Lidsey has been so poor as has Batch

Sometimes weather dictates as does the opposition, it was a very one sided contest as born out by the score.Klindt was terrific no one else turned up. Allen was his normal self at Wimborne Road, the rest were awful. Lawson did not gate in one race but had little trouble passing both bears before the 3rd bend. Ace was his usual self moaning about his fall, never his fault.

Will looked fast last night and unfortunate to not get heat 15 after apparently blowing an engine after heat 14.

Klindt was incredible last night, not even Lawson could get anywhere near him and once in front he pulled clear.

I agree, Lambert has been shown too much loyalty. Poole have never been a club to keep an underperforming rider, we just got lucky with Newman, he has come in and done a job way above expectations, the form he is in he would have been picked up by someone else. It would have been crazy not to keep him. We all wish Dan Gilkes the best of luck this season with his respective clubs.

Will Cairns was fantastic tonight, shame about the engine, I suppose that scuppered any chance he had of doing a fully deserved heat 15.

Yes I agree I think he will improve, he lacks confidence at the moment but I am sure he will get better.

He did ok, a little improvement, riding at 2 suited him, still looks uneasy and lacking confidence on the bike but Redcar were so poor it maybe made him look better.

I am confident we will win the battle of the reserves, Jody Scott has been impressive and goes well at Poole but Cooper has outperformed him for Kings Lynn so it should be a good tussle.

Exactly and if you look at what Gilkes said, he was disappointed but understood the reasoning. The facts are he was not fit at the start of the season, he has spent a lot of time and money trying to get fit but he turned up for his first meeting and scored one point so he clearly is not ready yet. From a Poole point of view, we got in a rider to cover for his absence who did very well, this rider is a Pirate through and through who has always given his all for us, to dump him for a not yet fit rider would be stupid. I feel sorry for Dan Gilkes but this is a sensible decision.

Kyle at reserve will be terrific, I am so pleased he is staying, always liked him, always gives his best for us.

Yes I hope so, his high score was against Scunthorpe although he did beat Pickering once. Hopefully Lawson will help him improve.

Fair point, we need to see how he goes in his next meetings, apparently guesting for Workington, see how that goes in what should be easier than riding at Leicester.

Yes but if Gilkes is not fit yet maybe we should be looking elsewhere or just wait to see if he can get fit with Leicester.

Definitely need to keep Kyle, maybe replace Bowes with someone who could score a few points.

Isnt he still under 28 day rule

Only if Poole release him.

Haha we are not the Comets!

I dont think so.

Cant Bowes move to 8!!

He wasnt replying to you.

Haha we are not Glasgow Tigers!!

Can't believe you are moaning about Harris, he sometimes starts the season slowly but by the end he is giving everything for his teams, he has been very good in the Premiership but I would have thought you could forgive him the odd off night or the odd fall. You know he will come good when it matters. Not surprised Danny King beat him, he has been riding very well recently. As you say not your biggest problem.

I feel it will be a good test for our reserves as Jody Scott is going exceptionally well at the moment.

Yes it looks that way, he could come good but it doesnt look promising. We seem to have signed him on the basis of one outstanding meeting, it seems obvious to keep Kyle Newman who has been very good.
