New Science Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Didn't blow it in my mind.believed we wouldn't win before the meeting and so it proved.We are not good enough to be anywhere near the play-offs.Both of these teams would be beaten by Poole or Belle Vue in the play-offs easily imo And Wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 And Wolves Yeah the 4th placed team will get a double battering whoever they ride in the play off semis. That's why I'm not bothered if we don't make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Still think will be a repeat of last year final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 We aren't a very good team, simple as that. Don't think that tonight demonstrated anything ground-breaking or what we didn't already know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Tonight was not to bad a few half decent races pleased for Rohan he rode well and Charles.For the Stars Puk and Lambert really were impressive first time out, but they faded somewhat Busk Jacobsen impressed me ( reminded me so much of Per Sorensen).As for the future these teams Swindon certainly have no chance of winning the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thought Troy had a bit of a go as did Lambert but the rest were so inconsistent...well Kerr and Rose were very disappointing Schlein started off ok although despite winning heat 3 still looked a bit iffy and what can you make of Puk? Very up and down as seems to be the norm for him at Blunsdon , yes i agree with Sidney was impressed with NBJ and above all nice to see Darcy back at the Abbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Why was Doyley's score so low - was he testing engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Why was Doyley's score so low - was he testing engines? Last two rides he gated diabolically, pulled up onto the centre green after he just managed to hold Troy out and looked dejected with his bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Last two rides he gated diabolically, pulled up onto the centre green after he just managed to hold Troy out and looked dejected with his bike Thanks for that. So reading between the lines - keeping his average down with next year in mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Don't think NKI is impressed with the track! Thanks for that. So reading between the lines - keeping his average down with next year in mind Cheats!!! Never catch Poole doing anything like that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 After 4 heats I was ready to go home but I'm glad I stayed-well done the Roobins! Now for Coventry at Brandon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 And Wolves Not intending to decry the performances, Wolves have achieved this year, but surely no-one is deceiving themselves in thinking they will compete with Poole and Belle Vue for the League title this year. Those two are the stand out teams and are some way in front of the rest. Wolves have accredited themselves very good and are the next placed team, while the remaining are just anybody opinions. Achieving a play-off position is not something to shout about,........ but for a few teams that's all we ever had to aim for..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Why do Swindon often give away points at the start of the meeting, the first four heats were diabolical, we cannot afford a start like that against any of the top teams, or if we get to the play offs, which I am not sure we will do, where the aggregate scores count. Is it the riders or is it the track, as after a lot of grading after heat 4 the roobins riders picked up. Rohan has certainly improved as has Nick, and Josh and Charles put in impressive rides later in the meeting. Kings Lynn only had one rider scoring well and that was NKI, and Nikolaj showed what he could do. Next week is important with away meetings at Coventry, Kings Lynn and Belle Vue, which if we want to stay in the play offs position we need to win at least two of those.

Red Robin Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Don't think Lambert or NKI are. @doniversen Track at Swindon is not what it used to be. #hardwork @ruthlesslambert 6+2 tonight at Swindon track was hard though with many ruts Nothing wrong with the track last night, Just that they were losing so "Blame the track" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever was picking the music must be an Aussie as they love ABBA, I thought it was a tribute to all the Aussie riders in the meeting, but they can continue to play ABBA, say one track a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only belle vue have a shot of keeping it close at monmore so i wouldnt rule us out !! Probably will be a wolves/poole semi final which will be hard to call over the two legs !!
