Howarth and Schlein were impressive and most of the Wolves put in solid performances. The Aces, Bjerre apart, were disappointing. Fricke rode better than his points suggest but it wasn't what is required from a number one. The second strings were very poor and although Bewley would probably have scored more than his replacement, we still wouldn't have been close to getting a point. Yes Wolves definitely in top 4 race now. Thorsell and Morris improved form. Belle Vue could easily miss out as predicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swindon and King's Lynn are presently in a better position than Wolverhampton to get into the play offs. The more meaningful league table comparing points dropped at home against points gained away shows: Poole +12 Ipswich +12 Belle Vue +5 Swindon = King's Lynn = Wolves -2 Peterborough -10 To miss out Belle Vue need to drop points at home and two of those below them to pick up points away. Of course that might happen but they are not in danger at the moment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could easily happen at homein the next meeting especially after being beaten tonight by such a wide margin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF and it’s a big IF we win at Swindon on Thursday then we will soon be counted out again. 1 point ahead of Swindon who have 2 matches up on us. The Aces already have points in the bag so I reckon will stay top 4. It will take one almighty surge in form to start winning away and give much needed extra points for the top 4. IF that was to happen then Wolves would be peaking at the right time and would be huge favourites to go on and win the title. Only a win at Swindon will keep us right in the top 4 race. However well done to the boys for making the Aces look ordinary on the road again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno 1,790 Posted August 5, 2019 On a different point, for two heats tonight the sponsors ,i presume ,were allowed to watch from the center green. There was over 50 on the center green including officials etc. Is this an incident waiting to happen. Don't get me wrong I hate h&s namby pamby rubbish as much as the next person but I looked at the amount on the infield and thought a runaway bike could cause carnage here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a grip Steve for goodness sake ! Perhaps you ought to actually read his post again. He has clearly stated IF Wolves were to make the top four they would be strong favorites. To have done that would require a huge upturn in away form. It's a view I completely agree with. Whether that upturn in away form will come is another matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,763 Posted August 6, 2019 There is often a team who has a lot of momentum at the business end of the season and if Wolves make the top four it will be them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you will win at Swindon but you could win at Belle Vue and Kings Lynn, Swindon could win at Belle Vue to help you too. It could happen, don't lose faith yet.

Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted August 6, 2019 Good meeting last night. Unfortunately because most the passes were done by wolves riders. Berge away average is now under 2. How the hell is he still in a job Worrall is so inconsistent and fricke just isnt at the races lately. Thinks hes had 1 to many big accidents that have taken its toll. Maybe a week or 2 rest will do him good. Toby carvery tried for little points. At least the effort was there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
