g13webb Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I have every confidence KK will produce the goods next season and there is no other rider on his average or below that i would want, all clubs have their favourites and he has always been a favourite at Poole. Personally i have never seen him disinterested riding for Poole, he will get many maximum scores next season In the last 6yrs I have seen NKI ride many times. During that period he has shown to me, and everyone else, that he is the ultimate professional. Immaculately turned out, always on time , and tries to win every race. I find it very difficult to think of a meeting he didn't try to win. Now it is he who I judge other riders by. Over the same period , I to have seen KK ride on many occasions , Sometime he is amazing and others he is useless. I am in no doubt of his ability as he has shown many times, but I also feel when the chips are down I wouldn't want to have to rely on him to survive. He appears a very moody rider, troubled probably, why is this inconsistency so evident??? Why has he let the clubs down he rides for? Why hasn't he got the reliability has other top riders???? Over the last 6 yrs NKI has out shone KK every year, that's not to say KK is not as fast , just that he has never had that consistency. I hope KK comes good , but I can't help in thinking he'll let you down. Fingers crossed..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 KK will, injury permitting, be a top signing for Poole. It will be a toss up between him and Doyle for top spot in the final averages. Willing to bet he will average more than Holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I remember KK coming to Lynn two or three years ago, he trailed in a poor last in his first two heats, not gating and giving up somewhere on lap three both times. Then he won his last three rides by quarter of a lap, blowing everyone away including Puk twice. To me that sums him up in a nutshell, if he can be bothered he'll be a brilliant signing but it's as always a massive if. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but last season at Kings Lynn KK's first meeting got a max and second meeting got 11 beating Iversen in heat 15, Holder last season got max in the second meeting when Kings Lynn had Danny King guesting for Iversen and got 5 in the first meeting not winning a race. Also when KK guested for Poole at home he got a max. Obviously his average tells you that he didnt do that all the time he had some bad ones but they were probably at Wolves where he is notoriously bad but Holder hates the Wolves track too. I think he did have a bad one at Poole once when riding for Coventry but had a bad crash in that meeting so understandable.

In fact very few are. Ward prior to his injury was another consistent scorer. Lindgren had a period of 3 or 4 years as top man in this league but like so many of his class counterparts find consistency in the current race format hard to maintain. AJ is another that has thrived under the race format we have had for a few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Personally I am glad KK has been given a chance. I hope people are comparing the team to other teams rather than past seasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 No issue with KK as a signing with these points limits. But its funny to read the stuff from certain Poole fans who keep saying ' he rides better for Poole' (statistics disprove this) and that he wont go missing like he does. KK has a history of being very very average in some meetings , to the point of being useless. When he is up for it he can be superb, but its rubbish to say that just because he has signed for Poole he wont be like that anymore.

He definitely has to be settled at a club to do well and I don't remember many commitment issues when in the Poole team in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not commitment thats the issue, its wether he can be bothered some meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not commitment thats the issue, its wether he can be bothered some meetings. I know what many have said about his attitude but i believe we won't see that next season, Holder had a few bad meetings last season, most riders do but you can be sure KK won't be found wanting in the important meetings like the play offs.

Fourentee Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 you can be sure KK won't be found wanting in the important meetings like the play offs. I appreciate history is on your side here -- when did Poole last fail to make the play-offs, 2009? -- but is not that a tad presumptuous?

stevebrum Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Disagree much rather have KK, Lindgren average tells you Lindgren is hardly any better than Hans Andersen let alone KK. Depends what averages you use. Speedway Star has this year's averages as Hans 8.04, Freddie 8.36, and KK 8.51. So little more than half a point between all 3. Feed is closer in average to KK than Hans. For me when averages are that close it's what they bring to the table team wise. I'd have Fred over both from a Wolves perspective and for upping their game when it matters. Anyway Poole fans seem happy with the KK signing so it's only now on our own perspectives.
