Lindgren will probably get a pick as he will maybe be 9th/10th and hasnt really been 100% fit at certain times. Jonasson isnt a gp rider at all. Janowski is a possible. MJJ doesnt deserve a gp slot. A lot will depend on the challenge but Holder will obviously get 1. Can see the other 3 being Lindgren, Laguta, Janowski/Dudek depending on the challenge result. There isnt a Brit who deserves a full time wildcard. If Ward stays on his bike he will make top 8 if not then he obviously will need a wildcard. Gollobs heart isnt in it thats obvious and i would like to see this legend retire gracefully rather then not give a stuff

Somebody maybe Holder needs to get hold of Ward and make him realise what he could throw away. Arrogant that he didn't need to do what Tai is doing. Take a good look Darcy because you may never reach his level on the world championship if you think all you need to do is turn up and ride

Ward Pedersen Zagar Gollob

hope he does well for you i like Glasgow just cant stand North. didnt say slagging off Arlington is wrong just think its a blinkered view thats all.

what does it matter how he rides the track totally irrelevent

the bloke is a jumped up aussie who thinks he is better the is bit like Batchelor but at least Troy has a touch of class

WARD ZAGAR MADSEN PEDERSEN

Good luck Glasgow having this ego riding for you! Nothing against Glasgow like the club and fans but you will soon see what you have signed. A gating tart who thinks he is better than he really is and can't pass a premier league 3 pointer. As I say hope he does well for you guys you deserve success but read his twitter as well the guy is a plank. Didn't want to ride premier league thought he was to good and now can't even get out of the reserve spot in the elites bottom club.

Barker is a bit of a plank us Ipswich fans know that. but the spark you talk about was Cook on Twitter slating Barker. One person started it that was Cook.

Barker is a plum we all know that. trouble is Cook is turning into one and someone needs to grab hold of him soon and tell him a few home truths

stop talking out of your backside. we all know ben rubs people up the wrong way. But cookie started on him so i suggest get your facts right Tool he decided to basically wreck the room! thrown out because the ref couldnt be sure that he wouldnt attack Barker on the track. wqe all know Barkers a bit of a plank but this was needless all because Ben took his place in team gb cook needs to grow up or piss away his career cook rode into him by the pit gate for no reason after the race and Barker reacted to that. so yes ben did naff all wrong apart from taking cooks place in team gb

get the facts! the sun approached Ben, the innocent party in this, so why shouldnt he speak? Cook has had his say issuing a totally ridiculous apology so why not Barker his? face facts our sport needs a bit of publicity!! or would you rather see our sport hit the news for a bad injury or tradegy?

nope you are wrong! both got fined for the fracas in the pits. Cook got thrown out for ungentlemanly conduct and violent conduct in the meeting with the ref where he basically kicked and hit any inanimate object around destroying the place! Violent conduct doesnt have to be towards a human being

exactly. Im an Ipswich fan and he is dislike thats obvious so why the heck did Middlo pick him? Tai has even gone on Twitter to congratulate Cook!Yet again poor decision making from Middlo

As an Ippo fan we all know Barker winds people up but when other riders like North resort to deliberately fencing a rider then gloating about it it's gone to far. Cook was thrown out for behaving like a spoilt brat in the refs box! All because he lost his team gb spot to Barker he decides to go for him! Needs a quick lesson in growing up! If anyone can please tell me what Ben has done wrong here other than take his gb spot then I would love to hear it lots of this started due to North so keep your own riders in check! Nice to see you condone violence though

what and Cook doesn't? Cost his team any chance if a cup final place

so who made them decisions? Better man with more motivation and tactical brain is needed

completely missing the point. A better manager will make the same riders do better, not world beaters no but better than the world cup shambles stop talking out your backside. its an analogy if you know the phrase or go get a dictionary. A better manager (in any sport!!!!) will make the same team do better through skill motivation and tactics . We are now on 16 pages of a thread where all but 2 people say he should go but you keep flogging your dead horse. What everybody is saying is this: Kennett was a bad choice. Race off riders wrong choice. Tactics woeful Motivation lacking If you dont think a new manager could get those things changed that we wouldnt do better? Of course we would!!!!!!!!!

its not just about picking a better side! That's a blinkered view! It's about getting the best out of what we got and he patently doesn't do that. It's like telling Wenger to manage Scunthorpe he won't make them premier champions but I bet they do better!

yep Kevin Keegan was great at Newcastle and crap for England!! Just because you Poole fans think the sun shines from his backside doesn't mean he is right for the country. Oh and Keegan failed because he picked the wrong team and his tactics were crap! ring any bells???

he blatantly is a yes man the whole forum knows it except the blue tint army. Tell you what as it is the riders that are the problem lets have no manager. That's what footy teams do if they are doing bad they sack the manager and don't bring in anyone as its the players fault! Laughable! We don't have a good set of riders but the right manager would help them do better. He has to go and I think at least 90% of people on here realise that

what a load of tosh!!! that is the worst statement to make and is the one that every Poole fan is trotting out in trying to defend Middlo. Put Jose Mourinho in charge of Yeovil. Would they challenge the top of the premiership?...................No Would they be a better team with more team spirit and produce better results ........................Yes Stop using the argument about the riders. A better manager would provide a better performance.........simple

Rosco and all the other managers would love a top 2 of Holder and Ward using Matt Fords money. it cant be that hard to build a team around those 2 can it!! but look at the awful team he put together this year. The only reason Poole are were they are is because Ward got injured and the side could be strenghened!! Middlo isnt fit to lace the shoes of someone like Pete Adams. if you think Middlo is good at getting a team gb team to gel and bring through youngstres and get the best out of the boys then my word you are far off the mark. let him mange poole with the aussies and poles it suits him

what has his Poole situation got to do with team gb. He is fine at Poole with Ward and Holder but as a boss of team gb he falls way below what we need. are you that blinkered just read the posts on the Middlo page!!! its only poole fans who think he should be team gb boss

sorry dont agree with that at all. correct we only have a select band of riders to choose from and we not going to beat the danes and the poles. but simply....... Did he pick the correct team in either match.......................................NO Did he generate team spirit...............................................................NO Did he get his tactics in the race off right.............................................NO Is he bringing through younger riders....................................................NO As i have said football teams change their manager they dont change the players but the manager gets the best out of what he has and Middlo, nice guy that he seems, doesnt!
