Totally agree. Jack has had a reality check this year with more pressure at number one for the Colts and just how tough Speedway can be by being let down badly by the 2nd tier teams. credit to Swindon for sticking with him. He isn’t there to score 3 or 4 points , that’s the job of the much stronger number 6. That’s what you get when you sign a 2 pointer, it gives more options higher up the team. had the pleasure of watching Jack in his first full year in the sport and has progressed rapidly since then. This year I agree he has stalled. In the top flight he doesn’t have many other NL standard riders to race against. I just hope he sees this as experience as that’s really all it is.

They can still mathematically make it but don’t expect they will.

Exactly! It’s almost like no one wants 1st pick tho. seems pretty easy to me, whoever finishes top will pick Belle Vue or Swindon who are by far the weakest of the other teams. just seems odd results happening this week.

Bizzare result after 11 out of 12 wins for the Stars up till now. seems nobody wants to be top of the table,

There are many reasons why he wouldn’t. The natural one appears to be aggravated back injury which has been reported and we know he has had crashes in recent weeks. Perfectly understandable.

That’s it, you hang on to that 1% chance as your proof. still the result was always going to be the same as I’ve been saying for weeks we never stood a chance. I was right eventually.

I’ve known that for weeks. Would have taken a freak of nature or several away wins for it to be a possible reality. That reality ended after 2 defeats at Kings Lynn. Still, I’m sure it makes some happy to believe we still had a chance. 1% at best.

I stated also that Wolves weren’t good enough to make the play offs and wouldn’t. we had something to ride for technically not realistically. Anyway I know you like to always be right so you must be really happy right now. Do we still have something to race for by the way on Wednesday?

As previously expressed, a result I well and truly expected. Kings Lynn are bang in form right now with 11 out of 12 wins and very much the team to beat. was surprised to see the scores at half way and looked dominant for Wolves but seems their away form seems to have replaced performances at the Green. To be up 10 and then lose by 4 is pretty poor but indicative of our season. Just not good enough. well done the Stars, go on and get the title now. no doubt there will still be those who say we can still make the play offs and everything is still to play for. We haven’t been good enough for 6 weeks now.

We are decent at home and that’s a fair point. We should win at home but with us now needing to win away to even stand a chance of potentially nicking that 4th spot I’d like to see us performing better away leading into the play offs not getting worse! The Stars look really good with Riss now part of the team and I’d favour them over any team right now. Lambert is awesome at the Green, Robert I mean. Puk is a former Wolf and track record holder and Proctor is a Wolves asset with plenty of experience of the track. 1-6 is superb in those positions with only Simon a potential weak link. Ill be massively delighted if Wolves win but won’t be surprised in the slightest if the Stars take all points on offer. They are THE team to beat now and I hope they go on and win the title now. Careful, you will have Bwitcher claiming we are still very much in it and could still make and win the play offs. Back in the real world however you are completely right.

Will be a tough one for Wolves. Sadly think it will be a Stars win but I hope Wolves prove me wrong!

Liar liar pants on fire.

Think it’s called trolling mate, ignore.

We won’t finish bottom but I expect a battle over 5th and 6th with 6th place probably our season end finish. The only way Wolves will win away is if Pirates are on a deliberate average manipulation. That much is for sure.

Comfy win for the Pirates.

It’s the comments of a realist. We have been needing away wins now for the past few weeks to have a chance and the last few results have been terrible. I’d love Wolves to make the top 4, of course I would. We aren’t in very good form and got 3 riders injured or carrying injuries (roo, Nathan, kyle). The likelihood is pretty remote. If we get any points away I might change my mind tho. I really hope that’s the case. Dreadful consequences if it was to go that way

Big difference, teams that have gone on to win the play offs from 4th are usually slap bang in form in September. Huge difference. With respect the Aces had turned a corner before Dan got injured and he is irreplaceable with RR and even if guests were available for 4th rider there isn’t really anyone that could score his points either. Swindon are bang out of form and Wolves are terrible away. That’s why I say the 4th play off team will be fodder.

Aces will do enough to make 4th place, however like any team that limps into 4th place will be cannon fodder.

Keep believing that if you want to. Shame no one told Pete Adams or the riders tho. Shame on you for not reminding them all. Towels already thrown in methinks.

You call it blabbering nonsense, I call it common sense. wolves chances of realistically making the top 4 ended last Wednesday. Feel free to continue to labour your point, realistically I’m right.

You call it shocking, I call it realistic. our away form this year is completely indicative of what we expected from last night. up until last Wednesday I shared your view but the dreadful performances sealed our fate there and then. Mathematically we could still qualify before last night and can still. With Somerset missing key riders last night you would have thought it was a prime chance to get points, check the result to see just how likely our away form will help us make the top 4. whoever makes the top 4 will out of the chasing pack will be complete fodder for the much more inform top 3. If we had turned all those great early first half away matches into at least a point we would be a top 4 side by now. Our away form has put paid to that. You clearly have more faith in the team if you seriously believed we had a chance of getting anything last night never mind still making the top 4. id prefer to keep it realistic.

Seriously, you both think we have or had a cat in hells chance of making the top 4? I’ll have whatever you both were drinking. As plenty have pointed out our away form has been pathetic. In with a chance with many away meetings until the 2nd half then fall away badly. You suddenly believe we are going to start winning away now? We had, realistically no chance since last Wednesday.

Stars are the new form team. Excellent win for them. no one will want to race them in the Semis. My pick for the title now.

We have nothing to ride for so why not?

My only point to the TV companies and casual viewer that Monday was and is Speedway nite, league wise. There is a bigger picture obviously. TV SHOULD have made it a vital night for the sport.
