Louis is deluded if he thought besides Kings Lynn the other 2 away matches they should have won. They would never get a better chance to win away at Wolves on Monday again, taking control till mid way thru. This is the problem with the Witches side away from home and I can’t see them taking a win without some luck. They just down have the firepower when it counts. It will be the same if both reserves move into the main team, strong reserves no end meeting strength. That said, they aren’t the cannon fodder everybody said they would be and for that reason it’s very welcome to see.

BT3 Saturday 5.30pm

I think it only affects riders who didn’t qualify for a 3 point average at the start of the year. Kemp was an assessed 2 in the Championship? Probably qualifies once he has a true average. Id be amazed if Bacons true championship average allows him to replace Shanes, however with the way the rolling averages are worked out means anything is possible!

A rider of a similar standard yes. Another to try get sacked.

Interesting interview with Bewley after the match saying it isn’t confidence away from home just that he isn’t scoring well yet. It wouldn’t be a surprised if he was tentative on other tracks but appears that isn’t the case. Great personal meeting for the lad.

Who is playing down Wolves chances? Not me. Wolves like Swindon have the best teams on paper. Wolves haven’t looked all that convincing yet but I fully expect them to be in the top 4 come the play offs. Swindon as a team are firing better than anyone else so I’m sure the fans and management are delighted with that. As previously stated titles aren’t won on form in April.

And in other news another away meeting and another point gained. You have to feel worried if Swindon are ‘over-rated’ as no team comes close to them so far. If one of the reserves click or changes are made then it’s nearly full advantage the Robins. Another good result for the Robins.

Close to mid way thru but as expected the predicted result, and its not going to get better for the Panthers if they give away 3 points in the averages after May 1st. Bewley looking close to back to his best, certainly at the NSS.

Looks like the track was too deep early on, certainly played into Ippo’s favour. Fair result from the Witches who were still in with the shout for a league point at the last race. once again their reserves were brilliant and 19 to 8 were most definitely their strength. Becker still managed a win but had an ordinary night - which is only to be expected. Masters coming to the table late on saved us possibly giving away a losing point. Harris and Lawson shocking scores.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/motorsport/48037399 No real mention of track conditions but whatever is happening is certainly working in Witches favour.

Yes I saw that last night which is great news although I’m sure a decision is already made on what the management will be doing.

Depends who asks and what the BSPA decide. His last average with Wolves was 7.32. If Wolves wanted to use him you can bet it won’t be that.

They have 3 extra points to play with till 1st May. Who isn’t to say these deals aren’t already done? Clueless post alert. You just need to know the difference between 1st May and before it.

I’m not sure what’s Wolves promotion are planning and maybe things will become clearer after Monday night. Thorssell appears to be ready to come back and Wolves would be foolish to lose his starting average points which they will after 1st May if they redeclare with Nicholls. That would be really silly move. The issue appears around Morris as to what’s happening with his injury and how much longer he has. Nicholls could technically be a short term replacement for Morris, although I’m not sure what his current CMA will be but he may now be over the 6.60 of Morris. My take is that Thorssell will be back after Monday, RR continues for Nick with Nicholls released and signs for Peterborough. If I’m right, you heard it here first! Time will tell I guess.

As we know a lot can change between April and September. Rider changes/ringers/ riders out of form/ teams out of form/injuries. So April is unimportant form wise. However if the play offs were next week Swindon would be odds on favourites due to them taking points on the road and not losing at home. No other team comes close on form. And no one can really dispute that either. However as we know titles are won in September so what happens now will have only a small outcome in September. i fully expect Swindon to be there along with Wolves, whilst I’d assume Poole and Belle Vue will as well. Let’s see how the season pans before we totally write someone off or make them outstanding favourites.

Be more if the Spoons didn’t dominate the rest.

I fully expect Heeps to score well, so it will be good to see how he goes against our American wonderkid.

You can use the same argument for Swindon drawing their opening home match as well. Even if you reverse that 5 point swing Poole would have still lost 42-48 at home. Like ive said you can only go on what has happened so far. Swindon are by far the most consistent team so far this season. Without question.

Apologies, of course it was. I’ve deleted the post as it’s not a valid one.

Should be a fairly comfortable win for Wolves although Ipswich have riders that can ride Minmore well. Heeps has started the season well and will want to prove a point to the Wolves promotion. Bomber can be superb at Monmore also. So far they are already proving the doubters wrong but not sure if they will be able to take any points on the road. Thoughts?

You don’t have to see it, facts show what I’m saying. swindon drew at home on their first match on the new track, and have taken points from all their away meetings. No other team comes close to that, particularly Poole who were massacred at home. Swindon have already taken a point at Wolves with Lampart, despite gating and on the pace, couldn’t hold positions. So far they have already clicked together well enough to start the season more impressive than any other team so far. That really isn’t a point that anyone can dispute! We can only go on what has happened so far, the rest is speculative.

It would be a rare thing i grant you!

As I said. No other team has had the consistent start to the season that Swindon have had.

Porky at Wolves does the last lap commentary which adds to the excitement. I wouldn’t want any other laps commented on tho. The only benefit would be to give any newbies an idea what’s happening and whose who during the race.

But no other team has lost by 16 at home however. Would be equally as impressive if only your home record didn’t let you down!
