Make up your mind. We aren't anywhere near a play off place but Leicester is a must win match for our play off hopes????? What I get is that at this stage only Bees, Poole Stars look near nailed on top 4 places come September. To rule out any team (Wolves included ) at the end of May is plain ludicrous. You can put a good argument in for Swindon, Belle Vue and Wolves with 3 months left to fight for a top 4 spot. Although I think any argument in favour of Lakeside or Leicester may be stretching it a little. The next 2 matches may give us a better idea of where we are currently at. However 2 key injuries could have a huge bearing on the short - mid term chances. RR is best for Tobby (yet the management seem happy to go down the inadequate guest route. Blackbird will be a huge miss because whilst Garrity is a like for like replacement Saturday we got away with a inferior replacement (Williamson) last Monday. Against the Robins we must get BOTH replacements right on Monday.

Well done to the Aces in becoming the latest team to win at one of the 2 poorer sides this year. Certainly puts them back in contention.

I was referring to the league table.

Surely it should be Cov win with ease, Havvy still moans about biased refs! Given that both teams have taken each others records at home this could go either way. Without Hans I'm favouring a narrow home Loss. 44-46

Surely this is a match the Aces should be targeting for all 4 points if they have serious ambitions of the top 4 thus season

Don't be disappointed if you don't. There is a first for everything I suppose. exactly. Of course that's the most important thing. Right now not many rate either of our chances. It's no wonder you and I can see something different in our sides chances. as for your Swindon are better comment - perhaps wait till the play offs to make such claims. ;-) Best try catch up then.

Think the 'pants' comment has already been proven to be a silly one. An away average of 6.19 shows the truth which is by any definition not pants.

It's one more than Swindon who are supposed to be better than us; -)

Absolutely vital, but then it always is. right now we have the edge given we have already won away once. Swindon's match in hand means nothing unless they can get a win on the road. Maybe when they do they might look like top 4 contenders. Me and you both!

Time will tell.

Obviously The point is that at THIS stage of the season teams looking to be in the top 4 should be winning at those teams are struggling. Which was the whole point I was making before it was twisted to suit.

Just conveniently ignore the 'we have been top 4 virtually all season' part. Funny that

An away average of 6.19 is not pants.

An average of 6.19 isn't pants.

We have been in the top 4 most of the season so we clearly are better than the teams stuck at the bottom end. And you have only just moved into 4th last night I agree on paper Leicester look the strongest they have all season. However they are adrift at the bottom for a reason. Thought it was a little odd that Musielak was announced as making a comeback on Monday. Can't see any logical reason why he can't ride on Saturday.

It's the place to win at if you have serious credentials. Top 4 sides should be going there to win, so it's a meeting we should be winning and aiming for.

Another Wolves away win on the cards.

Everybody knows that Doc Bridgetts is the best in the business for track prep. Wolves regularly win gest prepared track award as evidence of that.

First chance I've had to watch this meeting, great entertainment and good advert for the sport. Havvy made himself look rather foolish with his comments about refereeing decisions. 15 against them? Bet that's really harming their chances so far this year NOT. Think it was the right call. Garrity was fully commited to the move and I would expect no different from him - love to watch him. However I think the decision by the ref was right. If you come steaming into a band and unsettle a rider then it's likely you will be the one to go. The Bees deserved a point tho and really should have won. With Hans out the Robins should have smelt blood and stopped the Bees getting anything from the match. Yet to be convinced by the Robins so far this season. Just to add I hope Hans is ok, could have been so much worse.

A predictable comfortable win against a poor Lions team.

Absolutely. Using the Poole logic of course.

Personally I can see Poole picking up a draw with the Stars injuries concerns.

Good point, they aren't. Some are so blinkered when it comes to believing it's only the EL struggles with crowds/finance.

Fair comment. ;-)
