ruckerroo 792 Posted October 21, 2016 yet another fascinating battle in prospect. eastie would hope wood scores more than coles did weds, jake knight will fancy scoring more too brum will be hoping for double figures for shanes and the usual glut of points from the dynamic duo at reserve I'm going for a 6-8 point home win with it being beautifully poised for weds night. my only issue is this weathers gonna break soon and will they get all 3 meetings inn, should be a big crowd and a good atmosphere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted October 21, 2016 Let's hope they have all recovered from their end of season party..... which is being held in season. That's the only thing that I don't understand with this club. Wonder if wood is definitely back on Sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solrac 313 Posted October 21, 2016 According to Eagles website Georgie is indeed back on Sunday, which is good news. Sounds like Charley Powell will be back too. I'm guessing Tommy B at number 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted October 22, 2016 8 point advantgage to the riders plus 10 points home track advantgage = 18 point win to Eastbourne on the day. 54-36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solrac 313 Posted October 22, 2016 18 point win to Eastbourne? You been drinking? I think not. Seem to remember the Brummies keeping to single figures earlier in season. Think this will go down to the wire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think this will go down to the wire. not forgetting we had 5 riders that day, although 4 riders will do the bulk of the scoring this time we could pick up a 6 point win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummiestormer 172 Posted October 22, 2016 I was coming down for this but don't think i can stand being robbed again in the play offs like we were in the EL and in previous finals we have been in; the KO Cup is gone and we might end up with nothing...so i'll drown my sorrows at home thanks.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 22, 2016 I don't agree with the play offs either, but eastbourne didn't make the rules. The brummies need some heat winners at Arlington, which is never easy for the away team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted October 22, 2016 I can't really see where heat advantages will come from I think discounting reserves it is going to hinge on if Jake can hit 10-12 this time and if Ellis beats Shanes everytime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you lose either which no way is a forgone conclusion, you will have lost it at home really. With your fantastic reserves should have had a 10 point plus lead, and even with our home track advantage, very hard to come back from 10+ behind. If you restrict us to single figures tonight still have an even chance of winning the playoffs . Edited October 22, 2016 by gazzac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunters 210 Posted October 22, 2016 8 point advantgage to the riders plus 10 points home track advantgage = 18 point win to Eastbourne on the day. 54-36 I wish Christmas could come that early. How can you honestly imagine not getting 20 points from the reserves and Shanes is probably enough to secure the win. A last heat decider could perhaps make a draw but Brummies by 4 or 6 looks odds on. Do all Brummie supporters have such little faith in their fabulous only once beaten team.
