I done Poole to win. They've had enough time to sort things out and this is a fantastic race track that the majority if not every rider loves. -

We are only outsiders because of our form. We need a reaction from Poole tonight. Another poor performance then changes have to be made. No more time. Because it will get worse and worse just like Kasprzak last year. -

Going to think positive about tonight. Poole to win. Kurtz & Grajczonek to score double figures. -
Think everyone needs to look at the league table and look at the bigger picture. We are already playing catch up.
-
I don't expect Szczepaniak to average anywhere near 6.5 to 7.5. But a huge worry is that his average has gone down whilst being protected at reserve. Szczepaniak is not scoring points anywhere for any club. We cannot afford an out of form No.6 when Shanes is only a 2.00 pointer.
-
Kasprzak lol and this is why I want a change. Risky leaving it for too long and could cost us a play-off place.
-
I know but Szczepaniak has been riding at reserve and is still struggling. Faced the Wolverhampton & Swindon pairing yet his average has still gone down. Rybnik dropped him for a week and will do again after only score 2 points in the last match for them. Horribly out of form and we cant afford to carry him because we carry Shanes as it is.
-
We cant stick by out of form riders for too long. We are lucky to even have points on the board. Big year for us. Yes we have only had a few meeting's but we could fighting an up hill battle if we lose the next couple of meetings and it could cost us a play-off place. I don't want riders sacked on 1 bad performance. But Szczepaniak has been poor and he got even worse last week losing to Alfie Bowtell. Then you look at Klindt who is scoring well everywhere this year. Klindt cleaned up at reserve for us last year. So I think it would be a good move.
-
We have 2 riders massively out of form who are not scoring points anywhere. Szczepaniak has been awful for Rybnik as well and losing to Bowtell is laughable. Cannot afford to have him Sundstrom and Shanes doing nothing every week.
-
Think we need to drop Szczepaniak. Riding awful even lost to Alfie Bowtell. Does Klindt fit when the new averages are released.
-
Was Szczepaniak ill last night or something? Did he have bike trouble? Surely he didn't lose to Alfie Bowtell fair and square. Did he?

Rye House v Wolves 25.04.18

Rye will be very good at home but woeful on the road. The modern day Lakeside of the top flight. -
Kings Lynn V Poole 25/04/18
Mattfordfan replied to therefused's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Maybe a UK visa issue? Could it be an average manipulation by us to get Chris in for Szczepaniak or Shanes. Maybe we are throwing meeting's away deliberately to fit Chris in for one of those. Its either one of the above that's for sure because he has been riding in Poland. -
Something fishy going on with Chris Holder here.
-
Sorry lol.
-
Szczepaniak 18 points from 17 rides this season is poor considering he has faced both the Swindon and Wolverhampton reserve pairing's already this season.
-
Didn't top the Polish Zuzlowa 1 averages last year for no reason.
-
Look at other team's No.6's banging in points. Bewley, Kerr, Newman (When he was at reserve). That's what you would expect Szczepaniak to be doing. This is the guy who topped the Polish Zuzlowa 1 averages last year. Fair enough not at Wolves I don't count that score because the track is very difficult to ride. Mateusz has had 1 good meeting for us and that's it. (Swindon) Home but he was riding against 3 of the weakest reserves in the league apart from that night he hasn't done anything.
-
Shanes is out of his depth imo. Its ok to carry a 2 pointer if the 1-5 is firing on all cylinders but its not ok if 1 member of the 1-5 is struggling. Personally I thought Szczepaniak would have been a lot better than he currently is and I thought we could cope with Shanes scoring 2 points a meeting because Szczepaniak would have been putting in the scores Klindt did at reserve last year but he has been a flop so far and now we cant afford to carry Shanes. I would give Josh Pickering a go as the No.7 when the new averages come out. Shanes doesn't do anything for me if he doesn't beat the opposing No.7 then he wont score at all. Riders like Etheridge and Wajtknecht manage to get points off 2nd string's here and there or a main reserve. I feel we need a No.7 who can do the same.
-
I'm right. Nobody needs to see Linus in person to know he's riding poorly. 7.22 average who is protected riding as a 2nd string who still cant win a race for toffee. The team is not good enough and its about time you realised that. We are very fortunate to have 4 points on the board. We only beat BV at home because Batchelor didn't try. Lucky for us Cook's partner had a baby if she didn't then that would have been another 3 points off the board. We couldn't beat a weakened BV team around the NSS. Therefore we have no chance whatsoever of doing better next time when BV will possibly be at full strength. Humiliated at home to Swindon. AGAIN! Pathetic performance at Wolverhampton and for some reason Middlo thinks we can take positives out of the meeting. Even Rye House had more race winners around Monmore.
-
The KL meeting needs to be the last chance for some of these boys. Lets face it we only won at home to Belle Vue because Batchelor didn't try if Cook was riding we would have lost that meeting as well. Kurtz - I have a lot of confidence in Kurtz and he will come good. Even if things aren't going right I believe he could turn it around at any moment. Woryna - Average so far but I believe he will get better in time. Grajczonek - Struggling everywhere at the moment but Iike Brady I have confidence in Josh to put it right. You know Josh is going to get going its just a matter of when and not if. Sundstrom - is rubbish outside of Sweden. Shouldn't be anywhere near an Ekstraliga team for starters. Protected at No.4 for us and he still cant achieve his starting average. Needs to go. I don't see Linus achieving his average. I don't see any improvement in him at all. Kildemand - Is going anyway but apart from Monday he has been fantastic for us. We need the Chris Holder of old otherwise this team really will fall apart when Kildemand leaves. Szczepaniak - Not impressed so far. Expecting a lot more from him and I'm not sure if we are going to get it. I think Mateusz could be one of those Poles who turns out to be a flop on UK shores. Shanes - Should never have been signed. Matt doesn't really want him in the team and he's only here to fit in another 7.00 pointer but that 7.00 pointer is a flop (Sundstrom). Problem is he might have to stay due to the points limit. Kildemand (If leaving) & Sundstrom for C. Holder and R. Worrall. Should fit considering everyone's average will drop.
