Crazy robin Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 If Muddlo was any team manager then he'd have made Kyle Newman team captain as without him they are as bad as the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Well done to Wolves ,scored all the way round.Good crowd tonight , up to the levels we used to have, only down point was the racing which was largely poor. It needs to be better than that if your charging 18 quid Edited May 2, 2016 by New Science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 On our way back and well done to Wolves. Must now be clear favourites for the league after that demolition job on us. In a way good to get the mantle of favourites off our back. I knew we would lose this but not in such a pathetic way. Poole are still favourites as well you know , nothing has changed. However whilst I expected us to win nobody would have said that kind of thumping. The pirates were gating but just being outsmarted time and time again. The track proved tricky got the first 4 heats and provably just a little too loose and deep. Some Poole riders should hang their heads in shame for giving little effort as there was a good smattering of Poole fans they let down badly. Not a classic meeting by any stretch with some races well spread out. But a big bank holiday crowd will have seen just how good Wolves are this season and to thump the champions and favourites was a nice bonus. After the first 3 heats I thought we had a battle on our hands for a change however that challenge folded mid way thru, in particular giving a TR to Watt's poor replacement - how we chuckled. hope Adam is ok as that was a nasty tumble. Lovely chatting to a couple over from Brisbane and tonight was their first British track hopefully it didn't disappoint. Good friends of Darcy's dad George. WOLVES (table toppers) FRED - a decent night for Fred, although took 2 heats to warm up. 3/5 SAM - another solid night for Sam, don't expect a maximum every week but for me was one of the most underrated signings in the EL. 3.5/5 MIKKEL - either poor or decent, can see him spending time at reserve soon. Yet to really impress. 2/5 JACOB - dropped a solitary point to Hans. Quick and assured and much more dangerous in a second string role. 4.5/5 JOONAS - certainly loves exploiting the many passing lines although not as prolific paid ten is still a great score all the same. 2.5/5 MAX - mostly out his depth at this level although a great effort to hold 3rd in Heat 12 saw him lose it at the chequered flag. 1/5 KYLE - excellent night for the top reserve in the EL. Surely he will move up now after 4 matches? When? Beat Pedersen, Buczk to boot. 4.5/5 MOTM POOLE (title favourites) Holder - one race he gated and won well , the others not even bothered. A disgrace for a GP rider. 1/5 Buczkowski - put in some effort at least and won heat 1 well. 2/5 ELLIS - impressed. Very assured riding and gating in his 3 heats. Hopefully he is ok after his akward spill 3/5 Pedersen - what's the point. I'd say dreadful but that flatters him a little. 0/5 Andersen - superb. Fast and chasing when behind. A pirate with pride (a rarity tonight) 4.5/5 Kurtz - unlucky in heat 5 so would have scored more. Certainly tried although besides one heat was owned by the Wolves top reserve. 2.5/5 Kerr - was never going to do what Kyle is capable of but was beyond ordinary all the same. 0.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R87 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Well done to Wolves ,scored all the way round.Good crowd tonight , up to the levels we used to have, only down point was the racing which was largely poor. It needs to be better than that if your charging 18 quid Racing was virtually non existent. It's great that the teams winning, but that's not enough for me. I want to see some entertainment and we're not getting it at Monmore Green any more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinMills Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 still think poole will win the title,but also thought bjarne was poor replacement. he will get 10 one week for sure, in between two" and fours..holder will become interested once the play offs start..whilst he is highly in the GPs, don't expect much domestically, clear reason why british speedway in the state its in now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is and it isn't usually a problem. Doc is often there early Monday working on the track all day, that's why we have been voted best race track several times in the most recent seasons so the issue isn't the greyhounds. The 2 matches so far this season have been lacking in the usual high quality we have come to expect and I'd rather we win by 2 and have a great track than the runaway wins with minimal passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Fishing again. As an FTR, you can replace with another FTR or a lower averaged PL rider (assuming they don't have an EL average higher than him) I don't think thats true. An EDR in the reserve berth can only be replaced by another EDR (or a PL Brit with a lower average) but there nothing in the rules that says Ellis can't be replaced by any guest. Someone suggested to me but he still has "EDR status" so can only be replaced by an EDR, I counter that with he clearly has heat leader status as he was riding at #3 tonight!

junior fan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Have to feel sorry for young Clegg in the daft system, going out against the Australian champion,and two established PL riders. Already struggling for confidence and away point in the pl, hope his confidence doesnt take a battering. Junior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team has to have two FTRs - so if one is injured, he is replaced by another - surely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
