Why on earth do you want Shanes gone? Both Poole and Swindon built their teams top heavy and went with a good reserve at 6 and a weaker one at 7. Davey has been worse than Shanes yet Swindon are winning matches. This is because their top 5 is performing as good or better than it should be and Pooles top 5 (Kildermand excepted) have been woeful. Shanes is doing his job, if the other 6 were doing theirs then there would be no issue

If you read many of my posts instead of being selective then you will realise i rate Brady. Fact remains he has had a slow/poor start to the season. Will he be as good as Tai and Lindgren next season like you said? I doubt that. Not as good as Adams and Crump at the same age but has the potential for sure. I admit riders regress like Holder, so soon he will be expected to beat the likes of Tai and Lindgren, but put Kurtz in the GP series eithe r this year or the next and he would be as big as outsider as Cook

Im assuming that thats a tongue in cheek comment re Brady good rider that he is

Depends on how many you need to change and what riders and point are available. How long do you keep a struggling Sundstrom? How much time do you give Woryna? Is Kurtz going to up his game or do you go for a Woffinden/Lindgren instead. I for one dont believe in this early days crap. You need to hit the ground running or you can get to far adrift to make the points up. My team Ipswich , like Poole a favourite for their league have lost 3 matches 2 at home and the fans want better, Poole can be no different

All i said in the off season was the Poole team looked very good but with lots of risks and if the risks dont come off they could struggle. Kurtz needed to step up to be a true number one.......may do in time but so far he is out of form in the UK......irrelevant of his form in Poland. Holder was a risk if he could get back to his form............well he hasnt yet rode Linus has been away from the UK for a while and may take time......and was he any better than Hans Andersen? The 2 Poles are huge risks.....same as any Pole over here especially away from home.....and as of yet they not done much at all but again they may come good. You build a team like that then you like good if it all comes together but as i said pre season its a big if

That doesnt count he doesnt ride for Poole Lets be honest so far Woryna hasnt done much 6 being his best score in 4 matches. Came with a lot of hype as a future GP star. This is the issue with the Poles as none of their best stuff is here and Poole will be low down on his list of priorities. I know he has only had 4 matches and could get better but its not a good start.

Poole should get a point at Lynn. If they don’t then there is issues for sure

Which is exactly what everyone is doing now. Shovlar was the biggest culprit telling everyone how Poole were going to smash everyone so when your getting beat as easily as you are right now then you have to take all the stuff that comes your way. If you can’t take it don’t dish it out

Just a few little gems

As I said on paper Poole looked like the best team but with huge risks and one of those risks has yet to ride this season! The poles haven’t done anything yet. Woryna was going to put 3-4 points on his average and I’ve yet to see any indication that will happen. Linus has been poor and so to has Josh really and Kurtz is not living up to a number one role yet. Poole were built top heavy hence Shanes is in and I still see people saying he should go lol. Look at Swindon also built top heavy and Davey has done nothing yet they are still winning matches because the top boys are banging in the points so Davey can be carried a bit.....which the Poole top boys are not doing at the moment Timo Lahti is on standby.....

Correct, every track has racing lines that the home team know best but yes its all about being able to control a bike and not just be a throttle jockey. Look at Mark Loram, could ride any track, fast ones like Exeter but good at Wolves , Eastbourne and Arena, Darcy Ward was good at Arena to. Unfortunately some riders have a mental block before they even ride there

Not that i was going to this or that i live in Peterborough but im in Chelmsford and we have had 5 days including today of sunshine im a little bit surprised that this is off. How long is Peterborough to Ipswich and hour and a half? I fully understand that we have had those weeks of awful weather so meetings were cancelled in advance but this seems a bit strange

But thats the way the Poole team has been built this year. You cant go top heavy like Poole have with Kurtz, Holder and Josh and Linus as 4 heat leaders yet be strong in reserve. If Shanes gets 3 or 4 a meeting he will have done his job. The problem at Poole is that the top boys are not doing there job

ZAGAR £30 MORE PEDERSEN £30 LESS

So Poole wait all winter for the Polish ruling so they can bring in Sundstrom..................then he has average meetings in his first 3 and Poole ditch him!!

Are you that thick that you compare form abroad to form over here. So your happy Brady gets 14 in Poland and then bangs in 3 or 4 on Monday....prat. Wasnt you telling everyone how amazing Woryna is in Poland beating top riders but over here he cant beat Bellego or Eliis or Starke. I hope your boys keep banging in big scores abroad and riding poor for Poole.....maybe its a management issue

Ah you missing me. Havent seen you on the Poole thread another new name for someone. Funnily enough i was out with my children last night its what parents do. Is the sport all about winning trophys then or is that the Poole mantra , win at all costs. Im happy to see my team race and will support them through thick and thin......unlike many Poole fans who disappear when they start to lose. And lets be fair Poole have a vast majority of morons on here so the Poole threads are such fun

No you dont. 3-4 meetings is fine to assess a riders form. If they are new to this country like Woryna then yes they need longer to be assessed. Kurtz is not in form simple as that. 15, 7 and 3 is not the scores of a rider who is in form. I dont expect it to last as Kurtz is a better rider than that but right now he isnt riding well. I think he may put to much pressure on himself at times. Seems to make mistakes or blow races when the pressure is on. Aussie champs this season prime example, apart from an engine failure he only lost one qualifying race yet blew every final , either falling or knocked Holder off in one as well i think. If he cuts out the silly errors and doesnt put to much on himself then he could go far. With regards him and Morris, Brady reminds me of a young Crump and Morris a young Adams....Morris more in control but Kurtz more likely to go on to better things and be the better rider

Nothing wrong with the Lakeside track, riders just need to learn to adapt better, not every track should be fast flat out racing. Watching Mark Loram wind it on on the big Polish tracks and Peterborough and Exeter but then also proving to be a master of Eastbourne and Arena shows riders can adapt

Hougaard for Worrall is laughable Steve had started the season flying and on a low average that he looked like improving he will be nigh on impossible to replace. Nobody is saying he is a world champion just on an average that he looked like improving on and to replace that with someone else who could improve isnt easy and it certainly wouldnt be Hougaard!! As an example Howarth at Wolves looks on a low average , same for Ellis at Swindon. If either of those got injured i would say they would be more difficult to replace than either Thorsell or Morris for example.

How does his 5 points at Swindon show where he is lol How about Kurtz 7 away and 3 at home ......guessing though as he rides for Poole that doesnt show 'where he is'

Im sure Brady will be ok eventually but on paper he was the weakest number one in the league and at the moment he isnt doing much to change that. Shouldnt be hard for Holder to push for number one as nobody from Kurtz, Josh and Linus seem capable of it

I wouldnt expect either Tungate or Bjerre to pass PK once he hit the front. But worrying how the front 3 were grouped together and Pooles number one on a tactical ride actually lost ground as the race went on

And you dont troll lol Holder wouldnt do any better than PK so why would you want Holder to ride? He wasnt treated abysmally he threw his dummy out same as Batch did. I like Holder but you dont hold a team or the sport to ransom simple as that. Kings Lynn wont lose patience with Iversen........................maybe Poole need to look at replacing Kurtz with a proper number one.....shame someone like Nick Morris isnt available

It is way to early for any club to start talking about changes but how far do you let things go? At Ipswich so far Covatti and Heeps have been awful. Nico is coming back from a season out and Cam was flying last year. But they had an awful track to contend with at home to Peterborough which didnt suit racers, and then going to Lakeside which they both hate. Im sure my club will stand by them. As i said at the start of the season there was a lot of risks in this 1-7. The risks were if the Poles could produce their form, If Linus came back as strong as was, If Holder was still up to it. So far Poole have had a big success in Kildemand. There is no way Holder can do any better than PK so as long as he gets the same thats fine. The Poles have done their job i would say but nothing spectacular and with the way the team is built so to is Shanes. The problem with Poole is Brady so far has not lived up to his number one status. A maximum in the first meeting against a team missing their 2 best riders at Poole and a third heat leader in Fricke who doesnt go that well at Poole, masking over poor returns in his next 2 matches. I dont care how bad the track is a number one cant get 3 at home. Sundstrom to has shown nothing like he can do. The Poles havent yet got going really, Woryna managing only 6, 6 and 5. To be honest thats what i pretty much expected but we were told he would be a heat leader. Im sure it will come right but as i said lots of risks before a wheel was turned and to me those risks are still there
