Bowes must be in borrowed time.

What can Poole do though? Bowes average is 5.05 and they are already 5.34 over the limit?

Apologies for my ignorance if I'm missing something there, just feels like there's not much they can do without changing a heat leader too?

Maybe it was a "workshop" injury?....

;)

Doesn't matter though does it?

Cooper had an off at Kings Lynn and didn't get signed off from the medics. He then missed a Poole meeting and was banned for 7 days (despite it being a speedway injury).

Peter scored 9 according to updates in Denmark.

We done Berwick it all fell into place for them tonight and they must be favourites to go through. A catalogue of silly errors, falls an inept riding from Poole tonight. But special mention to the track staff with a decent prepared track and no dust to speak of.

First of all Lawson was sorely missed. Harris was a woeful guest to be honest and made no impact. Plenty of dirt down he just played follow the leader. Made no effort to pass Bowes in heat 6 and was tailed off in his last ride.

Bowes must be in borrowed time. Kerr was unlucky to lose a chain when on a 5-1. Cook looked disinterested. Rushen overtried and cost himself and the team a few points. Cairns was solid as was Newman after bike issues in his first. But the performance was lacklustre. No intent.Ā 
Ā 

Berwick chipped away with what looked like a weak team but had a trump card at 7 with Jenkins who rode well. The others Ā ride OK but did enough to keep it close. They have to be favourites to go through.

Did well after you said it should be called off, as there wasn't many fans .Ā šŸ™‚

No pressure on Coops..šŸ™‚

Berwick favourites 😃 

Some Poole fans are really something else ...

We can do a like for like change, so we have 5 points to get another rider for Bowes.

Thanks for the reply, opens a couple of doors I guess, will be interesting to see what the Pirates do given he drops to reserve next week?

Well done to Berwick, fought hard and came away with only 4 points to claw back makes the leg on the edge and I can’t call it. Think Berwick could nick a 6-8 point win and if they go through well deserved.

We missed Lawson tonight, Bomber wasn’t great and threw some silly points away.

Bowes needs to go, he is costing his team mates and club heavily now, he isn’t fit and certainly isn’t race fit. Now is the time while still on a 5 to get a new rider in.

Matt and Danny seem to think he will turn it around, I haven’t seen anything this year to back up that thought, he looks unstable on a bike and has since the first meeting, keep him and it will cost us trophy’s. We have been spoilt in reserve so far, but once he drops there in July and scores 2 or 3 that will cost us meetings. He isn’t fit and we are going to slip up sooner rather than later and that came to fruition tonight.Ā 
Ā 

Look at some of the riders at Workington Saturday or see if Bailey will come over from July.

Poole have definitely got a better guest for Lawson than Berwick have for KildemandĀ 

Can see Poole winning this by 20

Etheridge and Jenkins got 1 between them last time at Poole and Palovaara got 8 from 6

Should be a walk in the park

Oops
