King is having rest of the week off so now need a guest for him as well. Big loss for Coventry as he has been one of our best riders at home 😕 Coventry will only have Harris & JK from their top 5

In fairness I haven't seen many on Twitter either who think he should have been excluded

I will ask Neil Watson the same question I asked yesterday. Do you honestly think we are strong enough to make the final, let alone win it? What was very clear tonight is we have no number 1. Hans has been terrible this season and the others aren't number ones although they all have scored well this season. Even with Robson back he is still a 4pt rider. Why are our management the only ones that can't see that!!! Even if they won't get a rider like Mikkel or Buzz, then Howarth has shown he wants to return.

He made a huge difference as Milik wouldn't have scored anywhere near double figures

Esp when 2 points were from fencing his own rider Surely if the ref was unhappy with sarj start the red light should of been put on before the first corner bunching happened, that way he can't exclude Garrity. If he decided to exclude Garrity then it means he wasn't going to pull the race back

Exactly

Coventry were robbed in heat 12 😡😡😡😡Hans fencing his team mate didn't help either and was no better as a second string. Same Garrity injured or could have took his ride. Not convinced that Milik couldn't have been there. Wonder if Watson now sees the need for change. Sadly I doubt he does. Granted this isn't one of our best tracks but we were out classed tonight. This is one of the worst we have ridden.

Lindgren, NKI and Bjerre in all the remaining heats except 12 so can see us not even getting a point. They will start pulling away now. Wish Milik was riding lolReally tough now King has withdrawn (going to be hard Friday without him at Brandon as one of our best riders there) Kus has tried hard. Yes think a guest would have been better for King. Puts more pressure on a injured Garrity now.

Kus still have 2 rides 🙈 So far the tracks been very gate & go with only 1 pass through a error. Hope it improves.

Completely agree. We don't have a number 1

RR good when you can use riders like Iversen, Bjerre & Lindgren Glad Harris didn't get hurt there, annoyed he threw away a 4-2 possible 5-1 Let's hope he's 2nd bike is set up well 🙈

Lindgren is definitely going to score more tonight than Milik has been. Looked fast. Think Kus is going to score less than Robbo, looked off the pace

Team news for tomorrow SWINDON: Darcy Ward, Aaron Summers, Nick Morris, Grzegorz Zengota, Troy Batchelor, Charles Wright, Darryl Ritchings. KINGS LYNN: Niels-Kristian Iversen, Nicklas Porsing, Freddie Lindgren, Kenneth Bjerre, Dakota North, Lewis Blackbird, Ashley Morris. View Full Site

Yes Storm are riding on the 4th with Leicester possibly the other meeting

I would be happy with that Gater1 but think King's Lynn will be too strong at home esp with Lindgren in for Milik & Garrity not fit. Predicting 50-40

Branford is missing and Ritchings is rumoured to be your guest although nothing officially confirmed yet

The reason the play offs are earlier this year is because of the Australian SGP

Yes it's on the sky sports list as 2nd TBC

So how can Belle Vue stop other teams using their riders or does that not include their reserves? Think people were not having an dig at the club, more wondering why Garrity decided to ride when injured and a busy week ahead, then again this is Garrity we are talking about 😜

FIXTURE UPDATE Wednesday August 19, 2015 COVENTRY'S Elite League 'B' match against Swindon at Brandon will now take place on Wednesday September 2 (7.30pm). The Robins are also at Brandon this Friday, August 21, in the 'A' fixture. Friday September 4 is still intended to be an EL/NL double header with Leicester provisionally the EL opposition. This will be confirmed as soon as possible.

confirmed that the B fixture is now 2nd Sep

Whilst it would be nice to finish top, we all know that it means little when you reach the play offs. To win the title, you still have to beat two of the three teams in the play offs anyway.

You are lucky too. You know get to stage it on Monday at full strength as wasn't Gomolski a doubt tonight. I think King's Lynn will win tonight. They have been stronger than any other team at home this year and have good guests

Would make 3 home meetings in a week if the 4th is one (31st, 2nd, 4th)

Not at all. Just don't think he's anywhere near where Tai or Ward are as some believe
