waiheke1 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just the injuries! Not sacking Kyle Newman, or replacing KK with Kennett!Tbf with Newman they replaced a rider averaging 3.5 with one who has averaged 6, albeit from the easier reserve berth. kK being rubbish all season plus the injury to Kurtz are the 2 big issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Sorry i disagree with you. Kyle got injured on the 3rd lap of Darcys meeting, he didn't even complete a race. KK was a waste of space from day one. So you admit your number one was crap from day one...............yet it was injuries that have cost you.......you are something else. Find me another Poole fan (apart from Shovlar and Gater1) who think its injuries who have cost Poole........you wont! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think injuries to Kurtz and Klindt and Newman have certainly undeniably affected Poole's season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I think injuries to Kurtz and Klindt and Newman have certainly undeniably affected Poole's season.Yeah, I'd agree with is as riders constantly coming in and out of the team can upset the balance. Better to have same 7 for a period of time, although with injuries you have no choice. I think Klindt being injured has the most impact as apparently he was really good in the pits with the boys helping out etc. With him out, there not sure there's as much team spirit? Get the impression the boys just do their own thing.. Edited August 14, 2017 by lisa-colette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 For team spirit read 'extra incentive' so perhaps Ford's pockets are no longer deep enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think injuries to Kurtz and Klindt and Newman have certainly undeniably affected Poole's season. But the loss of Newman had no effect on Pooles season...you got in Kerr who did well that Poole fans wanted him kept on, and then you got Starke in who has done as well as both. You beat teams like Wolves and Leicester without Klindt , and then with him you lost Belle Vue so again didnt make a drastic difference. Of course the loss of Kurtz has been huge but due you honestly think Poole would be higher or in with a chance of the league if he had been riding?? As ive said Swindon have had no Doyle and now Zach as well. Wolves have lost Lindgren, Riss and Masters, Belle Vue now having to make do with no Fricke All teams get injuries but they havent cost Poole the league in any way. Having an awful number one scoring between 4-7 a meeting and then replacing him with a failed number one who wont do any better is why Poole are in the trouble they are.

waiheke1 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 The main issue for Poole is KK scoring basically half of what he was expected to. The next biggest issue was injury to Kurtz, with his replacement averaging over 2 points less (before factoring in the impact on ht15 as well). The loss of Klindt has been an issue as Lahti has proved a poor replacement, a couple of points less than Klindt would have done. New mans injury meant he was scoring a couple of points less than you would expect, I don't think Kerr quite matched the level Poole fans would have hoped for, but starke probably has. I'd say this one has had minimal impact on pooles season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Plus Andersen is not the rider he was. Maybe not but i think Hans is one of the riders that has done his job, second heat leader , not a number one now. Trouble was he was supposed to be back up for KK, not back up for Kurtz, so in effect Poole havent had a third heat leader all season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Agreed. Kurtz and Shanes have arguably over performed. Andersen Holder and Klindt performed as expected. KK and Newman scored slightly more than half what they would have been expected to achieve, and that combined with injuries and the fact that Poole for once have been unable to come up with good replacements (in terms of injury replacement for Kurtz and KK, and "permanent" replacements for kK and Klindt) has meant they've gone from favourites to struggling to make top 4.
