Both ride like heat leaders around Wimborne Road. They would probably win both legs. So Poole who were favourites before a wheel was turned....still favourites in July........and will probably end up top......are the 3rd best side in the play offs lol...nice spin Just goes to show how badly the Poole management or promotion have been this season.......their eyes must have been off the boil completely Ok NBJ is now injured but to replace him with Wells.......... R/R for Worrall has worked fine all season although i understand the need to have 7 riders When Poole finally decide they need 7 riders they bring in a total journeyman in THJ and then see their free scoring reserve move to number 2 thus preventing im from having a full quota of rides. If the Poole promotion wanted 7 riders why not replace Worrall much sooner And then why they do they muck the team up so badly that they are no longer considered favourites................. Poole usually are the first ones to make correct changes ..this season the have it badly badly wrong and have in all liklihood stopped Poole from winning the league And now because they might take on Swindon on the semis they are throwing in the towel ..............

Who is 'throwing in the towel' exactly? Just for your info, at the time NBJ was replaced he was ill - doubled up in stomach pain in the pits in actual fact - and after an initial check in hospital thought he would have to have an operation! However when he flew back to Denmark his specialist there said it wasn't needed and he just needed rest. By this time Wells had become available, BV had signed Aarnio who promptly got injured and NBJ was declared fit to ride again - but not for too long as we all know. Not quite sure what other rider options were realistically available to replace either NBJ or Worrall on their respective averages, but if you wanna carry on stirring your particular type of $#!t then be happy with your opinions. BTW Poole may have been favourites at various times of this season (because we are always there or thereabouts) but current form clearly makes Poole the 3rd favourites behind Robins and Wolves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Poole may have been favourites at various times of this season (because we are always there or thereabouts) but current form clearly makes Poole the 3rd favourites behind Robins and Wolves. My opinion is that once Poole lost Worrall they were a much better side then as was proved by the run of form they went on. My thoughts were that they didnt need to sign anyone My opinion is that they still shouldnt have unless they could find the right rider which they clearly havent In the play offs i would say Poole will be better with R/R at 2 and have Covatti at 6 where he could impact a meeting if needed by having 7 rides.......now if one of the 1-5 are having an off night who do Poole have that could come in and do better from reserve........Josh form has slipped a bit so would you be happier having Covatti in to replace him or rely on THJ or Wells? I agree that r/r is risky in play offs in case you get an injury.............but the Poole team is now weaker than it was a month ago.....if Poole felt like they could replace Worrall then they should have done it much much sooner And by throwing in the towel i mean they are if they choose Swindon.............surely the aim is to be champions and at least make the final not worry about a bumper gate in the semi final And it does show that they have got things wrong because they are the 3rd best side in the play offs........they were favourites at the start and most of the season..why are they no longer favourites?.....because they have made poor team changes...while Swindon and Wolves have got it right. You say your not sure what other options were available............then dont change it just to get 7 riders..........Poole with r/r at 2 were stronger than they are now Edited September 15, 2019 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Don't really matter who is supposed favourites or whatever,, it matters what happens on the race nights, and no one knows who will crash or break down or get dodgy ref decisions go their way or not. I also think Ipswich could do Poole over 2 legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hype is for Douglas after his amazing meeting at Peterborough but at Poole Becker is as good or better, i think Wolves will win overall and i agree the only way we will make the final is to top the table so here's praying for a Kings Lynn win tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be tough, Swindon & Wolves are coming into great form at the right time, but if we all click on the night anything is possible. This year has been interesting, with Matt’s interests elsewhere and Danny’s maiden year I think he has taken his eye off the ball when it comes to riders available. I know for a fact that our riders have approached Matt with recommendations for possible replacements for Ritchie. Some we’re blocked because of Poland and others not considered. Wells isn’t a rider Poole would normally go for, money comes into play I know but don’t think THJ comes cheap even though he was riding at Berwick too!! For me he was a risk and at present a risk that isn’t paying off, he simply isn’t the rider he was. I think we have been spoilt over the years with riders, and when the eye is taken off the prize at times it shows up much more! Wells is not a rider we would normally go for but could still work if he returned to the form of when he guested for us and had a good score for Peterborough as a guest too if memory serves. THJ is a strange option and would personally have looked at a rider in the championship who was closer to Worrall's average so we retained Covatti at reserve. When Wells was brought in i would have kept NBJ and had Wells as a temporary replacement for Worrall, at least then we could have seen how it went and had options.I would like to think we could help THJ with better equipment but it's probably not just equipment. Mistakes have been made but we can't win every year but we can make the final if we top the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we need to come top. I would never write Poole off.. Anything can happen yet, and probably will 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wells bags a few on Monday then no need to replace him. But if he has another mare then he will be injured for the play offs. It's really not that hard to grasp. Your opinion isn't fact. Grasp that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 If Wells starts badly tonight,, he could easily slip off in one of his other races and knock that shoulder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Unless he gets injured in the remaining league meeting(s) then Ricky will be in for the play-offs according to Danny Ford in the local paper today. I'm sure everyone will give their opinion after watching on TV. Those that are attending will give their views too.
