You seem very concerned about Plymouth, you'd be better off checking Poole's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t see Pearson ending up at Glasgow as it would leave Pearson and Pijper as the Glasgow bottom two which is weak IMO. Weak compared to what though?……..how can you say that when we don’t know who other teams’ tail enders will be?….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched him both live and on video, he does look a good prospect. Am sure he will make further strides in 2024. Whoever gets him has made an astute choice in my view.

That being said, I'd assume Pearson would be happy to return to Plymouth as his scoring improved post-Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me agrees with you, but then again, many clubs show no loyalty, so you could argue why should riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in your world if you are not on here then you are asleep? I bet you just sit on the Poole website and constantly refreshing it every 30 secs. Sure they'll be glad the amount of clicks you're giving them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Pearson is he finished the season on 4.08 which with the reduced points limit leaves him as a very expensive reserve (meaning you suffer at the top end) or as a weak main body rider. He's unfortunately in a bit of no-mans-land. I think his return for me, if he wants to come back that is, would very much depend on where we see him fitting in and who will be the reserves (with or without him at reserve). Last season we made the error of being far too weak at the bottom end of the team. With a lower points limit finding riders at the bottom end that will improve their starting average is crucial. Barker is going to take up about 7.5 so we're in effect playing with 30.5 for six riders and Barker isn't number one material so to be competitive this season we're going to need a gem or two at the bottom end. One thing we cannot be is sentimental. We need to be calculated in looking for riders that want to come here and that can improve average wise.

Dickie Head Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 How about Barker, Covatti, Thompson twins, Bowtell and Gilkes with 1 other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilkes is riding Poland,so Saturday nights isn't any good for him,poole probably want to keep Joe and possibly sign his brother aswell. Can't see covatti riding in Britain again, Bowtell will be in demand for sure,barker a strong possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
