They’re gonna be on a hiding to nothing here! Absolutely impossible to do much with those sort of temperatures. I don’t envy them Thursday.

But that’s not exclusive to Poole is it? Some of you carry on as if it’s only Poole who are weakened and everyone else is either at full strength, and actually “stronger” due to guests and R/R! The knives were out for Worrall before his injury. We went many meetings without Jake Allen who at the time wasn’t just the best reserve in the league, he was one of the in form riders full stop! The likes of Josh Bates were brought in for meetings and were scoring next to nothing and we still managed to pick up points most meetings. Wolves have had problems, Swindon also, Peterborough have had rotten luck during, and even before the season even started. It’s not exclusive to just Poole. And yes, Poole have done very well to battle through their recent problems to still pick up points, no doubt about it.

Everyone is entitled to the odd off night they all have them. He’s generally been very good all season and pretty consistent. Much better than I was expecting in all honesty.

Will be interesting to hear what went wrong tonight Taps when he does his column, like I said hes usually half decent around Wolves and has just come off a 15 point maximum for Sheffield so would have thought full of confidence. Strange one. Just a mention for Richard Lawson. He’s really impressed me this season and he’s produced much more than I was expecting. Had the odd stinker like all the lads have at some stage, but in the main he’s been consistently decent.

Poole, Swindon, Ipswich and Belle Vue you’d think odds on for the play offs

Great to bounce back with a very handy 2 points on the road but what on earth happened to King? Usually pretty good value around Wolves.

That seems to have been a copy and paste for every meeting they’ve shown live so far this season bar the NSS.

It did and it’s a great shame. The same can be said for Kings Lynn always used to look forward to going there too but that’s gone down the pan as well. Seems to be a general problem these days

Possibly although nothing was mentioned and the riders didn’t seem to see a red light

Bizarre decision. Surely Wright is the cause of the stoppage and should be excluded? They’re not even questioning that decision in commentary either

Well done boys! Yet another meeting we’ve taken something from. Like I said earlier, fancy us against any side in this league over two legs. Great effort.

Exactly right Baldy. The away efforts are done. As long as we win the remaining fixtures at Foxhall then we’re not finishing 5th or lower. Would be nice to top the table though of course, but I’d fancy us to beat any other team in this league over two legs. One injury though can scupper everything so you always need that bit of luck. Not bad for a rag bag team that is “cannon fodder” and “guaranteed to win the wooden spoon” though

It’s just a pity clubs don’t pay hard cold cash for your “assets” anymore. I’m sure someone will pick him up every year though so the loan fees will come in handy. One odious little toad him.

Would be more than happy with a point but no points at all wouldn’t be a disaster. We had 3 consecutive away meetings, Peterborough, this and Belle Vue before we ride again at home. Before Peterborough if you’d said we’d take a point from each to keep us ticking along I think most would probably have taken it. We took 4 away from the Showground so anything from this and Belle Vue would be an added bonus.

Can we ride you, can we ride you, CAN WE RIDE YOU EVERY WEEK

Well I hope you enjoyed it

3 tricky looking away fixtures on the bounce. Think our best chance of points is Peterborough away next Monday. Important we take at least a point from that as I don’t fancy us taking too much from Swindon and Belle Vue.

Bellego? He needed dropping by us as he just couldn’t get to grips with Foxhall and that hit his confidence. Definitely the right decision despite what the Swindon mob claim. But, he’ll find Belle Vue much more to his liking, get his confidence back up and he’d prove a very good signing I’ve no doubt.

Are people doing this on purpose? Or are those up Norfolk way simply not the sharpest tools in the box? Ill go for the latter Edit: Tellboy excepted

Lynn weren’t “beaten” at home, which is what he said. It was a draw.

It was a draw

Nah Lambert was much better last time and I’d expect him to be better again on Thursday. Cookie is Cookie, one of the best around at Foxhall. Those two alone will make it a competitive meeting.

Summers was in decent form so expected more from him tonight. It can’t be understated what a fit Jake Allen brings to our team so to still be picking up league points without him is a huge credit.

Team game this though. King and Lawson have played big parts in great results as well this season while others struggled. We have a team of inconsistent riders but when one or two have hit their off night, thankfully a couple of others have stepped up to the mark like tonight. We’re going great guns
