MattK 3,447 Posted August 23, 2014 It's Coventry and Eastbourne's to lose now. Lakeside seem to be on the way down after some early season form and Swindon are simply too inconsistent to maintain a challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted August 23, 2014 Doesn't really matter which other three teams reach the play offs the title will go to Poole anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Swindon and Eastie only win all there home matches then It's Swindon who will finish in the top 4 ...Eastie are going to have to win away something they have not done for very long time .

Sienna Ryan 43 Posted August 23, 2014 ? If Swindon and Eastie only win all there home matches then It's Swindon who will finish in the top 4 ...Eastie are going to have to win away something they have not done for very long time . Very true but Swindon have also got to win their home matches and hope for no rain offs. Its so tight I honestly couldn't pick the 2 teams. Great to see though as this is what the league should be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted August 23, 2014 Subject to completion of fixtures the only real issue is whether Swindon will be 4th which they should be capable of achieving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted August 23, 2014 Depending on rain, Coventry and Swindon will finish in the top 4. The race for 1st looks far more interesting. Poole are my favourites, 2 wins at Lakeside could see them nick it but technically, Coventry could still do it. I just don't see it happening though as we're not going to get Wolves and Leicester* at home in or Leicester* away. Annoyingly that's 10 points lost that we'll probably win after the cut off date. Wonder if Leicester* could rearrange the meeting before the cut off. *I have assumed Monday is going to be a washout. Which could also be catastrophic for Swindon - as they'd lose 3 points vs Lakeside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted August 23, 2014 Who would u have 3rd then? Not sure but close between King's Lynn, Poole and Coventry for the top three. Getting fixtures fitted in may yet have a bearing on the final outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Cross 120 Posted August 24, 2014 Looks like Poole have a problem for the Semi Finals anyway. Milik is required in Czecho. As these fixtures are additions to the main season,Poole will have to go with a 6pt Premier League rider. A similar problem with the Poles IF they get to the Final. Add in the transfer deadline looming very quickly,what can Poole do/not do regarding any possible replacement for Ward if the FIM decision comes after that date?

Add in the transfer deadline looming very quickly,what can Poole do/not do regarding any possible replacement for Ward if the FIM decision comes after that date? Why have the dates been agreed to clash them. Surely dates should have been made for Play off final so teams were at strength. Could play offs not be moved back a week? This would help teams make sure they get all there fixtures fufilled & also that teams are at strength for the final? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt Poole knew about these dates all season and have THJ lined up to replace Milik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
