You don't have to have to lowest average reserve riding at 7. Having Newman at 2 is strange but i think it doesn't matter as long as the average is lower than the rider he is replacing.

But it won’t last in my opinion. They will make the playoffs with ease, like Poole, even with our injury crisis. You could even win next week at Wimborne Road as we are vulnerable at the moment. But I don’t see Ipswich as champions. If Swindon could somehow get a decent reserve they would have the best team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Vissing is the answer because we are running out of riders to try!! We will be giving your famous 15 of 2018 a run for its money soon!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Totally peed off with the Poole promotion constantly tell us they can’t find any riders to sign as either injury replacements or permanent replacements, yet 5 of the other Premiership teams have had no trouble finding riders, some of them have made changes 2 or 3 times....It really is total and utter BS from Poole as always. Also, why can they not say what injuries a rider has sustained??....They were still telling us that Worrall and Covatti were still awaiting the result of scans two or three days after it was posted on social media that Worrall had broken his ankle and Covatti had broken ribs!!!! We were only informed in yesterday’s (Tuesday) Echo that Kurtz had a head injury, ONE WHOLE WEEK after his crash in Sweden.....It really is pathetic how they treat the supporters.......

They do like their secrets! I guess maybe we are going to have r/r for Richie til the end of season. Covatti and Brady back next week hopefully? So prob use a guest til NBJ comes back.

Matt Ford clearly said in his Evening Echo interview in January just after he secured what he called was a HIGH FIVE FIGURE sponsorship deal, that this now gave him the opportunity to sign good quality replacement riders in the event of injuries or out of form riders mid season. I got the impression he meant decent overseas riders bearing in mind all that the UK would have to offer mid season is dropped riders or those of inferior quality not already signed up elsewhere long before mid season arrived. Some overseas riders become more willing once we hit mid/late July time. Especially those who may be missing out at the very top level in POL EXL. Looks like more empty words to me and a sign he is trying to slip through at least to the play offs on the same tight budget as before he secured the major sponsor, with some of the questionable quality in the team at both HL level and definitely further down with riders such as Worrall and NBJ despite their injuries/illness. For sure a severely depleted team through injuries/illness is not helping but personally with KL riding high again with Cook signed and now Riss back and Ipswich at home having already beaten Poole I question if even a full strength Poole would have won at either venue anyway. I would have been happy with 2 defeats by six or less personally.
