Yes but if Gilkes is not fit yet maybe we should be looking elsewhere or just wait to see if he can get fit with Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, I wouldn't feel the need to look elsewhere - yet. Bowes hasn't started the season well, but as long as his rolling ave remains above 5, they have more options to replace him. But as his average won't change till June at the earliest, gives him time to find form. When they had 8 riders for 7 team places, that time wasn't available, if Poole didn't bring Gilkes back in, someone else probably would.

A lot could depend on who is at 5, as they recently swapped Jake and Jason around. Also what the decision is between Newman and Gilkes. I will go for a 48-42 if pushed. Bears just need to keep it close , fill the minor places, sound familiar, just hope track allows for good racing and fair refereeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Fancy Poole to win this one, Scott vs Rushen could be interesting. I'll say Poole win, but Redcar reach 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen has been out scoring Scott, in King's Lynn meetings which might be an indicator of how things will go. Re Gilkes, seems like his injury has had a big impact on him both physically and confidence wise. Recovery could take a long time to get back to form. Bowes is the better bet imo, but he appears to need some form of help, mechanical or psychologically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem the 🤡 won't listen, plenty of people offered to help at worky last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Note Redcar reserves scored 17 paid 20 at worky could be an interesting battle. I like your reserve copper a lot but this week he is extremely busy 5 meetings in 5 days including Poland today, and exam revision, just hope he doesn't burn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I think Bowes will come good in time and with Poole being strong they are able to deal with his low scores by his standards . No need for any rash moves . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for any rash moves . I tend to agree, good to hear that Fraser helped Lawson out the other day, when Richard's van broke down. It's a bit of team building, might help Bowes feel more like he fits in at Poole. These kinda things can be useful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seems that somethings not quite right for him at the moment. So if he's physically fit, bikes ok, then confidence seems highly likely. Confidence is what let's riders go at 100% after all.

As I put on the Poole 2026 thread, Fraser started the season quite well with 5+1, 6+1 and 8+1 in his first 3 meetings!!

Yes I hope so, his high score was against Scunthorpe although he did beat Pickering once. Hopefully Lawson will help him improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
