Wolverhampton V Swindon 10-8-15


Recommended Posts

Swindon are clearly stronger with Bomber in for Nick but I still think it will be a great win if that happens tonight.

A great win ? Seriously ? With a team strengthened by a guest like Harris ? That is Swindon mentality. All these unbalanced teams are doing (and the rules that allow it) is ultimately driving more punters from the sport. A great win or a hollow victory depending on your standpoint but level playing field it ain't, and that is what p's many fans off.

Did I hear someone say Lindgren back to form?

One week wonder.

Hopeless as expected.

Shouldn't think he will be there next season. Mind, nor should best part of your team.

Are you for real , so we got Harris this time ,we've had Hans and he's been shocking , so Morris ain't riding ,do u not know how well Morris was riding for Swindon , he's been superb so why shouldn't we have a rider who's scores reflect the same average , its not as tho we've brought in Harris for a reserve , Morris was riding at No 1 before Ward came along

Morris isn't very good at Wolves is the point I think is being made. However Poole did the same when they brought in Rory against us at Brandon and he scored 12+2, Yes it does make them stronger but it is in the rulebook so most clubs would do the same.

I have also stated that Bomber makes us stronger but that is the way with guests & has been the way since I started going in 1974.

Totally missed the point of the post. As I said , great win or hollow victory depends on your standpoint but this sort of mis match is hardly likely to bring the crowds flooding in.

So presumably Lakeside never use guests then? Nick Morris has been exceptional this year, and his average reflects that.

 

With regards to using Harris, it's not Swindon's fault that Coventry's top 2 have been dropping their averages.

Why is it not level playing field last time I looked all teams build to the same average ...Lakeside has been strengthened by North tonight as a guest ..what do you want teams to do replace injured riders with worst guests .

All this 'Swindon mentality' you go on about is complete and utter bollocks..

 

I thought you were better than this Custer, after all you got M Bech on a very competitive average..

 

Sad post from a bad loser I would suggest :t:

Always been the same as White City did with Dag Lovaas for a whole season & Oxford did with Lukas Dryml for 3/4's of a season.

 

Horses for courses guests helped Poole win the league as well not long ago.

If he wants to be in the EL next year we would be foolish to not use him next season. So long as it's not as a number one.

Absolutely, that is not in dispute . However at Wolves Harris is the much better option, no dispute.

No doubt about it Steve ..but what other team including Wolves would have not done the same ?

Wolves beat Poole and KL at Monmore and twice fail to beat Swindon :t:

In fairness to King's Lynn they only just lost and that was the day after Kerr's accident and against 2 reserves. Not sure how Poole failed to beat Wolves this year.

 

The race just opened up even more as King's Lynn now drop to 5th
