mikebv Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Let's hope so as that will give KL every chance of getting the last playoff spot Let's hope not... Due to the 'monsoon season' that Norfolk (or a specific part of it anyway) seems to be experiencing, the season won't finish till December....!

flagrag Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Don't forget that other teams may be making changes today or tomorrow before the cut off so may be a rider coming in from another club to Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) From sgp site. Poole owner Matt Ford is ready to make a last-ditch dive into the transfer market today in a bid to save Pirates SGB Premiership season after admitting his current stars are just not good enough. Ford was left fuming after seeing his side slump to a fourth straight home defeat going down 45-44 against near neighbours Somerset. Despite 12 paid 14 points from Richie Worrall and victory for the GB ace in the last-heat decider, Danish star Hans Andersen was relegated to the back by Richard Lawson and Josh Grajczonek as Rebels sealed a famous win. Clubs have until Thursday night to make any final signings ahead of the play-offs in the autumn and Ford is ready to make a final attempt to strengthen the Dorset clubs flagging fortunes. YOU NEVER KNOW; SOMETIMES 24 HOURS CAN BE A LONG TIME IN SPEEDWAY. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SOMEONE WILL SEE OUR RESULT TONIGHT AND THINK HEY, I CAN DO A JOB FOR YOU. Matt Ford But with Polish Ekstraliga riders limited to competing in just two other leagues, he admits drafting in suitable replacements is proving a tough task. He said: Its difficult. Riders are stuck into contracts and its very difficult to get people to come and ride. To be honest, I dont know what weve got to lose. The cut-off date is Thursday night and I dont know if I can pull anything out of the hat by then. Ill have to see what Im doing tomorrow. If we get the option to bring in someone, even this late in the day, I may still do it. The problem is no-one wants to come. Theres no magic wand to be waved. No-one wants to come to British speedway. I can tell you I have spoken to them all. None of them want to come. But you never know; sometimes 24 hours can be a long time in speedway. Maybe, just maybe, someone will see our result tonight and think hey, I can do a job for you. Ford stepped in as Pirates team manager in place of the unavailable Neil Middleditch and didnt hold back in his assessment of another woeful performance from his side. Riders have expressed concerns about the Poole track in recent weeks. But with conditions appearing better on Wednesday night, Ford believes his stars only have themselves to blame. He said: I wish riders that keep getting beaten would stop making excuses about tracks; theyre just not good enough. Its as simple as that. Its laughable to keep hearing about track conditions. Its the same for both teams and they have been beaten by the team that are second from bottom. Theyre supposed to be superstars, some of them. If were to have any aspirations of making the play-offs I cant see it happening with this team if Im honest. They are killing us at the moment. Its unacceptable. What its doing is its making me realise that many of this septet will not be representing the club next year. If theyre getting beaten by others, I clearly need to sign those guys, not the ones I have riding for me. Were not good enough at the top and those guys have to accept it. They have to look at whos beating them. If Im wrong, tell me just show me on the track and win the races. Thats the only job I ask of a rider is to win races and score points. I do my job theyre paid quicker than any other team in speedway. If it was earlier in the season, they would be riding for their team places. But the truth is were stuck with many of them and thats it. Well just have to see where we go from here.

TheRealFiend Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) MF is a legend. Love every word of his article. They arent good enough and were stuck with them. I would personally make a double change today. Doesn't matter about upsetting the riders. Both Gomolski and THJ have said they want to ride in Britain Lahti I am not going to criticise because it was out of order sticking him at 5 last night.

hyabb17 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 You would really get rid of Jack Holder....that's crazy. MF is a legend. Love every word of his article.

TheRealFiend Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) You would really get rid of Jack Holder....that's crazy. Not because of form or anything. Just down to numbers. Hans - 100% deserves to stay Brady - Defo coming back Kennett - Defo staying (Only just been signed) Shanes - Nobody that's better on a 2.?? something average. R. Worrall - Defo leaving for Brady Which leaves 3 riders and they are J. Holder, Lahti and Starke Edited July 27, 2017 by Gater1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersub Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Holder seems to have lost his form for whatever reason & Lahti, albeit not had a lot of opportunity, does not look comfortable. I don't know how averages fit but Gomolski & THJ may fit the bill to gain us 4th place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't know how averages fit but Gomolski & THJ may fit the bill to gain us 4th place They don't fit. Grondal and Baran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFiend Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 How about Gomolski and Mitchell Davey for Lahti and Starke? 1. Andersen 2. J. Holder 3. Kennett 4. Gomolski 5. B. Kurtz 6. Davey 7. Shanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
