Supersub Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 You may be riight about Brady but IF & its. A big If CH hits form there could be a 5 rider challenge for the No 1 spot, yes Woyrina may be one of them although the least least likey I admit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the teams declared top riders I can only see Rye House and Belle Vue who have a worse top rider - i.e. number one - than us. This is compounded even further when you take Jacob's away form into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway star has him listed as 6th best away average, ahead of Andersen, bjerre, Harris, Schlein, Holder, Masters, Fricke, Kurtz, Batchelor, Nicholls, Lambert, King. This supposed poor away form is a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither rode as a number one in 2017 and Thorssell finished with a higher average as both 2nd in averages. The only plus in Cook's case is he rode mostly in a traditional heat leader role.

Col Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Holders 2015 average for Poole was pretty much on a par with what he achieved with Kings Lynn last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 See that Matt Ford in todays Echo has offered the number 7 berth to James Shanes. If Shanes says no Josh Pickering will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shanes says no Josh Pickering will fit. I think James would be a fool not to take it. Improved terms two nights of speedway way will certainly benifit him and make him as better rider. Should he say no, which would suprise me, Josh would be an able replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Matt will wait for the Echo to get the Chelsea v AFC match preview and report out of the way (Weds/Thurs) before announcing Shanes!!

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Perhaps Matt is just ensuring that the demands Shanes makes are realistic by putting it out there that other options are still available.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 interesting that some poole fans believe our eventual no1 could possibly be anyone of 5,so how about szczepaniak gets a great run of scores at reserve (not impossible) and moves into the 1-5,who do we think will be the new reserve? woryna,josh or holder perhaps.would only make the team stronger but could dent an ego! or do we think paniak will be reserve all season,wont be his plan as presumably he will want the extra points money a top 5 place would bring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
