lisa-colette 6,035 Posted August 30, 2021 10 minutes ago, KingoftheTrack said: Wolves should win at home as well but I just worry whether they can cover for Morris with R/R considering Douglas isn't half as good around Monmore as he is on the big tracks. Morris is good for 10+ around Monmore. S. Worrall and Brennan should go much better around Monmore than the NSS as they're more suited to the technical tracks imo. Looking at Nick's last 4 home scores, you could well be right 13, 5, 13, 14 The 5 was vs Peterborough. One of the 13's was vs BV. It might be closer but Wolves should have enough to do it. Surprised Worrall is struggling a bit but apparently he isn' t gating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,824 Posted August 30, 2021 15 hours ago, Rob B said: Morris scored 4 at NSS last time and don’t think ever had a decent meeting there. Lawson a track specialist and ridden the track the last 2 weeks, Wolves lot stronger and can see them winning by 10 at NSS. Morris at least scored 3 times as much last time. At least this dispels the theory that Lawson is a NSS track specialist. would have been a much larger victory with Nick in the side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acef 795 Posted August 30, 2021 Decent speedway meeting. BV with only 4 riders were always going to struggle. I can see it being closer tonight tbf. Bewley will be one of the top 5 riders in the world when he starts to gate consistently. Great track craft and now has some top class equipment. Riding in Poland alongside Tai has brought him forward a million steps. A shame we likely won’t see him in this country next season. Wolves we’re solid through and tho I felt BV had more top end firepower, it didn’t show with Kurtz who had some bad luck if we are being honest. Felt the score would have been closer otherwise. Wright was much improved and seems to be coming into some form before these play offs. BVs issue is clear, the brothers are nowhere near at it and until they sort it out we have no chance. Wolves at a canter for the league IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morris 4 last time, might not have even scored 4 today who knows. NBJ was as poor as we knew he would have been, terrible signing, would have been better off with R/R. Etheridge was unbeaten after 3 riders last week, today didn't beat an opponent. Douglas was the star for Wolves, but he won't score like that tonight at Monmore.

Rob B 1,257 Posted August 30, 2021 Eurosport had a camera there, presume they will show some of the great racing like heats 13 & 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,292 Posted August 30, 2021 Well Lawson made a huge difference didn't he? Good job Morris didn't ride as they would have got three or four more... Dan Bewley v The Opposition... Becoming a bit of common theme that isn't it? Seems to score circa 35%, and more, of the points each match... Good job they have got him... As they cannot rely on anyone else... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,257 Posted August 30, 2021 Heat 4 good race although Kurtz had a bike problem last 2 laps, sounded terrible. Can see Schlein pointing down at something after race. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt he will get another booking for Wolves this year, I would be surprised if he wasn’t on a fixed fee for the match, a lot of riders try that now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves at a canter for the league IMO I don't get this. Stevie is really good form for Poole (not sure he's even had a below par one yet) and with the leagues being that much closer these days, he should be on for at least 6 for BV.

Different tracks in the Premiership , maybe Steve not so good on those? That said he did have an excellent British Final at the NSS.
