Another inconsistent performance from the Robins tonight. Batch is struggling at the moment - personally I think the GP series is catching up with him a bit. He got very little time to prepare for it and his resources must be stretched to the limit.

Nick has struggled this year and not kicked on as many expected he would - perhaps the new race format has had something to do with this?

 

Many congratulations to Stevie, our Mr Consistent and also to Dak who put in another solid performance.

They're still effectively 4th - they didn't gain anything tonight but didn't lose anything either (and nor did Eastie) :wink:

Swindon are now 5th in table, 2pts behind Eastbourne who have ridden 3 less meetings than Swindon (Eastbourne have depleted Bees team going on sat so that will be another win for them)

Table as it currently stands

 

1. Kings Lynn 56pts. (9 meetings left)

2. Poole 47pts. (10 meetings left)

 

3. Lakeside. 37pts. (11meetings left)

4. Eastbourne. 36pts. (12 meetings)

5. Swindon. 34pts. (9 meetings)

6. Coventry. 30pts. (14 meetings)

 

Lakeside: 4 home, 7 away

Eastbourne : 4 home, 8 away

Swindon : 5 home, 4 away

Coventry : 8 home, 6 away

Must admit, I was a little worried that Eastbourne might struggle with the loss of Lewis. I said to my son before the match, we will need Joonas to find some form to cover for the points that we drop through Lewis. And he did!!

 

I thought that Davey Watt looked better than his points suggested. Certainly two of his races we the races of the night as he through everything at trying to get past.

Steve Worrel was excellent and it was a real shame we didnt have Lewis as they could have been some good clashes.

 

I am not sure Swindon are the ones to take 4th off of us, I think the best chance of that lies with Coventry and unfortunately, I think they will do it unless we can pick up an away win or two. I have forgotten what that is like!

Eastbourne should get full home points on Sat as the bees once again are coming with depleted team as no Harris, Howarth or Garrity.

Us and Coventry will make up the top 4 in my opinion because I just cant see Eastie or Lakeside winning away from home whilst on the other hand I can see us and Coventry picking up points on the road.

Looking at away form so far

 

Cov have picked up 15 away points including away wins over Poole, Swindon, Wolves & Leicester.

 

Swindon have 13 away points with wins over leicester, Cov & Belle Vue

 

Eastbourne have 3 away points but no away wins (just a point from Swindon, Leicester, lakeside)

 

Lakeside have 4 away points but no away win (drew at Belle Vue)

Eastie, Lakeside, Wolves and Lynn at home for us. Away we have Coventry, Lynn and not sure about the rest. We always go well around your place and tbh we should of beaten Lynn at Lynn earlier in the season on Sky.

Swindon home meetings

Kings Lynn, Lakeside, Wolves, Coventry, Eastbourne

Swindon Away meetings

Kings Lynn, Coventry, Leicester, BV

Looking at that, I'd have Swindon down for about 55 points while Coventry I think can get 60. Poole probably 60ish too. While Eastbourne and Lakeside I can see as getting about 50. TBH, having just worked it out I think Coventry have quite a lot of breathing space.

You sure as I can see Eastbourne winning on Thursday in a meeting that could be decided on the guests for Killer & Blackbird,

Coventry are the only team who can stop a Kings Lynn vs. Poole final for me.

Depends who Lynn pick. They'll surely take one of Coventry or Poole. You'd think they'd let Coventry sort out Poole - which I think we should do. Leaving a Lynn/Coventry final. TBH, it's all a bit irrelevant, I just can't see past Lynn in the play-offs unless Kerr gets injured in heat 2 of one of the legs.
