POOLE V SCUNTHORPE, WEDS 14TH MAY 2025.

[SteveLyric2]

So Poole have a different no.7 and a change of rider order! Not sure Lewi has been declared fit yet so r/r could operate at 4.

Thoughts.....?

Who's gone to No 5 - Anders Rowe or Zach Cook?

I think Scunny have a real chance if they stop Poole's bottom three scoring.

Zach Cook is at 5 for Poole.

Poole will win this. Only place Scunthorpe will be stronger is reserve. For Scunthorpe to start winning away, Harrison has to up his game away and Lambert and Allen (Barring his display at Redcar) need to up their game completely.

Who writes the articles on Scunthorpe's website or posts them without proof reading first?

I bet Poole wish they had him at number 5 😂

Why? If r/r for Harrison then Lambert and both Kennedys can take the rides

Scunthorpe will run riot at reserve but i don’t expect any Poole rider to score less then his opposite number … 55-35

Because in the Scunthorpe Press Release there is no No2 rider. You have Ben Cook, Scunny have no No2 🙈

Nothing against Darryl Ritchings, but I'm kinda hoping he scores 0 points. Maybe help remind Poole fans it's not easy for a 2.00 reserve to score points against strong opposition reserves & they'll give Marson a bit of a break from criticism.

Marson wanted to find a full-time CL place as well as NDL outings to make it worth coming over from Aussie.

He accepted that he was only a placeholder in the Poole team until the end of June, which made it worth his while.

But to kick his out in early May to take advantage of another placeholder until June, seems pretty low.

I think this prediction couldn’t have been anymore accurate

Scunthorpe reserves easily out scoring Pooles reserves

All Pooles top 5 outscoring the opposing number 

55-35 boom lol

[Fozzie4388]

Saw a picture of Harrison's bike after his crash this evening rather bent. Still it'd probably still be faster than Lambert's

No, it isn't easy but Ritchings was a lot more on the pace than Marson was, so correct decision imo.

Poole always make changes if they think someone better available. Perry got sacked last season and at the time just started getting 2-3 points a meeting (that one was harsher - but also was correct in the end), so imo Marson was never going to last until June.
