I'll be heading down south for my annually trip to both plymouth and poole. I enjoy them both and love their little rivalry, if you can even call it that... Just a shame plymouth isn't Tuesday anymore, always went plymouth Tuesday, poole Wednesday and head back up north via sheffield or Ipswich on the Thursday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Plymouth are more competitive this season, the rilvary will be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a decent signing overall though. Expand The Klindt was superb for Worky in the treble win of 2018. I had so much more respect for him by the end of that season. It may have helped that he had his mates with him in the team in Rene Bach and Rasmus Jensen but he was a strong character himself and I have fond memories of him from that season. Nobody really knows how any signing will turn out but I think Plymouth have made a sound choice. Be great to see him at Worky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Think you've lost your marbles RR, if you'd prefer Klindt over Zagar at this level. Klindt has yet to have a stand out season at this level as a number 1 and is the type of rider who would average similar in the top flight or this league. Plus coming back from an injury. Klindt will be heatleader standard for sure but nowhere near the top of the averages whereas Zagar would IMO be number 1 in the league averages. Zagars gating is pretty good too.

Expand He is a good gater to be fair and every one knows thats the main route to success at Plymouth. Plus at Wolves he was riding in a much tougher league and wasnt as polished a rider as he is now . i have always respected Ruckerroos posts from his Reading days and maybe Zagar has fell off form more than I thought but if I had a choice id take him over Klindt every time. Zagar was superb around Eastbourne which is / was a tight track. none the less the promotion have gone out and got a decent rider in so have to applaud them, Zagar would probably want double Klindts wages.

Expand He has, but under a Warsaw Contract for Ostrow in the Ekstraliga 2 which, as far as i can make out means he is attached but not under official contract. What happens if there are fixture clashes I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klindt is renowned for sharp starting and as you say he's prob cheaper .

Expand Wasn’t Klindt meant to be the next great danish hope when he first came over? But sure he done his shoulder quite badly and took him a while to get over it. And as you say he hasn’t set the world alight in the championship in the past but he should easily average 8.50 imo. Plymouth will need him to be nigh on unbeatable.

He had a very brief spell for Plymouth in 2021, failing to score from 3 meetings. If my memory is correct he then wanted to leave. Quick look at his Championship scores at Plymouth: 0 (3) 0 (3) 2+1 (4) 0 (3) If Plymouth are focussing on home wins, I'd go for Ben Trigger. Probably take Jack Smith over Trigger at most other tracks in the league. Another option could be Adam Roynon?

therefused Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Jack Smith has reached his (fairly low) potential now, how long has he been around? Would go for Trigger personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffa Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 In the Championship last year Ben Trigger only failed to score in 1 meeting. One of his best meetings for Redcar was at Plymouth. Should be an improvement again this year. I know it will bring Plymouth under a point below the limit but he seems to be the best of the rest, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
