El Play Off Final 2nd Leg - Poole V Coventry Monday 20th October 2014


Recommended Posts

I'm predicting a full 15 heats, decent weather, a well prepared track and some fireworks at the end if Poole win.....which they will do so yes fireworks and champagne all ready.

It could be.. So given that Coventry are only 3 points down, how many Coventry fans are coming down for this ?

Given I predicted a draw for Friday and Coventry to win by two (which won't be quite enough now of course) on Monday I very much feel it is all to play for so I'll be heading down for sure!

I think the meeting will be too close to call. We have Cov with a load of track specialists, and Poole with two guests who are not as good as the riders they are replacing.. I hope they will up their game lets hope for a good meeting on a good track, and hopefully a Poole win

Just think though. If Coventry didn't have Ben Barker in the team they could be 6-10 points up now!

Never mind blaming Barker, what about your number one? Three points on his home track? He blamed the fact that he had not been on a bike for two weeks, but how long had Barker been off,not to mentioned being injured? They both have the chance to put things right tomorrow.

Some of us said Barker was a poor signing. Some, I don't know, maybe you? defended it. So far it's been a disaster except for the meeting at BV the first time and at Swindon last week.

 

Hans has been off form but I don't remember anyone naming checking me and getting a dig in about that only for them to end up being wrong.

 

Still, if Barker scores 12 from 4 or 13+ from 5 you can have the last laugh can't you.

This is very to close to call and I fully expect Coventry to try and hit us hard from heat one.

 

If Hans is on form then he could well swing it?

 

I'm looking forward to the meeting but the butterflies are starting to kick in already!

 

Lets hope for a great meeting and may the best team win.....And if that's Coventry, then I hope that includes the full firework display to go with the trophy :lol:

any other reason apart from the fact that ford is a real bad loser.....

sorry, but this is just a silly post. It has nothing to do with this final.

 

What has this to do with this years final.

 

May the best team win tomorrow and I trust there will be good racing.

I applauded Coventry for getting rid of MJJ. Some seemed to think that he was the Messiah, rather than the 6.5 rider that he actually was. You pointed out what a bad signing Barker was because there were no decent guests available for him. Well, there was a good guest available, and Coventry are in the final.

I wouldnt worry too much about Troy, seemed up for it at coventry although probably didnt endear too many bees fans putting his hand to his ear after getting a 5-1 with janowski. Morris is a different matter though and wouldnt have been my choice, rather have cook although I have always thought you cant have enough aussies in your team!!

Bet a lot of Swindon fans would have rather he got 5-1s for them in the semi. Batchelor and Morris should be okay tomorrow as the track should be dry without any shale, how they like it.

Dry with shale actually :rolleyes:

Really? Swindon was too wet. Coventry had too much dirt. For once I think mdmc82 is right.

I'm hopefully of 4 or 5. Im expecting 1 or 2. in the same way I'm hopeful of a Bees win but I'm expecting us to fall just short, I can see a 4-6 point loss. If we can get a 5-1 in heat 1 and the form Kyle is on should make it a good shout, until you look at Hans' form. Jase to rough up Kyle in heat 2 and even allowing for barker being in 3 we should still be leading and are able to take each heat as it comes. If we don't get 5-1, 4-2, 3-3 in the first 3 I dont hold out much hope
