Glad to see Freddie back after his injury, one of my favourite non Poole riders. I hope he has a good evening on a good racetrack.

When was it described as such?

Your the one who keeps digging!

I am staggered you can't come with anything better than the same old same old. Riders judge for themselves whether they are fit to ride or not.

Monmore is a good racetrack, been many times and enjoyed the racing most times, it certainly is not a hooror track. You can pick out meetings at most tracks where riders don't seem comfortable with conditions. Seen many great meetings at Monmore, i think your blinkered because of your hatred of a Wolves fan.

On top of that you still have James Shanes in the team when previously you said you wanted to get rid of him!

Doesn't sound good about Klindt injury, he may need a bit of time, hopefully back soon. I think Gater1 is going way over the top about Shanes who tries hard and is usually on the pace, got a couple of vital points at Leicester and rode well at Belle Vue with little reward, maybe could have expected a point or two but it has to be remembered he is a 2 point rider so needs to be given a bit of slack.

So overall it is safe to assume it is a speedway meeting between two teams with riders who may or may not perform to the best of their ability and could go either way.

True but not every rider would see it that way!

Most riders are a better option than Zengota at the moment! I know he hasn't had many meetings but he has been woeful. Had one decent race at Leicester when he gated other than that rubbish. Kyle says he needs more track time but I can't think it is only that.

It is true Belle Vue have had some surprising results at home but as someone else said Bates is hot and cold, he could score 9 or 2, Batchelor may be a better option than Zengota but Steve is right when he says he isn't as good as he was. 13 in a individual meeting doesn't mean he will get double figures tonight. Newman may have scored paid 9 last night but half of those points were gifted so he is still badly out of form, Shanes could have a good night hopefully and should beat Smith. With so many ifs and buts a very difficult one to call.

Great to see Andersen riding tomorrow, maybe we can get a point now but riders like Newman and Bates will have to ride a lot better than they did last night

Oh thats good, nothing i would like more than see Newman back to form.

What average would he come in on?

Hardly playing catch up we are currently second! Why are women always Right!! Yes I know I thought Gomolski would be a good choice and still maybe but obviously not to replace Brady

I had my doubts about Brady Kurtz after last season but wow has he proved me wrong, he gets better every time i see him, fast becoming the most vital part of this team. This could be a good team challenging for honours just one or two cogs need to start firing, no need to panic just yet. Newman needs time to improve and we need a number one which could still be KK if he came back from injury scoring well.

On tonights showing better off without Zengota!!

Great result with a 3 man team. Hope Bates is better at Belle Vue as he was crap tonight, thank heavens Zengota is only temporary! even KK on bad form would have been better, Don't know what was up with Newman, rode better at Leicester.

After Josh G won heat 13 would have thought he was worth a go in heat 15, glad Schlein had the decency to come third in heat 15 after failing in his last two rides at Leicester. Certainly pulled that one out of the bag. Kurtz what a performance.

Whatever you think of the Bates/Klindt argument, we are weakened by not having Andersen or Zengota and although Zengota may not have ridden there before the track would most likely suit him and Andersen is going very well at the moment and is a massive loss and all we have to replace them are Batchelor and r/r!! If we get a point it will be a huge shock, I expect crowd levels will be reduced especially from a Poole perspective.

On the subject of Bates he should be able to beat the Wolves reserves but Bewley may be more difficult at Belle Vue. We shouldn't have ant trouble beating Wolves, Josh G was poor at Leicester, Thorsell rarely goes well at Poole, Masters and Schlein should be ok but the reserves are also poor especially Greaves so a easy win on the cards.

To be honest with Josh G guesting for Freddie that is making Wolves weaker than Bates guesting for us especially as the Wolves reserves are not that good and Bates should beat them both.

I think Klindt has certainly become a good team man and his experience is a vital part of the team, Bates will undoubtedly score well but we will still miss Nicolai.

Yes good shout, rode well at Leicester Saturday and likes the track.

Bates is a decent replacement but I don't think he would score any more than Klindt who has been going very well. Belle Vue is made for Polish riders so I think Zengota would go well but we may never know. Maybe Nick Morris would be a good guest.
