With the inclusion of JK my prediction changes to

 

1 Poole

2 Coventry

3 K.Lynn

4 B Vue

5 Leicester

6 Swindon

7 L/Side

8 Wolves.

 

Still think Poole will win the P/Off's though

Assuming Poole sign Magic and Gomolski then I'll go with

 

Kings Lynn

Belle Vue

Poole

Leicester

Swindon

Coventry

Lakeside

Wolves

 

And Coventry fans are going to get excited as we'll do well initially as we're going to beat Wolves home and away which will mean any changes to improve the team won't happen as we'll look better than we are.

With the signing of Kylamkorpi I'll stick Coventry in 2nd and shuffle everyone down 1. Already looking dodgy after the Lynn/Poole EL Sheild.

Hopefully we'll do our peaking at the business end of the season this year rather than doing so far too early.

Sticking with my original post but not too sure about Wooden Spoons as I am sure there will POSSIBLY be changes during the season with possibly Kildemand and Woffinden returning to their parent tracks and with the number of fixture clashes, Lakeside could be in trouble if they dont win all their home matches.

its interesting to look at the early predictions we made and how the season has shaped up so far after 2 months.

 

It's no surprise to me that Leicester & Lakeside are at the bottom as both teams looked very poor on paper early on. However Wolves have been a lot better than I would have predicted them to.

Do you still stand by this?

Difficult to now but I stand by the fact that they could have been, think I posted as much on the 'Oh well there's always next season!' thread. I thought Ellis would kick on and Birks might rediscover his pre - injury form of 2013 but it hasn't turned out that way. Really liked the look of the pairing on paper though.

Birks and Ellis were always going to be the weakest pairing while Garrity and Sarjeant always looked the strongest and so that has been proved but I am pleased with the Wolves pairing of Blackbird and Bates although they do both seem a bit inconsistant at the moment.

 

My original predictions are going well but with Wolves possibly having four points to play with soon and a certain World Class rider looking for a team place soon I hope Wolves are ruthless and make changes required and prove me wrong in saying they wont be in the top four at the end

Looking at the pre season prediction at the start of the season, it seems CVS & Pete Adams were the only people who couldn't see how week the Wolves team was on paper.

 

It now looks like a 2 team race for the 4th spot in the play offs (although nobody is mathematically in them yet)

 

Swindon have only 5 home meetings left (Poole,Coventry,King's Lynn,Leicester, Lakeside)

 

However they are yet to pick up a win away from home so will need a few along the way. They still have 10 away fixtures to come so have a good chance of getting something (Leicester, Wolverhampton twice, Coventry twice, Lakeside, Poole twice, Belle Vue, King's Lynn)

 

Belle Vue have a good home record and have only not won twice so far, both times to Coventry. They still have 8 home meetings left (Poole, Swindon, king's Lynn, Lakeside twice, Leicester, Wolves)

They have picked up 10 away points so far but now only have 4 away meetings left (Poole, King's Lynn, Wolves, Lakeside )

 

I think if Swindon can start to pick up points on the road then they would make them favourites for me to make the play offs, esp when you look at how away points have shaped the table so far:

 

Coventry 26pts

Poole 21pts

King's Lynn 8pts

Belle Vue 10pts

Swindon 1pt

Lakeside. 1pt

Wolves 3pts

Leicester. 0pts

Wrong straight away. We are away at lakeside next friday and we have raced Leicester twice away already.

 

Also u say you think Swindon will make top 4 but on another thread said ward will drop his average meaning u think Swindon will be worse off with ward.

 

Make ya mind up ;)

Sorry edited it, was meant to say Lakeside not Leicester.

 

I still think Swindon will be strong enough. I think looking at Belle Vue's remaining fixtures I think they could have some losses at home and struggle for some points away. I hope I'm wrong, as I said it's just my opinion

As Kildemand stepped in, Morris has been sensational and now they are likely to include Darcy Ward I would like to appologise for thinking the Robins were going to struggle and finish bottom and as a Wolves fan I am just happy Lakeside and Leicester are still helping us avoid that honour ;)

 

Otherwise pretty pleased with the initial predictions

I fail to see why an apology is needed, predictions are based on the 1-7 pre season, Swindon have indeed strengthened and I now fancy them to beat us for the 4th place but as we all know injuries play a big part in speedway, and that can still happen to any team.
