Bagpuss Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I would have thought using that criteria Jan Graversen would a better number 7 than Clegg Had Graversen not had a year out I'd probably agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 The race format suited Poole and they were able to utilise Klindt. Wolves have the weakest reserves in the league so Klindt and Shane's won't always have it as easy. Shanes apart from one race where he was superb to beat Thorssell only beat the reserves but as home debuts go it was pretty good. This Poole side will be hard to beat at home but will lose on their travels. They had every chance at Wolves with the loss of Newman not as damaging as the loss of Skornicki but failed. Holder isn't up to speed and KK can be anything. A few heavy defeats on the road for Poole but their home form should see them in the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 You always get an over reaction from the usual Poole fans its par for the courseYou never disappoint! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 You never disappoint! :Dbut it's true and it's the same people as always. One challenge match win in the old format against a side with the poorest reserves in the league. Still a lot of doubts about this Pools side away from home especially with a number 1 who when the going gets tough goes missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Clearly you wasn't at Poole last night then. He's a rejuvenated rider.. Yeah right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) ah got your knickers in a twist!!! I don't think Poole will win the league is that ok??? Am I allowed to say that??? Can I have that opinion???? So so precious down Dorset way. So because I think Kings Lynn will win it it's called predictive snipe is it!!! Do me a favour pal Oh shut up! I think it says 'Premiership Shield's on the 'trophy' and not "challenge". Four consecutive wins I'm happy with that. Perhaps it doesn't mean much to some unless your in it! We've won the Premiership Shield that's that. James Shanes was hardly a known Premiership class act pre meeting was he. Keep your sarcasm till the end of the season when all is said and done. Till then all your predictive snipe is worthless.ah got your knickers in a twist!!! I don't think Poole will win the league is that ok??? Am I allowed to say that??? Can I have that opinion???? So so precious down Dorset way. So because I think Kings Lynn will win it it's called predictive snipe is it!!! Do me a favour pal. And yes it was a shield but it's a bit like the charity shield in football.....nice to win but means nothing at all In the scheme of things. I think Poole will make the play offs with ease but I don't think they will win it. Sorry if that upsets you very strange Edited March 30, 2017 by Gavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Twicelast night when he came around for his victory lap he stopped at the start line to get the crowd going. Going to be a fans favourite. Speedway needs a lot more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He beat Thorssell which was an excellent ride, aside from that he beat Clegg and Greaves. Effectively he was racing at National League Level. Â That said, he certainly has a lot of potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Lets see how he does against Belle Vue next week with their reserves and the new format. If he scores 4-5 it will be brilliant. Â We need more young Brits coming through with fighting spirit. Seems the work Neil Vatcher has been doing is starting to pay off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Â *I misinterpreted Sid's post to be about Shanes, rather than Klindt* (sorry Sid) Â I'd have thought his credentials as the European Grasstrack Champion, and x2 British Masters Champion, show that James is capable of performing under pressure. Those are two of the highest profile events for British Grasstrack riders... You don't win those types of event against the calibre of opponent he did without some sort of challenge. In fact, when James won his European title he was having a shocking meeting and it was all going wrong, yet he knuckled down, made the final and got the job done and lifted the trophy. On the grass Shanes takes alot of beating i hope he has a great season for Poole.In Bewley,Smith,JPB ,Hume, Jenkins,Shanes we have some real hope now for the future of GB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
