Mr Blobby Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Said it when he signed and I’ll say it again now, Bowes was an awful signing by Poole and very unlike Poole signing. As he’s not very good. May have the odd good meeting but not what riding for Poole is about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Oxford should have been awarded x2 5-0's tonight. Kerr wasn't under power when Bowes had his first fall and Cairns back wheel was clearly over the white line in the first staging of heat 14. Bowes looks like a signing! 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Pretty decent meeting, Oxford a bit unlucky not to be closer but that’s Carrington for you, been around for years and years and never gets any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckerroo Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Tricky position but Newman seems too be getting his fair share of points in the n2 berth . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Just got back and thoroughly enjoyed that. Some very good racing tonight with lots of passing played out in front of a very good sized crowd. A few bones of contention. Bowes being excluded when it looked to all and sundry that Kerr had engine issues. And Wood getting back in when he seemed to fall on his own. Best race was clearly the Lawson last to first but special mention for Kyle who made it happen. Our reserves are both rather good though Cooper currently has the edge. Good rivalry in the same team will bring them both along. As for Bowes, well he had a disastrous meeting. Matt left him in heat 14 and he over tried when it looked like he was going to lead down the back straight. Got to give the lad a chance but Matt doesn’t take any prisoners. Last of all Kyle who tries his heart out every race. If that was his last meeting for Poole, he will be picked up within days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowes was responsible for the stoppage as he fell so had to be excluded although i agree Kerrs EF caused Bowes fall. Kerr wasn't under power when the red lights came on so should also have been excluded. Wood fell after the red light came on so was rightly allowed to contest the rerun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no surprise he wanted to celebrate when he pulled it off, with a real gritty ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowes should not have been excluded for laying his bike down to avoid Kerr, Kerr should have been excluded as primary cause. Kyle was excellent and I would keep him, he is Poole at heart and always gives his best for us, he should have been given heat 15 with the meeting already won. Bowes seems to have been signed on one excellent meeting last season, tonight he was awful as he was at Oxford. Lawson on the other hand was brilliant.

Both should have been excluded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the reason he was still under power though as rode back to the pits so hard to say what caused the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeandTV Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Oxford are a far different beast without Erik Riss. With him, they should be favourites - without him, might even struggle to make the playoffs. He makes that much of a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Simplest team change in the League is Retain Kyle Newman and drop Fraser Bowes. With Newman you know that you get 100% every race, I'm not even a Poole fan and i'm advising them on how to strengthen an already decent team.

Agree H keeping newman is the easiest and cheapest option(no airfares!) Think Kyle and Gilkes only need to average 5 or even less,considerable strength in rest of team,we were saying last night "how many team building mistakes has matt ford made over the yrs?' not too many,sure all will be fine Edited April 30 by poole keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
