Pirates need to be on top form to keep it close. We are capable but need to hold it to ten points. With no tacs allowed, reserves play an even more important role and this is where we can come unstuck. But I am sure we will be fired up and giving it our best shot!

Both Glasgow and ourselves have come in to form, it will depend on riders like Kemp and our Cooks for us and might depend on the guest Glasgow get, it is a shame that they don't have a full team but that is how it goes sometimes. Can't see Ulrich coming back, if Hume came back that would be a plus for them. Has Ostergaard ridden since end of July? Heard they can use Starke or Etheridge in place of Hume, which would be a hell of a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Wonder if might bring start time forward. Met office for possilpark has 50% chance of rain from 7 onwards. Probably take ruml over Starkey on this seasons form at reserve. I certainly wouldn't expect it to be etheridge given his last guest appearance. Big risk if ulle coming back for this match having not ridden for 2 months Edited September 20, 2022 by Jaizer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big risk if ulle coming back for this match having not ridden for 2 months Ulrich would be too much of a risk in my opinion, historically he takes a few meetings to get back to form. Hume wouldn't need that and could probably find his form quicker but still a risk . Etheridge has improved lately so maybe a possible guest although i appreciate he hasn't done well in the past at Glasgow. Starke is a bit off form lately so probably not him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not up on the averages but assume r/r would be broc, Tom, Connor and whoever guests eligible. Give Tom the heat 8 ride don't think it would weaken us all that much. Ruml would be my choice as guest, probably got Poole the draw earlier in season and gives it everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big risk if ulle coming back for this match having not ridden for 2 months Find it hard making my mind up between Starke and Ruml if that’s the choice but I’m inclined to go with Starke, I think. No-one’s mentioned Wells though……and although his average is lower than the others, he could be a good shout at Ashfield as replacement for Danyon. I don’t know how he goes at Poole though……. Vissing was another I thought about but have been afraid to say…..lol Also……a question…….Does Ben move to no.1?…….I see his average is higher than Cookie’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your comment on Ruml, we all like a trier. Tom would be the one above Ulrich's average so i don't think you would suffer much with r/r although i wouldn't think he counts the Poole track as one of his favourites!

Lol……I saw that after checking myself…….he DID have an off in his first outing though. Don’t know if that was the cause of his bad performance. Also, looking back, I see Starkey got 8+1 from five the last time he was there with Oxford. Ruml got 8 from seven in the same meeting………I think I’ve made my mind up now…..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he's never had great deal of success at Poole. Compare his British final with the CLRC against a lot of the same riders will tell you that. but he's had a few goes now, he's maybe due a good one!!

Hume has had a very good season and is obviously a big miss, i met his dad at Leicester last season and was very impressed with his attitude and getting over his struggles, i think he is getting the rewards now and it is a shame he is injured. He is a very nice guy and deserves success. I feel whoever they get a guest replacement will not be as good but Ruml seems to be the best choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
