Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted August 5, 2019 On thursday we have a crucial encounter with Wolves and i believe it will be a close affair.After tonight's meeting Wolves v Belle Vue Wolves could be back in the top four and looking to consolidate at the Abbey stadium.Swindon will then have five matches in hand over Belle Vue and need to collect all the points to close the gap.The reserves are the key for me Wolves look mighty strong in that department Howarth/ Douglas i just hope Ellis can continue his good form as he has ridden very well also Vissing has chipped in with useful points.If Thorssell is back to his old self i think it could be a very tight 6/8 point win for the Robins?? my heart tells me Wolves are capable of nicking a point.

Wolves away form is crap. Yes a crucial match, which Swindon will win comfortably. It's not our year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Came in on a 4.51 average and in a way he has kept our season alive.His scoring for Swindon will drop it has to but he has had a great run also his entertainment value has been second to none. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 6, 2019 Adam Ellis is riding on wed for Birmingham, so subject to how that works out he may well be back for this meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A glimmer possibly but both Jacob and Nick will need to score a lot more than they did in the last meeting which ended 52 - 38. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,339 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Will go 50-40. The Wolves are improving but rarely do well at Blunsdon. Edited August 6, 2019 by auntie doris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
