You saying he’s lost his confidence, I don’t think so.

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.

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. 

Hopefully will improve even more being partnered with Lawson at 1 and 2. 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.

Sad to see Dan not get a chance. But he’s going to be playing catch up. If he wasn’t able to start the season then I find it hard to see him getting to 110% in the next couple of months. Which is what you need to have if you are going to be a pirate. 
pressure on Bowes now to turn his form around

Yeah i dont think we can carry 2 out of the top 5 in meetings. Maybe if Bowes was getting 7/8 home and away they may have gone with Dan. But he needs to race for at least a month/6 weeks to get the confidence up and be race fit. 

Also Kyle being in 2 5'1s last week probably sealed it along with last night. Leicester are ok as they can carry him for a bit without it affecting them too much. Different for us, i dont think we have the time to give him unfortunately.

Feel sorry for Dan but we can’t have two passengers. Hope he gets fixed up in a Championship team elsewhere. Scunthorpe certainly need strengthening.

Kyle has been brilliant this season and never deserved to be dropped for a rider who hasn’t shown that he could do better. Sure Kyle will have bad meetings but all second strings do. If he just manages to keep up what he is doing everyone will be happy.

Bowes does need to start showing some improvement in his form. There’s always pressure riding for Poole and he has to show why Matt Ford signed him.

Nice few rain showers this morning then dry for the rest of the day.

Let the battle of the reserves commence....

I am confident we will win the battle of the reserves, Jody Scott has been impressive and goes well at Poole but Cooper has outperformed him for Kings Lynn so it should be a good tussle.

Can̈ really only see a Poole victory , it would need a big upsurge in form from Jordon Jenkins and (possibly J̌ason Eðwards) for Redcar to get more than̈ 40 points

Replacing Bowes for Gilkes wouldn’t make sense as it would be too big of drop in team building points. Gilkes is unlucky and hopefully he gets a chance as a pirate soon. 
 

As for Bowes he’s on borrowed time now, as soon as his avg gets close to officially being less 5.0 then I think Poole should look abroad for a replacement. Hopefully he turns his fortunes around

A battle of reserves should be close. But I think the pirates have too much fire power in the 1/3/5 positions. And Lawson and Zach in H13/15 will be too strong for Klindt and Co to live with. Lawson might be unbeatable again
