It would be much worse if you only had 5.00 to play with, you are fortunate he has done enough meetings for his average to go up considering he is missing meetings. With his current average he has gone above Flint so Howarth and Flint could take a r/r ride, ok not as good as Nagel but Villads has never ridden Poole before so not sure you could say he would have achieved a better score than r/r or a guest.

My point is I’ve seen the track been deliberately doctored on the outside to prevent him performing his typical Harris moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did Frazer Bowes but look how he scored the other week, when poor old worky took you to a last heat decider 😃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had poor meetings at kings Lynn this season too and he says its because they prepare the track for gate and go but meetings I have seen on tv it looks like he has lacked speed in those meetings. On Monday he was on fire but the opposition was very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him having similar debuts to Mcdiarmid and Bowes at Poole (maybe having to wait for playoffs if we meet). So Bowes would be a good replacement although be hard to reproduce similar score but you never know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand all that and I didn’t say he would achieve a better score at Poole but just that he is very much more on the up than any of the guests available.

Glasgow is a racers track with numerous lines and is nigh on impossible to prepare for home team advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, I expect him to achieve great things in the sport but Glasgow knew when they signed him he would miss some meetings but like Plymouth with Klindt are willing to accept that.

See, that’s my point. We don’t normally win at home by big margins. Our bigger scores were mainly due to crap performances from the opposition. Unusually in Edinburgh’s case and Oxford and Scunthorpe have no real substance this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted Wednesday at 05:39 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:39 PM Sorry to interrupt, but just thought people might be interested. Just had a chat with Middleditch to ask about Tobias's foot. Apparently it was just a sprain, and he will be back for next Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly look quick at Kings Lynn in his last meeting. Pretty sure it was KOC final on BSN.
