Coventry V Swindon - 21/08/2015


Recommended Posts

all depends if robbo returns and if he does how fit will he be.

 

how bad is danny kings injury, are the club looking a different direction...

The Bees website says Robbo is out.

 

Sounds like this meeting could decent into a farce. Garrity may have to ride just to take the 3 gifted points off Swindons possible blank!

Should be a Swindon win tonight, fancy them to go on and win the playoffs now

I think to win the play offs they will have to improve on how they performed at Poole on their last performance as I still think over two legs, the Pirates might Nick it.

Having moaned about Kings Lynn improving their team with Lindgren i'm assuming Coventry fans won't mind Walasek improving their team!

Hans has a higher 2015 average than Walasek. Lindgren has a higher 2015 average than Milik. At least we have replaced someone who has ridden as a heat leader all year with someone else who has ridden as heat leader to get his average. Miliks average is about 85% second string achieved. But, they're the rules, and tbf to Lynn, Milik replace the unlucky Rory Schlein who was averaging about 9 with bonus points this season.

Are Robins still with 6 riders at the moment? Shows the farcical nature of the reserves on evenings like tonight towards the end of the season. Riders either unavailable or not interested in riding Elite despite being on the list. If we had Charles & Robert I would fancy us to go close but going to the Bees and giving them a head start is going to be too much I feel.

I have a feeling it could be two six man teams

If Garrity is out then Coventry will also be a 6 man team as even less time to find a guest

 

This wouldn't be a first for bees though. I remember last season against table topping King's Lynn when Garrity was injured and NO rider was available to guest from the whole list. Coventry asked BSPA if they could use Luke Priest and have him added to the bottom of the draft. We were already using RR for a heat leader but as the meeting was due to start King's Lynn's manager put in a dispute and bees had to race with just 5 riders and 3 races with no rider in.

And yet we still won convincingly! Proves it can be done still with the right team although not ideal.

Hoping we don't see either team turn up with a 6 man team. Shame as this on paper had makings of a great meeting before if not for injuries & unreliable fast draft system
