Well it's 47-43 to Wolves and the fat lady is clearing her throat. COYR - show some fight and maybe cause an upset!

Wolves should think about this meeting in isolation, forget the aggregate score (will obviously be quite tight in during the first couple of heats).....win on the night like you have been doing all season at home and the title is yours.

Not so much "causing an upset", more like digging yourself out of a great big hole!

If tonight's score was other way around I wouldn't feel confident, so being -4 to start requires a monumental change in attitude and mindset.

After tonight, can anyone honestly see Swindon somehow managing to win 42-48? Before tonight 42-48 could be expected. However Swindon were so outclassed it would be the biggest comeback since Lazarus.

I have to believe otherwise what's the point. A good start and who knows...be level after 4 heats & you never know.

Wolves definitely deserved that. It would be difficult for Swindon if they had a small lead but with Wolves home advantage they need only show the same commitment and determination again in the second leg and they will be the proud winners of consecutive championships.

Newman is good around Monmore. But BWD is not injured.

Newman is good around Monmore. But BWD is not injured. Ellis however is, as could be seen by his score tonight. Adam is a far better rider than tonight so his wrist might be the excuse Rosco is looking for to bring Kyle in?

 

I hope that is not the case. Ellis has ridden well this season and there should be no tactical chop out.

They cant use a guest to replace Ellis ..it would be rr

you were too quick. Realised that as soon as I hit submit.

That didnt stop them using Newman against us.

With Lindgren and Thorssell in the team I would be quietly confident now, but we don't have them, so................anything can happen.

Without 2 Monmore specialists in our line up this tie is most definitely not over.

Swindon will have no pressure on them now so I can still see a Swindon win.

Wolves will start as favourites and no one will be expecting to say that at any point up to 7.30pm Monday night.

I would agree that this isn't over yet, but it's certainly Wolves now in the driving seat with Swindon as the underdogs.

 

Were this the first leg - with the line ups as expected - people would be predicting a Swindon win. Wolves' performance in the first leg has changed that. Swindon are now underdogs, and need to take advantage of this.

 

I predict Swindon coming out fighting and having a load of bad corners due to over-riding! Can't see us winning at Monmore if Wolves maintain their mentality from the first leg - bit it's certainly possible.
