Show me where you or anyone else predicted differently. Its been summed up elsewhere. Rosco laughing and joking talking on the mic to the crowd just before the meeting. Doyle admitting afterwards they thought it would be easy. Complacency got Swindon big time. They should have won at a canter but blew up. They should have been on their A game, not their C. Wolves were in the right place mentally and physically. But with that lineup, if Swindon had properly prepared in all aspects before the meeting they should have had a healthy lead to take to Monmore tomorrow. Riss overtook Museilak for gods sake! OK he fell but it shows the difference between the two teams attitude.

Think we have seen exactly the same as in Sweden, only the underdogs got the away leg first over here. Rosco was pretty poor on camera. Don't think he gets on well with Adams. No matter how you look at it, Swindon choked worse than any other club in playoff history. The whole team was completely awol in the first half and they stemmed the flow with having the run of 2-4 in the middle, then in 13 and 15. 2 and 4 so much better than 1-3. Poor meeting racing wise. 9 races settled after the second bend. The suprise of the scoreline keeping it interesting. Can Swindon turn it around? Doubt it but you never know. Doubt Adams will allow for complacency in the ranks.

Nobody. Doyle riding for himself, not his teams. Wants to be WC and who can blame him? He won't take risks. Rosco talking the talk that it isn't over. But you can hear the disappointment in his voice. As a neutral(yes really I am) it would be great fun for Swindon to come back and give Wolves fans a big squeaky bum. It was the biggest choke in playoff history. Swindon were virtually full strength at home. They should never have given that weak Wolves lineup a sniff.

43 47 job completely done. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect definition of a choke. The Swindon management and riders saw that Lindgren and Thorsell were missing, and like 99% of us on here and other social media, thought it would be a stroll in the park. Swindon believed all they had to do was turn up. Terrible, terrible complacency. However, Wolves riders were fired up to furnace temperatures and just blew a pathetic Swindon effort away. Well done to them. When Poole lost the league in 2010 we had gone off the boil just before the playoffs. Watching Swindon fail to impress last week, I thought the same. I thought Wolves would be champs until they lost their top two. But the rest are clearly fired up and I don't see Swindon getting close at Monmore.
