Haven't heard any update on Schlein or Howarth,s injuries, suppose no news is good news, although missing Kyle hasn't made us weaker,it's always better to go into the playoffs with a full seven man squad.                                                                                                    Edit...See Howarth has been ruled out tomorrows meeting at Sheffield.

Both Kyle and Rory have been named in the championship pairs at Somerset next friday

Batchelor had no trouble with a damp track on Monday & has done well for us this season, raising his average to 8+ this season. Would happily have him back next season. It's good to see a smile on his face again this season.

Didn't think he was that impressive Monday got beat a long way by Douglas in one race and can't imagine anyone thought he should be in heat 15.

So I guess the big question is whether Swindon get anything from Kings Lynn on Monday as to whether KL need to come up with a date to host Poole (17th or 19th?), assuming Poole pick up maximum points from their two home meetings?!

Holder was rubbish in Sweden last night needs to up his game if you are going to get to the final

Batchelor was beaten in a rerun by the flying Douglas after hurtling at high speed into the fence. He has been very good this year enjoying his racing and the new track suits him for me with Doyley should be certainties for the  2020 season.

Holder got 16 last week in Sweden then was rubbish for us so maybe better at Poole this time, also Brady was rubbish in Poland the other night.

Lets not forget Jack had a crash last Thursday at Poole yet still managed 8 points - not good enough for a 3rd heat leader maybe but perhaps understandable.

Game suitably upped I guess!!

I wouldn't put too much store on last nights performance, if he repeats it on Monday then I will have more confidence going in to the play offs when we will need all our riders on form. THJ looked a little better last night but still a long way short of what is needed.

He dropped his only point to Riss and beat Harris once and Cook 3 times, as well as setting his new fastest time of the season in heat 4. and getting Rider of the Night!

Both his and Brady's Swedish teams are out of their play-offs so should cut down on their travel considerably. Great to see Chris Holder and Max there too last night.

Poole were built strength in depth which means they’ve had to compromise their top end strength a little. Perhaps Holder and Kurtz are as good now as they are going to get? Decent riders without breaking into the top bracket which Fricke for example seems to have done.

Ok maybe I am being a little harsh but we do need him on his best form.
