon at number seven, gone with Lawson and the two Cooks and then fill the last three places accordingly. 

Straight away Redcar and Oxford look better on paper and there may be others too. However  only a fool would completely write them off.

Can't see Poole even making the play-offs with their balls up signing of Thomsen.

Redcar, Scunthorpe, Oxford and Workington will all look stronger.

Funny that it was the post just below yours lol. But this from a group of Peterborough fans that wanted Ben Cook sacked last season.

Aside from the discussion of Brennan & Thomsen vs Rowe & Newman. What about S.Worrall & Roynon, that would have come to 37.99.

Roynon's surely no worse than Thomsen, but Worrall for Brennan is a decent upgrade imo.

Really?………..are you taking into account their track and the aggregate bonus points?

Yes, Thomsen is just that bad and I can't see the 2.00 pointers being able to cover for him.

4.00 points used on a guy who couldn't score more than 3 for Brum apart from 1 meeting.

Team spirit would be an issue though. It was prob a lot better when Joe T was in the team.

Wait until you see Thomsen live then you'll see what I mean, Plus you won't be able to get a decent replacement in either because the HL's averages will go up in a weakened Championship.

Home track advantage means nothing imo when you've got two reserves with limited experience whilst having a dreadful Dane on a false average at No.2 who's real average is much lower than the 4.00 you've signed him on, Take out his one double figure score for Brum then this is what his scores were.

Apparently he has improved.

The Fords aren't daft they wouldn't have signed Thomsen if they didn't think he was going to perform and even if he doesn't they'll have a plan B up their sleeve to make sure come October they'll be in the Playoff final once more.

The Ford's are hardly going to be honest and say we couldn't get anyone decent in with the points available so we had to settle for Thomsen.

Personally if they knew they was going to end up with Thomsen then I don't think they would've signed Brennan because a Rowe/Newman combo would be better.

Their was a lot of talk about a 4.00 Aussie on this thread which suggests the Ford's thought they would get one + Brennan but it all went belly up.

Why would it be an issue out of interest?

They are all getting a bit exciting over Thomsen  but he is only a 4 pt man and if he rides to his average don’t see much wrong with that Team compared to others that have been named at this point.

Will be able to replace him with another 4 pointer if one is available. Hopefully it won't come to that though. 

Everything seems to be based on half a decade ago. I might listen more if it was one or two years ago.
