Crazy robin Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Shame he isn't here for the whole season , worth the entry money to watch him. We can live in hope as think Adrian must be a doubt to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not certain but due to all the other Bank Holiday meetings and other teams also requiring guests, I'm hearing it could be r/r!!I think Batch could be the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I think we should do the old switcharoo. 1) We get any old rider signed in his place (for example, Lawson). 2) He get's kitted up and ready for each race. 3) He pops to the toilet just before each race, just after the 2 minute timer starts. 4) Darcy Ward, who has been waiting in the toilets the whole time, emerges dressed in Lawsons kit. 5) Lawson waits until the race is over to once again switch places with Darcy Ward, who will return to the toilets after every race. It's flawless. Except that Darcy is in Australia!! I think Batch could be the answer. Batch did us proud in the play-offs last year but I don't think he's the answer based on his rides since his injuries - and he's guesting for AJ anyway!! R/r for Magic confirmed for Monday.

Electro Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 What are regular Poole supporters views on Holders form. Do you think it is the track or something else? Shame to see such a good rider struggling. The track is not the problem, Chris seams to have lost his confidence which isn't surprising. Felt sorry for Belle Vue as they should have won the e/f from Zagar saved poole. Belle Vue were the better side on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt sorry for Belle Vue as they should have won the e/f from Zagar saved poole. Belle Vue were the better side on the day. I disagree on this a bit as the track surely cant be helping. Granted he had a huge smash and yes his confidence has to be low. But if he is racing on a decent surface he would probably be more inclined to 'have more of a go' On the ploughed field of Wimborne Road he doesnt feel at ease on the track and will certainly not have the confidence to try anything. If he makes the gate he seems fine at Poole. if he misses it then he doesnt seem to want to mix it on a poor track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Zagar past him from the back in ht 15, made Holder look very ordinary At this present moment Zagar is a better rider than Chris but read What Troy has put in the local press about how he felt last night. His injury was nowhere near as bad as Chris's as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the track isn't helping but he is not the same rider now, could be mechanical but in my view the problem is in his head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree with you on this, in the recent best pairs meeting in Germany he was not riding like the Holder we all love to see ride, That was hard to say from a Belle Vue fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he can get sorted as he is a rider I love to see race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all want to see the real Holder back. However surely his confidence would come back quicker on a track he knows is safe and decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think we all want to see the real Holder back. However surely his confidence would come back quicker on a track he knows is safe and decent I thought he would start to move forward more quickly once he got the Bees meeting out of the way where he had his accident.

Agrotron Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Watching Holder and I would say its mechanical seems to be down on power imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Lots of post-meeting chat between Chris and Gerald Richter on the track. New shale delivered - "proper shale for proper speedway" as quoted by Richter!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Also think it is in Chris Holders head. From the few meetings I've seen, this year/end of last year (not just at Poole), he's keeping well away from the fence; where he used to excel Like others, I hope he gets back to his excellent best, as brilliant to watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Great result for aces. BUT why didn't s worrall take nielsen%s 4th ride? A point there could have been the differenceWell that's the Team Managers decision and he got it wrong Big Time. Is he up to the job as Team Manager?Is he the one who has chose the new signing because a big track rider won't do any good on a technical track like Belle Vue. As was proved when he guested against Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 He'd have had to have been taken out of his 2nd or 3rd ride. Not actually his "4th ride". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Badly worded on my part, but clearly what I meant was why didn't worrall take one of Nielsen's rides (I.e. why give Nielsen 4 rides). Same issue v Swindon last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'M pedantic!!! Pot and kettle? You seem to think that if I'm pedantic you can't be or vice-versa. We can both be pedantic you know. C'mon, you're not fooling anyone trying to claiming you're not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
