Aces51 2,777 Posted September 18, 2018 Can we pull back Somerset's lead of 14 points? Going to be very difficult but not impossible. We need everyone to be on form and to score at least 8 from Dan's rides. Jonas B Andersen guests for Riss. He scored three at the NSS when riding for Wolves, so could do a bit better at reserve but not going to be easy as Somerset have a strong reserve pairing. I'm going to be optimistic and despite our previous close encounters say we will either do it or, get close to doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted September 18, 2018 Jonas B Andersen in place of Riss. a big hill to climb but not impossible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bold prediction Aces will either do it or they won't I hope they do, to keep the season alive so I can watch more great speedway while I'm up here, I fear the track may be too fair to pull back such a deficit though, BV never tend to win big at the NSS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,224 Posted September 19, 2018 Aces probably regret dropping Jye for Riss now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jye did a good job at the NSS but was doing nothing away and we needed to pick up points away to get into the play offs. Riss was ok prior to his injury and his away average shows he did the job expected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guested for Somerset at Poole recently looked quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,189 Posted September 19, 2018 Looking at the results with Riss in, we would have made the play offs anyway with Jye and had a potentially good scoring reserve at the NSS. As most said at the time it should have been Dimitri for Drozdz and keep Jye. What’s done is done but we never really got to see Mark perform due to him carrying an injury.

No he didn't. Are you thinking of Nicolaj Busk Jakobsen or Tero Aarnio who we used as guests for Allen and BWD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,777 Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) As I've mentioned Andersen scored 3 from 4 rides on his visit with Wolves at the end of August. He was in the 1-5 but that doesn't really give any cause to think he strengthens us. His away average for Wolves is 2.46. Riders like Andersen and Riss might have a good night but might have a bad night and on average have far more bad nights than good. We might just be lucky tonight, I hope so.

SUPERACE 440 Posted September 19, 2018 Belle Vue should win tonight but I don't expect us to get close to the aggregate win. I think around 6 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,055 Posted September 19, 2018 Personally i think 14 points is way too much to pull back especially with Doyle and Holder in town. 8 may have been doable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
