Gavan Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m struggling to see the positives for Poole Best rider was a reserve who isn’t at the club long A number one who is riding like a third heat leader The 2 poles plodding along with 6 a meeting Josh woefully out of form Unless you mean Linus who you all want sacked. A very poorly put together 1-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadful team manager who is scared to pull riders from heats, so he doesn't upset them. Or he just doesn't know the rules, which wouldn't surprise me either. Giving Clegg four rides says it all. Sounds like Rye threw it away. Three riders not beating an opponent is pathetic. Kennett is taking the piss at the moment & needs to be shown the door if this carries on. Poole are fiddling at the moment so a good score line for them with a close win. Really can not understand it at all seems we really didn't want to win tonight . Many Poole fans around me were laughing at our lack of the t/r - fail to understand why it as not used!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His scoring has been excellent after his debut meeting at Swindon when he was too hyped up. Tonight and at Rye House he has been excellent. And guess what? He was there for any club to snaffle up. And on a low average which he is making mince meat out of. 6 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: As much as Shanes is popular at Poole, Nielsen has come in and is a far, far more accomplished rider.

After all the changes in the last two years Ford had to get something right Nielsen when he is in the top five he will often only be getting three rides he will find it very hard in the top five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 And why not move him on, as it's meant to be a sport, which means it's about winning, or at least trying to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 But surely it's a sport, and the biggest part of sport is the winning? Or is it not really a sport? I do a couple of sports and i have one aim, and that's to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 There’s winning and then there is putting riders out of a job. Read Justin Sedgman’s article in the SS this week, he loses a team place and his visa to ride in the UK. Those riders might not then be around and UK Speedway is even further up what’s it creek!

Most sport at the top level is professional and it means more when money is involved. Like any job if you don't perform you get the sack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, once riders leave the pits its out of his, team managers hands. Same as when a trainer gives a jock instructions in the parade ring, once the jock leaves the parade ring for the course its out of the trainers hands. Anything can go wrong over 4 laps, or in a big field of handicappers if you dont get a run. You should know that. End of the day its all about winning.

A managers job is to get his team motivated and ready, maybe Middlo has lost the dressing room as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
