SCB 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Whilst not dismissing Birminghams play-off chances, a little too much is being read into Mondays result. The reality is, with Woffinden riding, or Iversen on his normal bikes, they would have scored a minimum of 13. Thats 8 more than Iversen got... take away 2 from Wells and 1 from Adam and its a 5pt swing.. 49-41. They would still have a good chance of winning in the 2nd leg but folk wouldn't be talking about how dominant they are. I think it will be pretty close if it was Swindon/Birmingham but I'd just give Swindon the edge. And if Danny king had stayed on his bike.... But if Proctor was there... But if Auty was there... We could go on for a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*JJ 521 Posted September 25, 2013 And if Danny King had stayed on his bike.... But if Proctor was there... But if Auty was there... We could go on for a while If Covatti and Smoli had not had engine trouble ... if there had not been three wrongheaded refereeing decisions ... the FACT is, that the best team on the day won. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

david2905 230 Posted September 25, 2013 If the Swindon team had not had the problems that have been discussed before and now sorted out they would have finished top. No way would they have been beaten by BV or Peterborough at home. Looked a pretty full strength team at Perry Barr to me, we've had a few duff meetings and injuries too so that logic doesn't stand up for me. In any case, woulden't be the first time this season we've defied common opinion. Whilst not dismissing Birminghams play-off chances, a little too much is being read into Mondays result.

They would still have a good chance of winning in the 2nd leg but folk wouldn't be talking about how dominant they are. Even if Woofy rode, I think Brum would have done enough over 2 legs, though Wolves would have won the 1st leg. Dudley did well last night. At least the track prep suited them If the track prep at Monmore didn't suit Wolves, why are the Wolves management/riders not demanding the track curator prepares it how they want, isn't that the perogative of a home side ?.

In any case, woulden't be the first time this season we've defied common opinion. My post referred to the meeting at home ie Swindon not Perry Barr, and we did not have a full strength team at Perry Barr on our last visit, but the first meeting there resulted in a Swindon win.

Leicester Hunter 381 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) BWitcher makes a very good point about Woffy's absence. I said as much before the match on Monday, and as it unfolded. Another factor was the inclusion of a certain Mr Andrew Tully in the Birmingham team, who on that performance has probably been our best guest this season. Any bike problems for both Nico and Smoli were cancelled out by Proctor's absence IMO. However, Miskowiak in particular, and to an extent Klindt were shocking for the Wolves. The amount of points dropped by both of those riders in the end could prove fatal. That said however, it's only half time, advantage Birmingham. We've got to stay focused and finish the job at Perry Barr on Monday. Supporters of both clubs, get down to Perry Barr on Monday to cheer your team on. I reckon it'll be another cracker of a match.
