EnglishRoundabout Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Unfortunately I can only see an away win. Too many of the Poole boys go well around our gaff. Not bothered about making the play offs anyway as there is more chance of me banging Rachel Stevens than this current team winning the league and Rosco has said no changes. Lovely turn of phrase coombers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 A Poole win for me it should be a close affair though is Charles fit.? Before the meeting will be thinking of John Hewlett who has just passed on a lovely man who loved his speedway god Bless him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Brady is better than Rohan especially at Swindon where he rides it well & Rohan has had some bad meetings & only wins if he gates. to be fair, round the Abbey this year, whoever gates more than likely wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Can't see Brady beating Tungate, Rohan has been very good lately. But was pants in the home defeat to Belle Vue. He is just as likely to have a bad meeting as have a good one. Â I'd take Brady every time but especially at Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 If we ride a well as we have as a team for the last few meetings we can win this. Andersen really got his act together in the last few meetings after his diabolical effort at Coventry. Bjarne is gating well at reserve. Ellis has found the move up into the team to his liking and taken some big scalps. The others have all done their jobs.  Holder is quite vunerable at Blunsdon and struggles to pass around here. Needs to get out of the traps.  Both teams at full strength.  SWINDON M&S Van Rental Robins 1 Jason Doyle 9.68 2 Justin Sedgmen 5.79 3 Nick Morris 6.34 4 Rohan Tungate 5.71 5 Josh Grajczonek 6.25 6 Charles Wright 5.71 7 Stefan Nielsen 5.20 Team manager: Alun Rossiter  POOLE Readypower Pirates 1 Chris Holder 7.87 2 Adam Ellis 6.69 3 Krzysztof Buczkowski 7.05 4 Brady Kurtz 6.16 5 Hans Andersen 7.71 6 Bjarne Pedersen 6.06 7 Kyle Newman 6.22 Team manager: Neil Middleditch Referee: Willie Dishington Will Kurtz drop to reserve replacing Newman due to lower average or does Newman have to stay there as he is an EDR rider?

mdmc82 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Newman stays there. Bjarne moves up into the team with Kurtz replacing him next change.I'm surprised Newman still hasn't made the jump in to the main team. Good for Ellis to stay in the main body for a while. New updated averages still have Bjarne at reserve from 22nd Aug?

Good for Ellis to stay in the main body for a while. New updated averages still have Bjarne at reserve from 22nd Aug? I see what Bjarne was doing then last home meeting and at Kings Lynn in heat 15. We wondered why he was slowing allowing his team mate through on the line. Good thinking again from the Poole management. And I have said on numerous occassions this season, Ellis is going to be a top rider if he continues to improve as he has this season. Done a great job at second string. Edited August 21, 2016 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Poole are not stronger with Bjarne at reserve as his times when winning races are usually the slowest of the night & would rather he had extra rides if needed than Brady. Â He also would struggle to beat decent 2nd strings let alone heat leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 A ten point win? In my dreams. More like a 4 point defeat. Not sure what Swindon fans are so down on their team. Doyle is in the form of his life. If Sedgmen gates he is gone. Morris has woken up and smashed in some big scores. Tungate is having his best ever season and Josh G always raises his game. With Wright back Swindon have decent reserves. They are far from pushovers. Â 4 points either way. With Doyle in heats 13 and 15 Poole need a decent lead by the end of heat 12. Â Should make an exciting Sky meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 On a good night I think Swindon could win, but this team is so unpredictable, you never know what to expect. Â I'll still go for a home win though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not sure what Swindon fans are so down on their team. Doyle is in the form of his life. Maybe because they watched them all the time and you don't ... Doyle in the form of his life in the gp's but up intill now he's hardly been outstanding for Swindon ..gets beat all the time even at home . Â With thou's reserves Poole have a 8 point head start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Â Â Doyle in the form of his life in the gp's but up intill now he's hardly been outstanding for Swindon ..gets beat all the time even at home ..... Â Got to agree with you as he even got beaten by Josh Bates at Coventry recently. I don't think he's been riding as well as when he was at Leicester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
