If he was content to just get on with it, why moan so much about a track that wasn't that bad, a few bumps but nowhere near as bad as at Poole and has Kylmakorpi had the serious injuries Holder has had?

Surely if your a ex world champ and seasoned professional you should be able to adapt just like the away team did, the fact that Steve Worrall was able to easily hold off Holder in one race says it all. He talks about being able to pass on tracks outside England easier but he has always been a gater so not sure that comment is relevant.

Your right to say Garrity and worrall are better than Newman but Howarth should be the best reserve in the league but seems to have gone backwards looking at mondays televised meeting, hopefully a temporary blip as i like Howarth and think he still has a lot of improvement in him. I would put worrall as the best currently and certainly always looks more in control than Garrity. Poole's track has been bumpy for a while and i seem to remember particularly bad for the gp challenge a couple of years ago but the last meeting was even worse. Don't think there is any danger of Poole missing out on the play offs. Don't think anyone takes Scottyfan's relentless pessimism seriously.

Don;t think Kyle Howarth was badly treated, Middlo even let him go out with his daughter!

You may be waiting a long time, KK seems to have found his form.

You said they were not weaker without KK therefore you inferred he would score 5 or less

But apparently according to Fred Flange the weaker argument was shot down as if KK would have scored 5 or less!!

The no.1 you refer isn't a no.1 anymore, Buckowski would have got 10 minimum on a track he would have attacked like Hans and Bjarne did. Not over optimistic just realistic.

Monday proved that the no.1 you refer to is worse than the rider he replaced and that rider isn't a no. 1 anymore. Back to his best Lindgren is a good guest and will do a good job.

Who is statman?

No we can't compensate, he is vital but hopefully he won't be missing. Riders like Tungate should not be allowed to be heat leaders, they should be restricted to second strings, it is too damaging to their confidence and takes them ages to get it back, it is too big a jump.

Trouble is Steve nobody believes us when we say he will be missed and could cost us the meeting, he is a vital cog and riding very well at the moment, added to the fact that a lot of teams are riding monday and guests could be difficult to get.

Yes i too seem to remember he had a very good season at Poole as well and everyone knows he dropped his average to ride for us as so many do. The lure of riding for Middlo must be so strong even other teams assets are so keen to ride for him they drop their average to make sure.

Is that all, i thought it was more!

So your saying a Wolves asset deliberately lowered his average to ride for Poole!!!

Skornicki was terrific for Poole, great personality and a nice guy. Say what you like about Middlo but he will always be loved at Poole,is liked and respected by a lot of riders.

I thought that was a strange remark, loved Skornicki when he rode for Poole though always gave everything great signing for us.

Totally agree this year is going to be tough for Brady and doubling up is the right thing to do at this stage in his career. He will prove to be a top rider in time.

As i said before the season started Brady should have had another year in the PL. He should have doubled up to start with or stayed PL full time, he isn't ready for full time EL yet.

To be fair Nicholls was very good value and i hope he maintains his form because we would have a chance in the world cup if he did especially when he and Cook will have home advantage.

Of course as Poole fans we are disappointed that our team isn't performing well and Chris Holder isn't at his best for us but sacking him is way over the top. We need to get behind him and support him, he will come good and as long as we get in to the play offs he will show his best i am sure. A rider that i was unsure about before the season started and i still am is Brady Kurtz, i still think we would be better off with Kasper Gomolski.

Why wasn't he allowed to do what he wanted to do? I thought they ripped the track up not that long ago to sort it out.

No i don't blame him. No hole at all, the heat leader list isn't based purely on averages is it.

I think Holders problem is he doesnt want to go all out when the track is not to his liking and risk injury. I said Buckowski would be a big miss and he was, he wouldnt have moaned about the track just got on with it.

Well done to Belle Vue on a superb win. Track was awful but same for both teams. Bjarne and Hans rode well but no one else from the home side. Belle Vue rode the track well and if Scotty rides like that in the world cup we may have a chance.
