Harrison for Cook cost us massively. Plus wood in place of guest Kennett. We were never strong enough to challenge a home team dialled in to their home track.

Im sure a battered and bruised luke is grateful for your contribution to straightening his bent bike whilst guesting for you.

But Plymouth are a 6-man team. Unfortunately for them, unlike Poole, they are stuck with a No7 who can't score a point, and you lot are moaning the fact you can't use Kennett or Jenkins down at reserve. I don't know the ins and outs, but surely Plymouth have got a lower team average than Poole? If that's the case, why have they been using two lads at No7, who, not the riders' fault, but are nowhere near good enough for the 2nd division?

Hope he is ok. Some of us appreciate him taking all the guest bookings!

Haha, I don't think there is any need to panic just yet!!

Although how is 4 points being whooped! Maths lessons needed i think! Or maybe i am being too literal for the wind ups lol.

Zach originally wasn't doing Championship this season. I doubt he will be in 2027.

As for the rest of this season I'm more worried about who we can get at reserve now that averages have changed for August, and Jenkins is injured!!

Ablitt

Lambert

Hagon

Ingram 

I vote for Lambert just to annoy Steve lol. Though he not a fan of the Poole track so might not agree to guest anyway 🤷‍♀️

An appalling meeting but Plymouth can only beat what is put in front of them. One pass the whole meeting when Rushen battled past Gremek. 

A good crowd was treated to a race to the first bend. And people criticise Poole? Harrison for Cook was always a major fail. Wood was dead wood. If you didn’t gate you were stuffed.

What we can take out of it is that even a weakened Poole team can run a team close away from home and will win over two legs.

But being fair, well done Plymouth. Did their job. I have no gripe towards them. 

 


 

 

Someone on the Plymouth Facebook said Poole fans were treated to some proper speedway, loads of overtaking

2 poor pirate performances on the spin, couldn't beat half a team last night and whooped by a bang out of form side tonight . 

Keeps the averages down for year though. The promotion ARE NOT stupid, no point blasting teams every meeting to have the seven broken apart next year.

No but in 10 home meetings this season only TWO sides have visited with a full 1-7…… what goes around come around … Poole even rode Oxford last night who were missing 2 heat leaders

When you went to Edinburgh they had no Dan T

Tonight Harrison scoring what Cook usually does and please don’t count Bowes is a 5 point reserve lol … Wood with 3 plus 1 doing as well as Bowes would 

I'm glad someone has said that 👏

If that's keeping averages down then Poole are shockingly bad at it.

Lawson, Cairns, Newman and Kerr basically rode to their average, 4 from four will cause only a small drop in Rushen's average, and Harrison/Ward are irrelevant.

If a team is dropping averages they will be going for narrow wins and the occasional big defeat, not narrow defeats.
