Starkey I'd be shocked if got less than 7 in each leg. I understand the choice but I'd probably have taken the risk on ruml too. Danyon at reserve could've been huge at Poole, shame he's missing out Based on performances for Oxford, Ruml could be fantastic or okay....Starke could be awful or awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely have him back next year IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Ben Cook interview last night, it was mentioned as a passing comment about the team average is going to reduced by a considerable amount in the Champ, so be interesting to see what happens with that.

That's the BSPL way of ensuring teams don't have 3 strong heat leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Starke was always nailed on, and at reserve will be a serious force to be reckoned with. He goes very well at Poole. But I am sure the Pirates will be well up for this and it will be a very tight couple of meetings. Glasgow go into it as favourites and we need to hold them to 8-10 points to stand a chance of making the final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think it will be very close overall, if Glasgow had Hume i would be quite worried by without him i think we should win but it obviously doesn't always work out the way you expect.

You think? I think Glasgow are stronger with the more experienced Starke, especially so at reserve. I was gutted Danyon was not in this years team as he is a great lad and has improved a lot this season. But Paul Starke has been there and got the t-shirt. At reserve he could get double figures and come in for an under performing top five rider. All the Pirates need to put it on the line on Sunday. They don’t want to leave Glasgow without giving 100% effort and Havvy will no doubt expect maximum effort. If we come up short, we’ll so be it. But no silly tapes exclusions or falls.

Yes I agree he could be a trump card at reserve but Starke hasn't been at his best lately so that is partly why I fancy our chances. We know it will be tough but I think and obviously hope we can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes some of the guys have PL spots and had some testing last couple of weeks but doesn't prepare you for play off speedway. I fear getting caught cold as the enemy have been tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly taking into account Starke guested for us at the number 5 position and held his own earlier in the season and rides Ashfield well it was a no brainier. As much as Danyon will be missed Starke is more than adequate At reserve he could clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His form recently has been a little “ hit or miss” but as you say at reserve he is more than capable of doing the job.He certainly always gives 100%.

If he rides to his capabilities he could be a match winner but my money would be on Zach to outscore him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes two teams of equal strength, hopefully both teams turn up unlike last night, can't imagine it will be a big crowd at Leicester tonight.
