stevebrum Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 His average seems to be in freefall. No doubt he should improve his starting average but he has had 2 very poor seasons in the UK, certainly poor judging by him being in the GP's.

tony159 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Dont think Chris would be a good chose , has a lot of things to prove this year and not really sure he is a great leader and motivator. Like to give him a year first to show his true form and prove to everyone that he really has Poole at heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he should improve his starting average but he has had 2 very poor seasons in the UK, certainly poor judging by him being in the GP's. I don't agree - the last two seasons he has started off slowly in the first half of the season and improved in the second half (although didn't get to see out the second half of last season - which is why his average is lower). Remember, he started at KL on a 12+ average which was too high for Poole. If his average was in free fall,he would have had a much lower starting average and KL would have had more points to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) My take on Chris is that 99 per cent of us do not know what problems Chris has had to deal with over the last few years.For me he has been a great servant to speedway and this year hopefully people will wipe his slate clean and give him another chance.The talent the guy has is unreal and he now is back at his home Poole that he feels most comfortable at he is at the right place.I for one would love to see Chris bulldoze his way back to the top echoleon's of the sport he is capable can he do it ? we shall see.

Yes I agree with you on that so perhaps Chris has now arrived in the last chance saloon . From a Poole point of view hopefully he can turn it round as you say we shall see ?

Like i have said several times, a fit and focused Chris holder will blow away that average, and still finish top of the standings. He is more than capable of putting a big hole in the GP standings even with these young upstarts in it. I am looking forward to welcoming him back and seeing him ride, everybody knows what i think of him as a rider. even before he officially joined poole.

Arthur54 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Chris will be more settled now he is back at his spiritual home, there are a couple of Aussies in the team who are all fun guys, I'm sure there will be some good team spirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's poole at heart mate, but matt wants him to just ride his bike which is understandable.. Josh has been a captain, and we need a motivator, of the others im not sure who's got the right demeanour..

Personally I think giving the captaincy to Chris Holder would be a mistake, he has had a lot to deal with and I don't think the burden of captaincy would do him or the team any favours, Hans was a good captain and I think Josh could do just as good a job, leaving Chris to concentrate on his riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
