If Bowes doesn’t turn his fortunes around then he’d be my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman capable of an off night, so is Kerr. Factor in Bowes not scoring. Don’t get me wrong we are certainly a top 2 side this season. But i fully expect Glasgow to make changes and suddenly be competing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Calm down people, we are not yet in the middle of May and only had one Championship meeting whilst progressing nicely in the KO Cup and BSN series. I get why Glasgow might be looking at changes having been knocked out of 2 competitions already, but lets not get too paranoid. With last Friday's postponement at Redcar meaning Cooper won't get a 'proper average' til 7 days after the rearranged Redcar fixture on Friday15th, and with Poole involved in KO Cup meetings in between, it looks like the Poole v Glasgow meeting on 27th will be even more interesting!! (Incidentally, re. Beau Bailey, his 2026 plans are set and he does not intend to do UK racing this year. However I have it on good authority that if he (his family) change their minds then Poole have first dibs, depending on the team situation at the time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Me thinks that if newman and Bowes can finish the season with averages between 4.5 and 5(obviously anything over would be great)with the strength in the remainder it's a medal winning team.Thunk some supporters expect every rider to be heat leader standard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoyed the first 2 meetings of the season. Poole always do their best to increase attendances when visiting away tracks for the benefit of the home club.😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that,I think we can Cairns riding like last meeting and the way Cooper has started we can and Newman at reserve will be a strong reserve,ideally we don’t want to but I feel Fraser has a bit of time to get things together,if he doesn’t who is there to come in…? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks a good team even with Bowes underperforming. If it ends up being Bowes & Cairns at reserve, that's a decent pairing. Of course if they brought in a stronger 5 pointer than Bowes, the team would almost certainly win all the silverware, but I think they're still favourites to even with a struggling Bowes. If Gilkes stars for Scunthorpe, will they rue letting him go (I never would've dropped Newman), probably not of they keep winning.

Yes still a good team with Bowes performing poorly and I suppose being at reserve we would likely see an improvement but if we had an injury he would have to step up and not sure he is capable.

They will need to get a really good ringer to stop your team someone like Beau Bailey or a dane on a par with that young lad they had lost year Nagel or whatever his name was, a 4 pointer who was closer to 8 by year end.

Wouldn’t put it past them. Reserves are stronger than last year. Pederson not quite as strong as they’d of hoped yet, still early days. Hausl looks to be struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
