Hawkins always seems to get the tactics wrong .

He won't need faster bikes at Ipswich.

I would love to have Richie back as the lack of a signing would indicate there are no viable alternatives but would rather he came back fully fit.

Only broke his ankle less than a month ago bit soon i would of thought.

True but wouldn't have been better to keep him and get Wells as short term cover for Richie.

Yes i agree i think we should of kept him

With the scores NBJ is getting might regret dropping him

Agree with all of that, as you probably appreciate it isn't me who goes on about stronger, weaker usually, most teams have had injuries during the season possibly one of the worst i can remember for injuries, probably Peterborough being hit more than most. Poole have a break before we race again and hoping to have Brady back by then. As for your team i think Jake is back to form now and as a pair they are the best reserves in the league. When Nick Morris goes to reserve at Wolves possibly they would have the best if they get back to form.

Ipswich are a good solid team no doubt about it and Harris certainly likes riding at Poole, his overtake on Doyle last season will live long in the memory so I think they would be a tough nut to crack if we were to meet them in the play offs.

It is always expected that Poole win!

Aren't we weakened then?

He was better than expected, I doubt he rode like that for Peterborough or they wouldn't have sacked him. We can't get him to replace Richie, his average is too high, he only guested because of the 5% rule.

Looks like we will have to cope with r/r until Richie comes back but we have coped very well up to now. I like Richie and if he comes back riding like we know he can we will be fine. I was a bit surprised we didn't keep NBJ and get Wells as a temporary replacement for Richie though. if we had done that it would have kept our options open.

I don't think he will, seems a sensible lad to me. we do need him desperately though but don't want him back not fully fit, major plus last night was Covatti didn't look like he had come back too soon!

For some inexplicable reason Lawson who got 14 at Leicester the previous evening was very poor as he was at Foxhall, if he rode like he can and he usually scores well at Poole Ipswich would be more of a threat, King rode well last night but previously not too good so maybe come the play offs and they both rode well we could be in trouble.

lawson must have a problem riding against Poole as he was crap against us at Foxhall too!

I think it matters a lot because we need to finish top so we have choice.

I wasn't talking about the supporters cup meeting. I agree though that was probably a lucky escape Poole riders had crashes too but who cares about that competition.

Yes we did but Lawson was awful on the night, to get taken by Holder having been held up by Doolan was pretty poor I thought. I rate your team very strong all the way through, if Jake Allen came back to the form he is in prior to injury you have a major chance at the title.

I was there and I tend to agree with Lisa the score flattered you, Klindt broke down having passed Danny King down the back straight for example .

Yes and hopefully he can get more points than Kyle did.

Usually Danny King is ok at Poole, I think it will be close , fancy Ipswich to get a point hopefully not any more!

If that's the case we should have no worries.

I am still here! Wells will be fine as he was last time he rode for us and we have Covatti back which is a major plus. Barker could be a problem but could be covered by the reserves as we did with Kyle at Ipswich. Josh and Nicolai are flying and Jack has ridden well recently so should be a good night for the mighty pirates!

You could have Freddie Jakobsen on that average.
