Poole 2015

I watch Jack Holder most weeks at Plymouth.

 

His gating is dreadful. Gives away a bike length almost every time. He then has to give chase, and falls quite often too. Last Saturday v Somerset, he fell 3 times in 4 races.

 

He seems to like to dive bomb riders going into turns, and gets himself into bother. In Ht9 he clouted Josh G going into turn 3, you could hear the bang of metal on metal. He took the lead for a few yards, then chased Josh into turn 1 where he tried the same move. He ended up baulking Josh who lost position to Todd K, and then fell. I cant fault his effort, but he is getting predictable.

 

When he comes off the white line to go wide, he makes up lots of ground, only to then dive bomb and lose it all. I really wish someone was in the pits to watch and correct him. The very odd occasions he does gate, he looks very impressive.

 

You can definitely see 'big bro' Chris in his riding style. Sort out his gating and encourage him to ride different lines, he could definitely go places.

 

Of that, I have no doubt at all.

Thank god he's got Chris's style & not the other brothers😀

He's young and very inexpirienced, but nobody will be able to tell him, other than his brother....

Gomolski was brought in for a very low average. In most meetings he does his job. We can't have 7 heat leaders! If someone put a gun to my head and demanded we replace a rider then yes, it would be Gomolski, but I'm really struggling to think of who else we could bring in without losing anyone else. I'd like THJ, but we'd have to lose more than just Kacper to make that happen.

 

I genuinely believe that all things considered we still have one of the best 7 man lineups in the league. Coventry seem to be the team to beat this year and we've done that more than once with this exact lineup.

If the team can be improved and some riders arn't performing then changes are made. Sport is about winning.

Is this why some riders aren't loyal nowadays?

Going by your logic then I would say Holder has been you most underperforming rider,whereas Gomolski has overperformed but I get the feeling the Poole fans would rather see Gomolski gone :unsure:

Not me i think Gomolski is worth persevering with, don't mind a rider who tries even when he is at the back and for me Gomolski always tries. Holder was under performing but is better now.

It's all very well saying changes may need to be made, however nobody is suggesting alternative riders who are better than we already have. There's no point in changing things for changes sake and unsettling a very obvious happy bunch of riders.

 

The current 1-7 has got us to the top end of the EL and we're still one of the favourites to lift the trophy come Sept/Oct so I don't see what the issue is. I agree in an ideal world Gomolski would be scoring 7 or 8+ per meeting, however at the current stage of his career he's just not capable of doing so but he IS doing what was expected of him at the start of the season. So give the guy some slack.

 

We've already beaten Coventry quite convincingly this season (the team you're all saying is stronger than us) so what's with the panic stations??

If riders continue to under perform then changes will be made as there are alternatives who would improve the team although i am aware that certain riders have improved lately but North started the season well, seems to be trying very hard but for some reason he isn't in the form he was.

 

Personally i would leave it for now and see if they can improve and i wouldn't read anything into monday's meeting either, i would just put that down to a bad day which happens sometimes, most of them underperformed against Swindon.
