Coventry V Swindon - 21/08/2015


Recommended Posts

The weather forecast keeps changing, but is staying just about acceptable so I may well go to this if all goes to plan.

 

Going in the top 5, Swindon are more than a match for them there Bees, but it's those reserves again. It's those reserves! Top scorer in the British final verses our own honest, hard trying FTR pair doesn't auger well.

 

Bees should win due to their bottom end strength, but our top end strength should hopefully get us a point.

 

I predict a decent crowd, because Bees fans love our Darcy.

Both of Swindon's reserves are missing due to PL clashes so guests may be a bonus for the Robins.

 

Coventry are without Hans Andersen and with his average now 6+ there will not be many suitable replacements.

Bees could be without Robson (and our usual guest Summers is now unavailable😉)

 

Haha love your joke about bees fans loving Ward (and don't forget his unnamed partner in crime), however Zengota will get a great reception, as he did when he returned to Brandon with Belle Vue earlier this season.

 

I'm going to wait to see the team lineups before making a prediction, although Swindon will be strong at Brandon with 3 ex bees on our track.

I think the replacements for Hans and Robbo will have a big bearing on the result, could easily be an away win and a guaranteed max for Darcy.

Not sure guests at reserve will make a difference either way. We just need to swallow up the reserve points and send agent Andersen out on a mission.

No Hans? Why not?

Hans wasn't on a mission last time he guested for you.

Hans is riding in the Danish Final so will just be a 6+ rider for him 😕

Yes he was. His mission was to deter all the silly cheating accusations by scoring less than Nick Morris would have.

Surely R/R would be better

Walasek would be good as rides Brandon well.

Solid scores on his two visits this year

 

Risk with RR is King & Garrity both riding injured, sarjeant in poor form & no idea if guest for Robson.

If we're going to go with R/R then you go R/R for Robbo as replacements for Robbo would be Garrity (x3 - technically Sarj has to have 1 of them but Garrity will get Sarjs ride) and the Hans guest. Where as R/R for Hans would mean a ride Garrity (x2), the 4.5 PL guest and King. Basically the same level of riders. But by having a guest for Hans rather than Robbo you get a better guest by over 2 points - You're basically asking, do you want Matej Kus or Greg Walasek to guest!

Well isn't that just typical. Trying to find a good guest and R/R to help you win. Cheating Bees.

Four. Morris, Zengi, Summers and Batchelor.

 

Lindgren wouldn't be a bad shout as a guest for Hans

 

I'd rather have Thorsell

 

Agree Thorssell usually goes well around Brandon. I'd say there must be plenty of options available to guest for Hans. I'd agree with SCB go r/r for Robbo.

Lindgren? Bjerre? Cook?

Did someone really suggest thorssel as a better option than lindgren?

Yes scored 13 on last visit Freddie got 6+1 both from 5 rides

 

Lindgren? Bjerre? Cook?

 

God when was the last time Cook rode at Brandon.
