Bald Bloke Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 4 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: Certainly gone full circle. You can’t win meetings without scoring reserves and tonight proved it! I said as soon as Howarth was missing that Wolves were far stronger and so it proved. They surely want him to stay injured because as a team they will score far more points. Paid 9 from his rides. Of course the reason Wolves won is because they outscored Pooles reserves by 1 point (gifted in heat 2) to paid 21. A massive gap the Poole top five couldn’t cover. In fact no team could cover that. Becker was excellent as he was last visit. Both he and Douglas had Wells and THJ for breakfast. Whilst the latter can be slightly excused as it was his first meeting, Wells has gone from bad to worse. In fact he never looked close to a point. THJ did have one go in heat 14 which he led for a lap before coming under pressure and then falling. Best bet is to now get rid of Wells for what is left of the season. While we can’t replace him, we can use horse for course guests which is surely likely to do better. Really though there was only one team in it and from the start Wolves were faster out of the starts. On a slick track we couldn’t make an impression. A bit of pirate pride kicked in to close the gap but were were always found wanting whenever we had a reserve in a heat. In heat 15 we needed a 5-1 to draw but Brady completely missed it and Klindt made two errors to allow the Wolves riders through. The correct result to be honest. Well done to Wolves. A A Formidable force. I thought he had to be injured to do that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to get him here for next season. Have said the same to my dad watching him at Ipswich - superb around Foxhall and getter better every visit! Would love to see him ride for the witches! wolves have got a gem there, hope he has the right people guiding him could reach the top imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Not if wants to be released. Can’t force him to ride. He is absolutely not the type of rider we have in Pirates colours. If a rider scores nothing but is giving it a go, then fair enough. But to be tailed off going down the back straight of lap one is not acceptable. I am sure he is a nice guy but it is doing him no good at all.

Can't see him withdrawing his services, and no chance to earn, but it happens. It isn't doing him much good, I agree.. And Poole even less good You need 2 new reserves for the play offs.

So withholding his services & therefore would get a 28 ban. Wouldn’t this mean he couldn’t race for Edinburgh?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prob with Swindon using one tonight seeing as they are the away team, but can't believe they need to use one at Ippo, shocking! No change there then, slag Robins off for using t/s but then Poole do the same thing against the same team, Robins win their meeting, Poole lose their's but then go on about Ippo meeting. I think you will find they are a different prospect with Iversen in their l/up. Broke the track record with his 1st ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole twitter said 11+3. I scored Morris as 11+3. (0;3;2+1;1;1+1;1+1;3) Well done to the Wolves - much better on the night and all over by heat 8 to be honest. Stronger reserves and stronger with r/r, but no complaints from me. THJ looked to have finally got his set-up right in heat 14 - shot out of the gate then promptly fell off whilst battling a 5+1 with Josh G. So hopefully could be worth a few points next time around. Track was much slicker (and dustier) than recent weeks, but take nothing away from Wolves - they wanted it more. (or was it just a bit of average reduction before the play-offs?)
