Poole v Wolves. Prem B. 5/9/18

[Bald Bloke]

I think Kurtz is an average thing if i'm honest. Was there much passing?

[Gavan]

Kurtz has been poor all season apart from 1 or 2 meetings 

Richie Worrall rider of the night lol. Signed to replace a heat leader and now at reserve. Gets beat by a national league rider in heat 2, passes a hardly bothered Morris a couple of times and he is lauded. 8 from reserve against poor reserves.....won’t be as easy against Allen and Summers. 

Rider of the night clearly Josh G doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work that out. 

Worrall and Woryna scores 13 between them tonight 

With Woryna at reserve at home they have scored 18,14,17 and 22 against good opposition. 

They rode against poor reserves and weak second strings tonight and still couldn’t match what they have been. Worrall only getting 8 from reserve he will need to step up when Somerset come to town.

Nice to see a match report ..... oh Poole won

Possibly you are right. His average will make him quite attractive, but Bomber would be first on my list.

Age is what I would say.

Think bomber will definitely be back next year.

An entertaining meeting tonight played out in front of a good crowd. Poole completely dominant but some very good races once the outside line appeared. 

Rider of the night was Richie Worrall imo who produced some superb moves from the back, the best on Nick Morris who didn’t know what hit him. Deserved heat 15 ride when it was all done and dusted.

Josh also on excellent form with a paid max. Deserved heat 15 but gave it up to Richie.

So now the regular season is finished who fancies Pirates in the semi? Guess it will be Somerset with the first leg at the Oak tree. 

For Poole.

Kurtz was poor. A third followed by an ef is not good enough. He won his next before he kept getting in Harris way in heat 13 blocking bombers move on Masters. We know he is a lot better than this.

Josh G was faultless. A far cry from early season.

Klindt penalised himself in his first by jumping at the gate. After that was solid.

Woryna scored in every heat. Not his best but solid.

Harris was very good value.

Worrall had his best meeting for a while. Two excellent passes.

Jakobsen was very good value. Fell asleep in one allowing Thorsell through.

For Wolves.

Masters started poorly in his first three but turned it around with three fast gates. 

Howarth was poor by his usual Wimborne Road standards

Andersen struggled on his first visit.

Nick Morris won his first then was overtaken in two of his other rides.

Ashley Morris struggled.

Ayres suprisingly won heat 2 when he gated and rode sensibly to hold off the Poole boys. That was it from him.

 

Loads more for Poole to do. Lots of improvement there. But tonight Kurtz misfired while the rest were getting on it. We need all 7 to click together to progress to the final. Haven’t done it much this season so it’s now or never.

On another note, Luke Becker was being shown around Wimborne Road by Gordon Pairman. Left after the meeting so not sure if he went out and took a spin. At the interval he went out on the track and was kicking around the starting gate.

No Becker didnt have a spin Steve..

Poole again win a meeting where their reserves hugely outscore the opposing reserves , unfortunately Somerset have decent reserves so will be tricky.

Kurtz will ultimately cost Poole any chance of the league and Woryna unable to buy a win when he moves up. 

Josh showing a bit of form but can’t see Somerset overly worried heats 13 and 15 could be 10-2 in both matches! 

Reserves win meetings Gavan..

[Bald Bloke]

Having a very strong reserve at all times is as good as having a top number one.As Poole know

So what, now we have neither? Is that what you're trying to say?

Pooles reserves all season have won them meetings as they regularly have smashed the opposing teams bottom 2...... apart from the meetings against Somerset 

Richie Worrall should easily be capable of double figures against a side , like Wolves , who have poor reserves. Woryna at reserve was cleaning up. The switch between those 2 positions have weakened Poole.

Reserves can win meetings but so it can big hitters and Poole don’t have one. 

Harris will be Harris 9-12 a meeting.

Josh was excellent tonight but could easily get 5 next meeting 

I was wrong about Klindt he has done really well since signing

Woryna only got 5 tonight and if he does that against Somerset and Worrall can’t beat Allen and Summers then Poole lose simple as that

Well your weaker at reserve now for sure. 

Bur basically it’s no good having a reserve get 12 if your number one keeps getting 5 or 6 they cancel each other out

Your telling me something i already know...  There will be a lot more to it you just worry about your lot eh..

[Sidney the robin]

Can this side go up a couple of gears and win the whole thing?? it has the potential to do it  but i cant see it the side is to flakey.Somerset and King's Lynn look more solid and the most worrying thing for me is that in the last couple of week's  Poole's reserves have lost to 2 NL riders in Brennan/ Ayres.

[foreverblue]

If Brady doesn't up his level for the playoffs we are stuffed but we all know he can do it. He was crap at Kings Lynn but came out and beat Robert Lambert in a race so there is hope. The rest of the team are all doing their job. 

[ray c]

credit to sam masters in heat 13 and15 he held the lead the whole 4 laps two excellent races to finish the meeting off

As expected the table doesn't lie.

One wolves 'fan' was so so so excited back in April about them being 'table toppers' (lol!), their season has fallen apart like a cheap suit (surely cheap team?) and it has finished almost exactly how I predicted back in November!

Ironically the fan incessantly trolling my posts meant my advice to sign an 'old favourite like Howe' was missed and with it any chance (apart from injuries) of not finishing bottom had gone.

#I♡karma

I don't remember any Wolves fan getting over excited at their teams league position in April! Trolls - ha!

[SteveLyric2]

So the 'plan' finally reaches fruition (hopefully not too late) with Bomber taking over the number 1 spot from October 1st - the semifinal 2nd leg! and the opportunity to mix-up the riding order.  Yes I know the argument that Bomber isn't a number 1 anymore, but thats not the point. He will do as good a job if not better than Brady whilst taking the pressure off Brady's shoulders.  If we can just manage to keep it tight on 17th then who knows.

As for having weaker reserves with Richie and Freddy - give me paid 19 every week and that'll do me.

 

ps. Good to see some more dirt on the track last night.

That’s the point though..... last night up against Morris and Ayres isn’t going to be the same as up against Allen and Summers. The reserves will be closer meaning riders like Kurtz and Woryna need to come to the party

Last time against a weakened Somerset Pooles reserves were paid for 26 yet you only won by 6.
