BobC Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 KK to go along with James Surely soYesterday,James was spinning far too much.You could hear his engines screaming but not pulling him forward. Surely someone in the pits could help him? Im no expert, but I do notice when a bike doesnt sound right.Think back to Lee Richardson at Poole. He couldnt buy a point.John Davis helped him with set ups, starting techniques and first turns etc. Look how he progressed. I dont want James to go,but if he does Id like Joe Jacobs. However its more about who you get in at the top as the main priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Andersen a few seasons ago. He got paid around £2K per meeting, but had to finance all his own travel arrangements, van, mechanic etc. I was hugely disappointed with KK yesterday. Not seen him ride this season until today and was, Im sorry to say, not even in his own shadow. Constantly fiddling with his set up cant be good. Maybe too much? I am beginning to think his time is up at Poole. Shame as Ive liked him since he first rode for us back in 2003. Lots of unanswered questions for Poole right now. I doubt there wasn't a Poole fan there last night who wasn't dissapointed with KK. He's a far far better rider than that, but whats matts options ?

ray c Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Trouble with James he should also be riding in the lower league but other commitments stops him from doing this. I would think Matt's opinion is pretty obvious not happy with the situation !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Matt's opinion is pretty obvious not happy with the situation !! Matt will hate this. I think James will stay for now could see it change when averages drop and we can somehow fit Kerr into the number 7 role with a big hitter at 1. If we can't get a GP star. Then it has to be Shamek or Leon Madsen for me best options out there. Another I thought of was GKM Laguta Brother. Very good rider but would he want to do England???

Halifaxtiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Keeping Kerr is one option! If you saw Kerr & Nielsen on Sunday at Scunthorpe there would only be one choice. Unlike most Poole riders, Nielsen can beat Nick Morris. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 No good looking to Janowski his form is as bad as KKs. Same applies to Lindback. Options like Milik or Madsen not likely to happen as they don't need the extra meetings. Not easy at all to find a big hittervwilling to come over at short notice.

I like Stefan a lot. The only real bright light at Plymouth last season. Amazed he hasnt got a place in this League for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Pirate Blue Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Highly disappointing display from the Pirates yesterday. It's been a reoccurring trend this year that we are getting slaughtered out of the start, and with the track being pretty slick most weeks, we're getting punished for it. It also seemed like the late afternoon downpour really caught the Poole riders off-guard, albeit no real excuse as all the riders were facing the same conditions. As the wet layer went, and the dust clouds returned, they started to get it together, but it was too late. KK continues to be a major let-down, especially considering some of his performances at Wimborne Road lasts season when he passed Chris Holder from behind several times. He really should be averaging 9+ with ease in this league. Difficulty is replacing him, especially as all the others are hard to drop, so it almost HAS to be a like-for-like swap, and who is there!!?? Shanes is the obvious candidate to go with him if we strengthen at the bottom instead, but that would be pretty ruthless IMO. Everyone knew at the start of the year it would be a tough learning curve for Shanes and I think it would be a short-sighted move to drop him. I'd rather play a role in developing a talented youngster like Shanes than bringing in a less No.1 and keeping Kerr personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason.C Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Can't believe people are calling for shanes to go too, he's a rookie and we all knew he wouldn't pull up tree's. The lad needs to learn and I'd be extremely disappointed to see him go because kk can't pull his finger out. You can see by his riding he puts his all into it for Poole. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best performances have been when he has been a team's second or third heat leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightime Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I was in the pits last night when Hans told Kristoff it was time to get ready - he didn't appear that keen to be honest and in my opinion that showed on the track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Baz Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 With all this talk of replacing Shanes am I correct in thinking that it was one of the 'rules' this season that each team had to have a 3 pointer or below that was British and came up through that National League? If that is so we can't replace KK and James with two 6 pointers. I so get easily confused with Speedway rules and regulations though. It is 2018 isn't it?

foreverblue Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Personally wouldn't get rid of Shanes, he has done pretty well, probably needs to be in a NL team to get his confidence up but i would stick with him but KK has to go, he has never let us down before but he is now.
