A Lynn win would be great, but going through, even with a loss, without any injuries must be the aim. I have said in other posts I think the Stars peaked a little to soon. I know about the 1st leg, but it was that awesome night from MPT that made the difference, probably not to be repeated. Although I know all the boys were giving it 100%. I can’t see how you believe the Stars have peaked? They are the one team that has had the best run in to the Play Offs. Lots of meetings, lots of wins should breed plenty of confidence. Only Poole are anything like as in form as the Stars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much better to have something to watch on the big screen than large gaps after each race with nothing going on. No big screen at poole so I'm led to believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might just be me and squeaky bum time Brum.Lynn fans ain't used to it but I feel the engine room has gone off the boil a tad. Should be fine at home tonight. Not sure if Ty is 100% fit either. Last 3 meetings Swindon v Lynn Erik 0 ,0, 3, 2, 0 =5 ……… TJ 0,1,R ,2 , 1 =4, R/R Ty Lynn v Swindon Erik 1, 1, 3, 3, 2,0, 1, 3 =13 …. TJ 2, 0,1,0, 1 =4 R/R Ty BV V Lynn Erik 1, 0, 1, 1 =3 …. TJ 1, 1, RS, 2 =4 Ty 2,FD, 1, RS = 3 As I say , it might be just me, but Erik away and TJ everywhere lately are a bit of a worry I think. And is Ty fit.

It’s understandable to be a bit squeaky bum at the moment. For me the Stars have the look of title winners to me and I really hope that proves to be the case. You will have earned it this year. Always felt you had terrible luck with injuries in the past when looking like front runners early doors. Good luck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted October 1, 2018 Riss and Jorgensen have really gone off the boil a bit I agree. If they're the same tonight we're then relying on Simon Lambert to turn it on. Even 16 points from MPT wouldn't save us. If Robert has a duff one we'll need Iversen to come to the party and he's been inconsistent at home. If Belle Vue can hit us early again then that may rattle the home side. Regardless of the teams, Play-Off Speedway throws up a random result now and again. If the Stars go into this meeting thinking it's done, they'll be beaten. We need to go into this meeting early on like the scores are 0-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted October 1, 2018 I cant believe the Stars will go in to this being anything else but dialled in. They know the importance of a good start and to apply more pressure on BV than there is already. Bringing in Musielak is an astute guest and without doubt make them stronger this time round, but don't lets under estimate how good the Stars can be at home. I see this being a hard fought match with Belle Vue trying but unable to claw their back in the tie. Most of our riders are capable of winning races I can see Robert leading them to victory by heat 13..... (Think that could be the heart ruling the brain), but winning is all that matters.... Cant wait for the fun to start..... 1 hour ago, ray c said: No big screen at poole so I'm led to believe Am I right in assuming the other semi-final can to shown on the big screen at AFA ??
