Yes ok looked at it from a Poole perspective, they could have got above Belle Vue and Swindon with results going their way.

Impossible to beat Poole because of your points difference. Had another look you could have got above Belle Vue and Swindon with some results going your way.

If you had won tonight it would still be impossible for you to make the play offs.

Oh is that right how do you explain Doyle not riding in heat 15 then?

I would assume they heard Kings Lynn had won at Wolves and decided they couldn't catch them.

Yeah strange, looks like they heard the Wolves score before heat 15.

It's like they heard the Wolves score and decided not to bother.

What did we fiddle during the season?

To stop the Pirates fiddling!

Swindon could have replaced him if they had acted before the deadline.

Why is it a crazy rule? if your rider who is declared in your line up is fit he has to ride.

I don't want either thanks!

Tom is worth the risk don't you think considering he actually scored points last time, something Jack has failed to do on numerous occasions.

This is a crucial meeting for both teams so Belle Vue need to hope Somerset are knackered with this being their third meeting in 3 days!

I don't think a Wolves loss will help Swindon much, neither will qualify for the playoffs

No excuses required we will win fairly easily.

2nd bend actually, well that's the one Doyle found. Poole track should only be raced on a sunday it's so holy!

But I doubt most hardcore support was there, I go to a lot of away meetings but didn't go and I expect many felt the same. After all it is a bloody long way from Dorset to see your team get hammered!

It is true the Kings Lynn meeting was always going to have little bearing on our final league position, I wouldn't say we should beat Wolves at home without trying too hard. I doubt we missed the gate in the early races on purpose but the track was quite deep by all accounts so difficult to pass in the early heats so once we missed the gate no much point in trying too hard. I don't see how you can say to riders go like the wind in one race then say make sure you come last in this one. I know there have been meetings in the past where we have been accused of match average manipulation but I don't believe that was the case at Kings Lynn but the fact that Klindt wasn't shows a lack of desire to really go for it. Kings Lynn no doubt were really up for it and fully deserved their victory but I would be very surprised if history repeated itself at Kings Lynn or our home match against Kings Lynn where we won by a similar scoreline.

Yes agree Kurtz has been a problem all season, Josh was bad but better now and has been in a few heat 15's lately. Kurtz has the ability to beat anyone but rarely does, he needs to up his game. We have a easy meeting Wednesday when all the riders should get good scores and a confidence builder.

Brady can beat the best now and again but every meeting he seems to have at least two bad rides usually 3, Harris has been good overall but struggles on tracks with no grip, Klindt has been terrific and could be the joker in the pack, Worrall has had one or two good meetings but we should still have the best reserves. One of the problems is we haven't got a top pairing like Doyle and Holder or Lambert and Iversen.

Poole are in the play offs, its now mathematically impossible for us not to be in the play offs. Yes we changed the team, all teams who are likely to be in the play offs have changed their team. DC2 went on and on endlessly about how Swindon hadn't changed their team but maybe some changes should have been made.

Depends who is doing the stroking!

Always prefer a long stroke myself!!

yes I get some riders are better at smaller tracks but he just looks so slow on the straights, maybe we are expecting too much of him but I hope he can improve a little as we will need him to perform if we are to have any chance.
