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

[YerRopes 3,009]

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

 

Such a worn out record, every away meeting you predict defeat for the almighty Pirates..

 

Surely super Poole can compensate for Buzz who was a second string at the start of the season, especially as both Bjarne and Hans are 'track specialists' at Blunsdon..

 

So, cheer up and approach the meeting with positivity and a smile..as after all we have poor Rohan struggling big time..

 

Swindon 42-48 Poole

No, he was a reserve mate...

I think it was said tongue in cheek Sid.

No we can't compensate, he is vital but hopefully he won't be missing. Riders like Tungate should not be allowed to be heat leaders, they should be restricted to second strings, it is too damaging to their confidence and takes them ages to get it back, it is too big a jump.

You are right if Buzz does not ride it is a certain home win hate this nonsense every two weeks riders changing positions.In the 80s i think it was a full month before the averages kicked in simple how hard is that? speedway in England is so Micky mouse. Edited May 26, 2016 by Sidney the robin

Some of you are talking as if he's Gollob in his heyday! It's Buzzfingy fgs

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!

Double figures? ya think? based on what?

Rohan should ride where his average puts him as the British FDR riders have had to do it.

His liking for big tracks, previous decent performances at Blunsdon and more importantly his general EL form this season? I may be wrong, but I have a hunch he will do well on Monday.

So the same as saying no Nick morris. Surely Swindon can compensate? Well they have Tungate.

Just to put things in a little bit of perspective, Poole have just been well beaten at home and haven't won away yet this season - however 'strong' they appear to be on paper!!

 

Matt Ford has lambasted the team for 'moaning and underperforming' (in today's local Echo - not yet in the online version so you'll have to take my word for it for the moment), telling the riders/team to 'SORT IT OUT'....'NO MORE EXCUSES'....'PUT UP AND SHUT UP'!!

 

Whilst also accepting that the track was not up to scratch on Monday and work is being done 'to make sure we give them the best surface possible in light of the conditions that get thrown at us!'

 

I'll put the link up as soon as its online - unless someone gets to it first.
