He can come back to Poole any day

For a team that, after Sheffield lost Woffy, had, at least, a one point advantage in the averages, over the nearest team, they should walk the league.. Especially when you consider that the team building is based on 14 heats and they have Emil and Doyle in most H15's so, in reality, that one point advantage in averages is probably around three, given those two will "4-2" at worst, many H15's... All their riders were in the top two for their positions if you could cherry pick them, with several being the best for that riding number... The reduction for UK riders was used brilliantly by Chris Louis to get this septet together... Brennan was a main HL for Brum last year and rides now at the easier No3 position.. Their RS was considered the best.... Ellis and King have struggled sometimes at No3 but this year don't have that pressure... And, in Dan T, they have an excellent No6, with a great future in the sport... Add in a truly World Class spearhead and I thought no one could live with them... Still easily the team to best if all hit their straps but I would imagine there are some doubts creeping in...

I wasn't p1ssed off leaving foxhole last night #justsaying 🤣

Same here, Don't recall ever leaving a stadium pissed off and angry before, but last night I was fuming. Don't want to hear any excuses, ah so and so had bike problems, a bit of bad luck etc. It's happened one too many times now. This team is not going to win anything this year if they continue to perform like this. Kings Lynn were fired up and fighting for every point, that was clear, we just seemed to be out for a gentle stroll. With the team we have on paper, these performances are just not good enough.

Definitely no contact. it was an excellent ride by Thompson to work his way under Kerr off the second bend - he had tried it the previous lap and obviously thought if he got it right it would work, and it did.  Unfortunately, he then made entirely the wrong choice entering the first bend on the final lap - I wonder if the track had got Thompson confused, and he thought he'd be better off trying to put his back wheel on the grippy line, instead of trusting the inside that had served him so well?  As it is, Kerr saw a big gap, took advantage, and Thompson had nowhere to go on the outside, which offered nothing at all. The Ref would have had a clear view. When offered such a gap, any rider would have done what Kerr did - if it had been an Witch inside a Star, I'm sure the fans would have been miffed if the Witch had been excluded. Overall, the Witches should never have been in the position of needing three 5-1s in the last three heats at home!  KL did just about everything right - and earned a (cough) well-deserved aggregate victory.

Quite worrying that it’s been two weeks and we’ve not signed a replacement, meanwhile Plymouth have made a great move to strengthen after their rider got injured within 3/4 days. In the words of Victor “he who hingeth aboot getteth hee haw”
