Swindon V. Poole (ela) - Moved To Bank Holiday Monday 30th May At 4.00 Pm

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Time to revive this thread now its getting closer.

 

After Pooles defeat on Monday its not looking good to get anything out of this meeting. Swindon ripped Belle Vue apart and they could well do the same to us on Monday afternoon. Pirates on paper look strong but meetings are not won on paper and on track the team have yet to click at all.

 

Swindon has never been a good hunting ground and we often come away just missing out on the bonus point for keeping it close.

 

Not sure if Buckowski is back but we missed him badly on Monday and a guest is not likely to do better, as was shown against Belle Vue.

 

49-41.

Hmmmm, Swindon will get 3 league points and we will get 0. But the actual score is harder to predict. I'll go for 52-40 to Swindon.

Trouble is Steve nobody believes us when we say he will be missed and could cost us the meeting, he is a vital cog and riding very well at the moment, added to the fact that a lot of teams are riding monday and guests could be difficult to get.

The side you have put together and strengthened further with Bjawny should be able to compensate for losing Buzz surely?

[EnglishRoundabout 1,752]

Buzz is good for double figures at Blinsdon, so if he's missing it will be a loss for Poole. Furthermore, Pedersen has had superb meetings at Swindon (as well as some howlers) and as Shocker says, he definitely strengthens the Pirates overall.

 

As ever, Swindon v Poole is always difficult to predict, but I'm going for a top class meeting (if the weather stays good), a massive crowd, and a pulsating draw!

[scottyfan 824]

Easy home win by at least 12-14 points.

For once a prediction I agree with!!

[Skidder1 7,637]

Poole will be at full strength (subject to anything untoward over the weekend!!) with our 'top 3' (Hans, Chris and Buzz) back in their heat leader positions.

 

Ellis and Pedersen as 2nd strings

 

Kurtz and Newman at reserve.

 

Swindon's top 3 will hopefully be Doyle, Tungate and Sedgman; with Wright and Nielsen back in their original EDR positions.

Rohan and Justin could be an issue at heat leader but then we have the power of Josh and Nick at 2 and 4.

Will see how Jason and Rohan go tonight following their accidents.

Cant wait until Monday ORLOV ,should be a nice bank holiday afternoon. Just like the good Ole' Days loved the bank holiday double headers great stuff.Dunno what you think A.O but i hate these changes different reserves keeping up with the averages is hard work.😀 Edited May 26, 2016 by Sidney the robin

No absolutely not. Bjarne is part of the team as is every other rider but the loss of one of our top scorers certainly cost us big time on Monday. A guest is not going to cover for him. And who will be available on Monday?

 

Not making excuses just saying it as it is.

 

As for the weather the BBC are currently saying they cant predict it yet as it is uncertain what is going to happen with the weather patterns. Could be heavy thundery rain or a bright sunny day.

Skidder has just said Buzz should be riding, so nothing to worry about!

[poole keith 911]

brady kurtz has to be possible match winner

With that line up Skidder i think it will be really close,Bucks is the key if he gets 10 plus i think Poole will score 40 plus.Holder has to be on his game though, heat two looks a great race Nielsen,Wright,Kurtz,Newman can't wait may the best team win.
