Bagpuss 10,781 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Palm-Toft in for the injured Porsing, guest for Blackbird TBC. U21 WTC final in Denmark on Saturday which had no doubt contributed to Porsing having the week off and presumably means Michelsen will miss this?

Bagpuss 10,781 Posted August 21, 2014 Porsing crashed at Ostrow in the U21 2nd round Yep that's why I typed that he is injured, but I bet he'd have ridden tonight and tomorrow if the WTC wasn't happening on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 351 Posted August 21, 2014 Fairly straightforward 3 points for Stars in this one..Eastie never go well around the NA.....just hope for some good racing to keep things interesting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 21, 2014 Should be a easy home win. Eastbourne have been poor away from home. Then again in speedway anything can happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted August 21, 2014 We need the points to keep Poole at bay ...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted August 21, 2014 With Blackbird at reserve, this could have been a close meeting especially judging by the Stars showing last week. Without him, we'll win by 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krompa 236 Posted August 21, 2014 Will Blackbird replacement be again announced around 18? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,665 Posted August 22, 2014 Tonight's meeting will give us a good indication of where we're at right now. If we can't hit 50+ against this poor travelling Eastbourne team, we're right up the pooper in terms of any chance in the Play-Offs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted August 22, 2014 It's a great opportunity for the Stars to get a 'W' back on the scoreboard. Looks like the riders need a boost, hopefully a good performance in front of a bumper Friday night bank holiday crowd should do the trick. And I'm not entertaining any of this 'team changes are needed talk'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we can't hit 50+ against this poor travelling Eastbourne team, we're right up the pooper in terms of any chance in the Play-Offs. If the Play Offs started this coming Monday and the four teams were, as I suspect they will be, us Poole Swindon & Cov, I'd have us down as fourth favourites currently. The next five to six weeks are vital in terms of getting back into some form, starting tonight. Next Wednesday against Swindon is a massive meeting too.
