Coventry V Swindon - 21/08/2015

Recommended Posts

We get this doom and gloom virtually every match and we come out and win. It'll be close and I think Swindon will take a point but I think we'll get a small victory. Depends on who we have to guest for us obviously. Swindon will probably be even weaker at reserve so will probably only get a few points between them.

 

Don't get me wrong over a 2 leg play off situation I don't think we'd win.

 

Swindon are really low on choice of guests for Friday looking at it. Looks like Clegg or either Greenwood from tier 2. Is Blackbird riding anywhere Friday otherwise Swindon can only pick from the Tier 1 guest list.

 

Edit: Blackbird is riding Friday too.

Can't wait to see the cherry picked guests.

Lol don't even joke about it. 🙈😱

Robson is hoping to be back Friday although as much as I like the guy, he's not going to be able to beat any of Swindon's top 5.

King's away form may be inconsistent but at Brandon he has been very good. Will have to be one hell of a cherry pick to replace him if out.

Bet Swindon are quaking in their boots at the thought of his return.

What's going on with this weather forecast??

 

First it says a bit of rain in the morning. Then it says a bit of rain in the afternoon.

 

This morning it showed no rain at all all day. Now it's got it raining in the evening!!!

I have seen 4 different forecasts and none of them say the same which isn't helpful, although 3 predict showers and sun at some point.

Coventry should outscore Swindons reserves every time they meet, thats a HUGE advantage and our top 5 only need to cling on then. You get 22 points just for beating their reserves - if we can't score 30 against their other 5 riders - and you get gifted 9 point in the other 9 heats so you only need to beat their top 5 15 times in 44 attempts.

They will if they stay on their bikes and don't break the tapes!

Exactly. We should have a major advantage at reserve on Friday which should make the difference.

I will say it again why are we relying on our reserves to win the meeting, we would see how good we are if Garrity was missing on Friday. Also it is highly likely that Poole and Kings Lynn will strengthen while we will be left with our head up our A***

another reason why squads wont ever come in , clubs prefer to cherry pick riders as per track ,better off getting a so called track specialist then risking a lot of money on a foreigner whose never rode there...?
