Remember that day very well, he was amazing that day.

To be honest even with KK they would struggle to get anything out of the meeting but now it's a forgone conclusion.

Yes i think we can agree the play offs are great for all teams fighting for the top four spots and are the most exciting meetings in the league calendar.

Just replying to your meaningless qualifiers comment which involves all teams hoping to make it to the all important play offs. Lakeside fans always think they are just making up the numbers but they have a massive home track advantage so anything is still possible. Belle Vue will top the table now so the Belle Vue meeting on the 12th is meaningless and would have been meaningless with or without the play offs but good practice for Poole.

But you are capable of getting a point at either venue so your not out of it yet.

There not meaningless if your Lakeside or Swindon! should be a good meeting at Lakeside when Swindon visit and a play off place is on the line, a meeting that hardly anyone would bother with if it wasn't for the amazing play offs.

Fricke was just feeling guilty for his Leicester performance big crowd for the top of the table clash and Sky rarely turn up on a thursday.

Yes i can appreciate that, always liked KK and he has ridden well this year. Unfortunately Hans isn't much better than last year!

That could be good news for his confidence and more in line with his ability.I feel we would be better overall with Kurtz at reserve and Ellis as second string bcause i think Bjarne can cope with heat leader better, good performance tonight.

As i said before KK has never let Poole down and was faultless, shame that he can't guest for us again. Hans is not KK and would not have scored as well so on that basis we are not favourites. Unfortunately Kurtz is proving me right and should have stayed PL for another year and we should have kept Kacper. Fricke was obviously feeling guilty about his abysmal performance at Leicester!

Fair enough forgot about the rolling averages for a moment. Unfortunately it seems we have to stick with Bjarne at reserve.

So the assessment is from a previously established MA , not really assessed as they used the average they finished on. If a rider starts the season on the same average he finished on in a previous season that isn't assessed, that is just using that previous season's average.

No they didn't Buckowski's was from 2014 at Leicester.

We were talking about Buckowski not Kasprzak. Neither started on an assessed average.

I didn't say he was poor just that he has been bad lately as his average has dropped back to what he started on as has Hans average.

With the new averages i see Kurtz is the same average as Bjarne, does this mean the team manager can choose who is at reserve? I also see Buckowski is now more or less the same average he was at the start of the season which just shows how bad he has been lately.

I tend to agree with that Steve Worrall hasn't been scoring quite as freely now in the main team and i think our team would be better with Ellis at reserve.

I'm afraid not wish i could afford to retire!

Dont think Matt Ford wanted team changes or saw Hans injury as a opportunity to improve the team but of a rider has broken a hand which was the original diagnosis then he would be out for the season

We should win fairly comfortably with KK who has never let Poole down and hope Zagar is on one of his cant be bothered nights or broken finger nail

Lets hope for plenty of wobbling from Belle Vue riders in the play offs

Lets hope he has one or two good play off meetings!!

I am sure a fully fit Hans is better than guests who are generally unreliable and KK would only be available for home matches. AS Hans has stated he has only a broken finger and with a few days off he will be ok to ride then it would be best to stick with him.

I think your right but one of many i believe.

Hans never has a problem speaking his mind that's for sure!
