thecoombdog 2,367 Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) never get over confident when riding a poole team .But on paper obvious swindon will be favourites poole got one of the best captains in the premiership looking forward to itIm far from over confident but I think we will go through. Im not gonna be like these Poole fans who think every win is against the odds and say we are underdogs all the time as its not true in this case. Where is Brandon Bob? Thought we would have had his thoughts by now about how Swindon are lucky and they will beat us easy. Bob?! Edited September 6, 2017 by thecoombdog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tric trac 53 Posted September 6, 2017 Poole 44-45 swindon Two riders will have an e/f in heat 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted September 6, 2017 If it means winning the tie he'll do it. Hes batting for Swindon. Seem to remember a lot of Poole fans a few days ago hoping Starke comes down with something allowing Newman in for him. Poole will be favorites to win at home just depends how much of a lead they can get. Poole again meeting a team at the right time........no Zach, BWD not fit and Bellego out of form 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted September 6, 2017 This who semi final depends on two riders for Poole. Starke and Shanes. Shanes should have Davey for fun and if he matches his scores of 4/5 in last few meetings could keep us in it at Swindon. Starke will be practicing and hopefully some rest does him the world of good and if he gets back to his 7/8 points at reserve could be the balance of the matches. We have always done well in the playoffs due to our reserves so we need them to stand up once again if we are to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted September 6, 2017 I've seen both Poole and Swindon at Somerset in recent weeks and Swindon are the better side. However, the fight and desire Poole showed with their backs against the wall at the OTA means in my opinion this will be a very tight two legged affair. Robins to win over the two legs but my fear is the likes of Doyle and Morris are always likely to do something bizarre like get excluded at a crucial time, which will keep the scores much closer. Got a feeling it will be a last heat decider at Blunsdon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
