stevebrum 6,819 Posted September 23, 2017 We need a 10 to 12 point lead on Monday to have any chance on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) In my mind belle Vue were always favourites to go through and if Bewley scores like that again we have little chance. In my mind there are no favourites at this stage.Both teams on paper look very even. Its all about how things go on the night.The weather how the track is some will score better if its dry others will score better if it is wet getting bike set ups right etc.We have a good record at Wolves but look what happened in last years final. Last night Bewley was on fire Worrall looked like he was on a lawn mower on a different night things could be very different. so we have 2 very even teams I for one cannot pick a winner at this stage its all down to what happens on the night/nights and this is what makes it a cracking contest may the best team win.

bellevueace 912 Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) The league table would point to Wolves being favorites surely as they finished above us after a full campaign? Having said that the tie could go either way, Nathan Greaves could be correct saying it could come down to the reserves, Wolves have two that will pick up the odd points that could make the difference, we have Dan and really no one else, both sides are capable of going well on each others track, but we are talking Belle Vue and the play offs here Edited September 23, 2017 by bellevueace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,079 Posted September 23, 2017 I would say Wolves are clear favourites, Bewley is by far the best reserve in the league and he goes well at Monmore so with him in form they have a chance but Wolves should be able to build a sizeable advantage with most of their team in good form.

Ace no.5 169 Posted September 23, 2017 There's pointers to say that both teams should be labelled the "favourites". That then says to me that this tie is pretty much 50/50 And will be decided by small margins. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 Posted September 23, 2017 There's pointers to say that both teams should be labelled the "favourites". That then says to me that this tie is pretty much 50/50 And will be decided by small margins. Yep, fair enough. I would have the Aces down as marginal favourites (innate pessimism, perhaps!) as they seem to go that little bit better at Monmore than Wolves do at the NSS (Wolves needed a tactical ride in each of the away matches, coming up with a win and a second place). But there doesn't appear to be all that much in it either way. Hoping for two full teams and a brace of excellent matches. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stats tho over the year between both teams have seen the Aces win over 2 legs on both occasions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
