An England V Australia match mid season would be so one sided and not a spectacle Doyle Kurtz Holder Fricke Holder Masters Pickering Douglas Tungate Bewley Woffinden Ellis King Lawson Brennan Harris

Love affair lol Better rider than Ellis and Rew (currently) Last season as heat leader you would minimum expect 4 second places …. Now he has 2 heat leaders in 3 of his races …. His scoring will go down because of that as I showed ….. thing is some fans will say he should score more at 2 than at 3….. it won’t or shouldn’t happen

Just hoping the fans get behind Danny as I feel it will be tough for him riding at 2 but the expectations should be lower For example Home To Belle Vue Heat 1…. Doyle Kurtz King Cook Heat 6… Doyle Bewley King Zischke Heat 8… King Cook Jenkins Mulford Heat 10 Doyle Lidsey King Blodorn Thats 6 points for Danny and doing his job… yes he could beat Lidsey but he could be beaten by Cook or Blodorn I hope true fans realise that he will have tough races at 2 and 6 or 7 points is fine not the 10 or 11 people expect

Poole have lost Cook Brennan Foord and Hagon … replaced by Rowe Kerr Starke and a 2 pointer Yes they had to lose points but that’s a big downgrade of rider

Redcar have the strongest top 3 in the league followed by Glasgow and then Poole Redcar though don’t have a heatleader who is going to improve …. Glasgow have Thompson and Poole possibly have Zach Cook Redcar and Glasgow have strengthened and Poole haven’t and are weaker only because they lost 2 top riders Therefore I’m going Glasgow and Redcar final

But not as strong as Harris Howarth and Thompson

Poole don’t often get team building wrong They had to lose points but to replace Cook and Brennan with Rowe and Kerr is a huge drop off To then build a point under the limit would be incredible mismanagement surely Maybe they let Foord go because of the baggage he brings?? And it seems a lot of people are glossing over Cairns and what he might do …. No guarantee he will smash in big scores but will be better than most 2 pointers … but he might not set the world on fire immediately Im sure Poole will get it right they often do but at the moment things don’t look good

Well losing Brennan and Cook for Kerr and Rowe makes the pirates look much weaker than last season ….. I know points had to be lost but that is a lot weaker…. Although wild getting rid of a decent points scorer in Foord could hurt them Can see changes at Poole through the season

Ipswich Belle Vue Oxford Sheffield Birmingham Leicester Kings Lynn

Whatever Poole do the side will be much weaker Losing Cook and Brennan who if riding on championship this coming season would possibly be the highest averages in the league and replacing them with Rowe and Kerr is a much much weaker option although I like Rowe as a rider Big season for Zach Cook who hasn’t really progressed that much No idea why Foord was let go … yes he is reckless and at times dangerous but he scored well and can only surely get better . Poole promotion usually get it right but this is as tough a team to build this season

Seems a crazy decision to let Foord go on that average … Poole fans see him as the next big thing so why let him go? There is definite ‘baggage’ with Foord maybe that was the reason

So you think 5 out of your top 6 will improve their averages? Tall order

Yes 11 races at Lynn Emil got beat once which was by Kvech….. although Kvech was beaten twice by Emil and Rew and King and once by Thompson Good rider Kvech is no question but I still think the side is average …. Solid but average ….. though with the teams Lynn have had recently this one looks pretty good compared to those …. Big reliance on Iversen and Klindt for me as they will need to cover the weakness of the top 3

Average side with 2 second strings riding at 1 and 5 Might get in the play offs but at the tail end of a meeting with Doyle Emil Bewley Kurtz Holder and Tai they will be found wanting

Well speedway has just gone full on Mickey Mouse with this decision Irrelevant that it’s Poole it’s a cup competition for the top league and the top league only Basically it will be a Poole select side ….. as an Ipswich fan I don’t want Tom representing Poole and risking injury and not would whichever club Ben Cook rides for Absolute farce of a decision
