The 0 at Coventry has obvious reasoning 3+1 @ Lakeside, many of heatleaders have done similar or worse So is really 1 poor performance at home from his previous 6 Poole matches prior to the playoffs bad form? Not for me

Just checked Dakota's last 6 Poole matches prior to the playoff 8+2 @ Leicester 3+1 @ Poole 3+1 @ Lakeside 10+2 paid max @ Poole 8+1 @ Poole 10+2 @ Belle Vue Lakeside is a tricky place to go anyway so his bad form is 1 home meeting, Coventry fans talking b0!!0x to justify their apparent "unjust". Your whinging is getting horrendous. As thecoombdog also says, your trying to deflect the blame away from your own clubs failings.

This thread is hilarious and not in a good way. I don't see the issue with North taking time out, we all react differently to bad news. Having a round of golf with a mate is kind of what mattress should do isn't it rather than turning yourself inside out with worry. I know if a mate was struggling the first thing I'd do is get them out and about. The reaction on here has been nothing but pathetic. If Coventry lose its because their riders haven't stepped up. Poole could have Sayfutdinov as guest but that's irrelevant. It's all about the mentality of the riders you've got. Harris, King & Andersen can beat all of Poole's top 5. Sargent can beat all of Poole's reserves. On a good day Howarth can mix it. Coventry need tomorrow to be a good day. The lose of Garrity is more pivotal than Poole bringing in Kennett. It's fookin Kennett for goodness sake Fingers crossed we actually see a cracking meeting and none of this BS and best wishes to both North and Garrity.

Am hearing that Buster was involved in an accident / collision during the F1 World Finals at the AFA? Any idea as to whether he's ok?

We are but in truth it would be a disaster if we lost Iversen. You do need that cool calm & collected no'1. It's not very often a heart on his sleeve rider ever tops the averages. What's required next season is a passionate middle order, that's where we proved to be a little bit too nice in 2015. If we were to be very realistic I think Rob & Buster will already have 4 riders from 2015 signed up. 1. Iversen 2. ??? 3. Lambert 4. ??? 5. Schlein 6. Kerr 7. ??? What we need at 2 & 4 are riders that will fight for their lives and put everything on the line and I don't think you can look past any combination of Aussies. I'd even look at someone like Ben Barker. Nobody has to like them but bloody hell we'll be sure to see 100% every week. That's exactly what we need

Well I enjoyed that tonight. The racing wasn't always top draw stuff but the toing & froing of the scores kept me glued

Looks like Vetlanda are gonna do this with comfort

Just watch the playoffs for the "racing". Wouldn't dream of nailing myself to another teams colours

I seem to remember you saying the Belle Vue playoff was a good meeting and now you're saying this was poor?!?!

Why not call it SGP16 if that's the year of release? The 2016 line-up will be known by then so the game will already be outdated!!!

He was talking about ashtree123 who is always on the defence when it comes to the Lambert's

Yes, he will just keep getting better if he stays injury free. Has beaten some good riders over the season, just needs to build on his consistency. Wherever he ends up in 2016, someone will have a trip card as a 2nd tier rider

Agree about Rory, he'll be a top team manager. Over the last 2 seasons he hasn't been frightened to lay into his under performing team mates, even if he was having a crap one himself I hope his racing days ain't done yet though.

Don't you agree that these are the type of rider's the club is missing though? Nobody wins through being nice

I know it's over so I've checked the averages and got Doyle Tungate North Fisher Pedersen Kerr Stokes

Agree

Absolutely the point. Ok, that's not likely to be the team, probably way over the limit but that's the type of riders we need next season. We've been a team that's too nice and too fair and that goes for the management also. We need some nasty barstoods in the team to liven things up. Most of the season rider of the night would be Lambert because he'd be the only one to really lay it on the line and make passing moves while the others struggled. We need more of that and Porsing Bjerre don't offer that. Every team needs 2-3 hard riders that give everything. We got found out when running R/R because having Bjerre & Porsing covering those rides you just never felt confident they could step up. That's worse than the current team for me. Andersen and Lindgren (although performed well as a guest) have been abysmal this season. Andersen = Bjerre. Michelsen I've not been overly impressed by. Iversen Porsing Andersen - Bjerre Michelsen - Lambert Lindgren - Schlein I just don't see an improvement

Very enjoyable meeting but still disappointing that one of our better meetings racing wise had to be the last one. Pleased to hear Buster take the teams failings on himself and made it quite clear things will be very different in 2016, already talking to riders. This is good news but more importantly, said him and Rob will be more proactive next season if things don't go to plan. Promising words that need to be delivered upon. Important for me, on the team sheet next season are 1 or 2 ruthless rider's, real racer's, hard racer's

The thing that puts the National Stadium down for me is that it's being built in the rain capital of Great Britain. You only have to see the amount of call off's Belle Vue have to deal with. Now add in the SWC, British Finals etc and it could become a bit of a laughing stock

Was he ever even here in the first place so he's kind of excluded

Is gonna be a pointless exercise or butt hole clencher to make the playoffs? Either way it's our last league meeting of 2015 so fingers crossed no riders are missing, weather plays ball and it's worth the admission.

How will we achieve 2 points at home? 1 for a draw and 3 for a win is all that's on offer.

No chance of beating Poole and Swindon will demolish us at home with Killer on show. He loves our place and he's great to watch

That means what exactly?
