Berwick v Poole Championship 17/05/25 7pm
Bald Bloke replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Lewi rode 13 meetings last season for Berwick. Averaged 5.83 at home from 6 meetings, and 8.00 away from 7 meetings. Should be your top scorer tonight you say. -
Looks like this will be a close one. I'd rather use R/R around the AFA, than the riders mentioned. Sheffield are up there, but all their meetings have been at home, apart from 1. Picko could be the difference for me. He's been nearly unbeatable in the Tigers 5 home meetings, averaging just under 11 inc bonus points. I think he scored 8 from 5 in his only away meeting, so hopefully we get the away Picko.. Klindt should comfortably out score Kerr at 6. But Leon Flint could well outscore Ashton at 7. Sedgmen will have a tough night I think. It's a tough one, but i'll go The Stars to lead early on, and the Tigers to tighten things up in the later stages, but Lynn to get over the line. 47-43

I can't see us picking up many aggregate points this season, with our away form unfortunately. Winning most of our home meetings won't get us top 4 on it's own. We are 7 meetings in already, and our next 4 i think are, Sheffield Home, Brum A, Ippo H, Ippo A. This seasons averages, after 7 meetings. Harris (H) 8.67 (A) 4.21 Kvech H 8.00 A 4.76 Klindt H 8.00 A 5.00 Lawson H 6.15 A 6.60 NKI H 6.15 A 5.33 Cook H 2.29 A 4.00. Only 2 home and 2 away meetings for Ben. He's a lot better than that, and I hope he will get going when he's back.

That's the way

He will probably be next, even though he started on 3.36, and has averaged 4.40 in his first 4 meetings. I can't see the attraction of riding for Poole myself tbh. Tick tock

You have 5 riders going who are currently riding better than their average. I'm pretty sure Lewi will get going soon.. Feel a bit sorry for Marson myself.. Unless he asked to go. Riders GSA at the start of the season.. Averaging after the 1st 4 meetings Lawson 9.17 9.40 Cook 6.23 8.40 Rowe 6.11 8.47 Thomsen 4.41 5.07 Starke 3.36 4.40

According to Speedway GB, Kerr rode 13 meetings in the Champ in 24. He averaged 7.09 in those meetings. But as you say his rolling average was higher. He came to Poole on 7.76. -

I'd give Lewi more time as well. He's started well for Sheffield, only 3 meetings, but averaging 6.91. Hes only 4 meeting in. He's averaged 8.00 for Poole at home, and 3.50 away, and he had bike trouble in 1 of them. So it's his away form that he needs to improve on. I'm pretty sure it will come. He averaged around 8 in the Champ away from home last season. -

You put pressure on ever rider from day one. -
It's a shame, but Ashton had this shutting off when things got close a lot last season as well. Obviously he and his team know the problem, and must be trying to fix it. But as i posted back in October, if he can't fix it himself, a sports psychologist might be worth a try. In his last home meeting, he won 2 races, and was buzzing going back to the pits. But he did run 2 lasts... He also was at the Young Stars meeting last week, so i think he still loves the sport, but is a young man very frustrated with himself at times. The longer this goes on, the harder it's going to be to overcome it. I don't like to drop a young local lad, but maybe stepping down from the Prem, and doing the Champ and NDL might help him re gain his confidence.
