Belle Vue Vs Wolves, Nss, 27/9/17... Playoff Semi Final 2nd Leg.

[mikec 412]

I hipeyou are right but personally I think Wolves will blast Belle Vue out of the water at Monmore and go through. Then see off Swindon 54-36ish which will be enough to retain.

We were blasted out of the the water last year in the playoffs at Monmore, hopefully not this time!

Personally I think Wolves will keep it close next Monday and then be a tight one at Monmore. Either way should make cracking tv.

Would agree first leg will be close. I'd take a 10 point lead right now if offered, will be mighty tough to achieve that though. As for 2nd leg Wolves hit us hard early at Monmore last year in the Grand Final (14 down after 7 heats) & we couldn't recover. Expect a better showing from our top 5 this time round.

 

The key to the whole tie for me is a fully fit Bewley. Impossible to replace round BV, goes well at Monmore too. If he's 100% & excels then I like our chances. If not could be heartbreak again.

 

Feels like an age since the tie was announced, win or lose can't wait for Monday night - should be a cracker

As noted elsewhere, Bewley was tremendous last time out at Monmore and could be a key card if fully fit. Fricke likewise a concern after injury.

From a Wolves perspective, the only lingering concern similarly would be over Masters' fitness.

Let's hope for two fully-fit sevens and a brilliant two-legged tie. The Aces strike me as marginally better at Monmore than Wolves are at the NSS, but not much in it overall. Game on!

Despite last season, we still haven't got 1993 out of our systems

 

Used to love watching Bobby Ott, until that night grrrrrrrr

Yes me too very unusual riding style, very exciting rider to watch.

I think you will do very well to get a 10 point lead I think it will be a lot closer and my guess would be 6, if that is the case then I think Wolves will go through.

Well, Fricke is definitely back on form now!

[Phil The Ace 2,860]

Fricke was unbelievable last night. Best I've seen him.

 

But we have lost Smith now who started to score a few points at home.

 

Liam Carr

Jake knight

James sargaent

Rob shuttleworth

 

 

Are best options

I'd go with Rob at the NSS and L Carr at Wolves

If Bewley can hit the ground running on his return then it could be your year.

Good luck to Belle Vue in the first leg - it's going to be tough without your own reserves but I do hope you win and make it interesting for the second leg

Be surprised if Sargaent's average was to fit, seems to be 5.66 in the Championship. The others sounds plausible.

Either way it is going to be a struggle for any of them to score any points.

For workington his average is bang on 3

Don't follow the championship, has he really slipped that far, or are there extenuating circumstances ?

[Midland Red 2,383]

Will Craig Cook be un-sick, or have a doctor's note?

[Rob B 1,256]

What is the rule regarding guests for Jack Smith. Can a championship rider be used or does it have to be a rider who rides in National League only? What is the conversion factor?
