Timo Lahti next

4 times showing the world champion!

I think that’s unfair tbh as the two things are unrelated but now isn’t the time to debate it. Those are significant injuries and I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Get well soon Mitchell Davey. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

A Swindon 5-1 in the final vs Poole

OMG - this thread has been in meltdown today - not because of the speedway but about certain posters. Personally MFF doesn't bother me because I put him on ignore a long time ago and I only ever get to see his posts when others respond. It's not important who he is and he has trolled for several years now and nothing he says bothers me. Why people continue to feed the troll is baffling but each to their own. Back to the speedway, Poole have started badly but no one is dumb enough to write them off - they only need to make the top 4 and the premiership title will still be within reach! I still think they will be in the playoffs but they have definitely made it hard for themselves. The only way is up - they can't go any lower!

Well it's official - SS was absolutely correct and Poole do have the strongest team in the league - propping everyone else up from eighth place in the league! Surely their averages a low enough now to ring the changes?

SS gave you some good advice the other day. I suggest you listen to him and take a break because you are stressing yourself over nothing. Trust me, the poster was referring to Dorset Knobs - there was no bad language or ill-feeling intended

Nothing wrong with the language - you need to get out in the sun and chillax! Knobs =Dorset Knobs - doh!

You have changed your 1-7 (it is now not the same team that started the year) ergo the bookies got it wrong! Is that clear enough?

That is correct - it is where you finish that is important. However, the bookies made the declared 1-7 favourites and the team has now been changed so the bookies have already been proved wrong. Now that Poole have changed the team they may or may not still be favourites.

That’s shocking but given the knee jerk reactions last year signing terrible replacements - it doesn’t surprise me. Feel really bad for Shanes - pity he can’t ride for Swindon as he is at Sheffield on a Thursday. Why keep Spanner?

Absolutely and they will be looking to get back to winning and what better way to do that than to beat Swindon at Swindon. We all know the Poole team are capable of better and we shouldn't take anything for granted. I agree that it will be close with Swindon edging it - Poole may even get 1 league point. Hoping for a wider gap but I have seen battered teams turn up at Blunsdon licking their wounds and just being hungrier on the day and going on to win (hope that doesn't happen on Monday)

I don’t think anyone is calling for Davey’s head but he is scoring next to nothing so he needs to get back to his season starting form. As for replacing him, I would like to think that when the time is right, Swindon will have some points to play with and sign a 4-5 point rider to replace. But I would like to see him improve and his time must surely be limited.

Well done Kings Lynn for their win. Lambert appears to be in imperious form which is good to see. Bellego had an off-night and the Swindon reserves were woefully weak. I think Zach would have done better than Serj but when you build a top-heavy team, it doesn't leave much for reserves. At the start of the season, with the form that Davey showed in the charity shield, I actually thought I had got him wrong and he looked like he was going to have a decent season. Turns out I was right because he has become the binary man since with more zeros than ones! His time in the team must surely now be limited unless he finds that start of the year form.

Maybe not the Magnificent Seven then SS? You'll need to change your avatar - what about NASR - Need Another Seven Riders! Methinks you shouldn't have been so cocksure about your team!

I read he was unavailable because of a family illness - not necessarily him! So compassionate leave which probably isn't covered by that rule.

When will the bad luck end for Jye - as he has already been injured this season

Looks like DC2 has caught a tiddler

Good luck with that - that really would be taking the p!ss

Oh dear - is everyone getting in for free?

No one likes over confidence but when you are and your team doesn’t deliver - you have to expect a reaction. As has been said the season has just started and as we all know - it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. Poole will come good - I have no doubt about that.

Well done Swindon - great start to the season

Ok - my bad

I'm pretty sure that when the old TS rule was used, it couldn't be used for an RR ride - it seems Rosco doesn't agree
