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.

Probably also struggled to come to terms with the fact his brother is better than he is.

He did win Heat 14 at Kings Lynn but probably wasn't under too much pressure given the state of the match at that stage.

His engines will remain under powered unless the club give him a engine better suited to bigger tracks, I don't think it is anything else as he is riding well in the championship and he isn't going to invest more money into his equipment for the play offs especially as I doubt he will be at Poole next season. It is up to Matt Ford to help him if we want to win.

Apparently his bike is under powered for the bigger tracks.

Unless Worrall improves we have a problem at reserve, Woryna was doing a good job and now he is in the main team, hopefully Worrall can be as good but i have my doubts.

Be amazing if they do though.

He is 21 and he gets tired of too much travelling and too much racing, they are his choices and I don't suppose he does anymore than most other top riders.

Brady keeps making excuses for his poor performances, in the paper he said he had only had one poor week! We should all get off his back and he is only 21. How old is Robert Lambert? Has Robert Lambert's form dipped? Too much racing and too much travelling are poor excuses, Kurtz will never make a gp rider because he is too inconsistent.

Another pointless thread.

I can't imagine many Poole fans were there because like me I expect they thought it wasn't a meeting that would change anything and also a threat of rain which didn't materialise. Kings Lynn on the other hand needed the win if they were to have ambitions of getting top spot and were obviously up for it which is why they got four 5-1's in the first 5 heats. well done to them they got what they deserved and Poole got what we deserved.

So why would Brady want to win heat 13? He could have had an unfortunate engine failure.

Why the question mark when you haven't asked a question!

Don't think it matters i expect Kings Lynn to pick Belle Vue anyway if they finish top.

Of course we will try to win our last match. We are at home and the home crowd will want us to end the season on a high prior to the play offs and it shouldn’t be difficult against Wolves who have nothing to ride for now.

No not scared of anyone even Kurtz got a race win over Robert Lambert showing he is fast enough when needed. Worrall also in heat14. Ok so considering we were always likely to lose, it didn't matter by how many and Klindt missing only shows how much we wanted it last night. In my view it would be very risky for Kings Lynn to pick us in the playoffs because of last nights performance, they know we are much better than that.

Yes Steve but we are way better than we have shown tonight. I hope we get KLynn in the play offs
