Beowulf Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well, with the Wolves having won at Somerset on Friday you would expect a comfortable home win.However at the back of the mind is the win at Belle Vue by the rebels.On the Wolves website Peter Adams is quoted as saying "One thing is for sure, we won't be underestimating Somerset'. Having said all that the Wolves top 5 are riding very well, and Freddie is unbeaten in the last 3 home matches. So, something like 51-39. This is the first time in the top flight that this fixture has taken place, so welcome to any Rebels fans, you'll find it very different to the OTA ! (but different in a good way) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) The difference at Belle Vue was the absence of Bjerre, an off night for our reserves and most importantly, a superb performance from Tungate. It looks as if that might have been a one off for Tungate and looking at the other factors I can only see a comfortable win for Wolves.

superguest Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Tbh I cant recall any of the Somerset riders at Monmore. That maybe more down to my bad memory than their performances. Sure they wil put up a fight. Hope Greaves form continues and we see some good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graversen I think has without doing much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish keeper Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I will go with a home win 55-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forknights Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Looking like a Wolves win as they have been very impressive at home the 4 meetings ive watched this season. feel sorry for the team I use to follow, but im sure Gary will get them going, and they will turn it around Hope some of my good friends from Somerset are travelling up as it will be good to have a catch up.

Aroundtheboards Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Take a photo of our team tonight Wolves, it might be the last time they ride as a team !!! Changes must be on the cards. Either way, have a safe meeting Wolves and Rebels, whatever the result !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 52-38 Is my guess .. somerset reserves will need to get 10-14 between them to keep this respectful.. Wolves are powerful at home with the greatest of respect freddie,jacob and masters could easily not get beat by a opposition rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsj9803 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Wolves went bookies title favourites today and Somerset rank outsiders, I hope this doesn't trigger a downturn in form. I have to fancy us 55-35 and hope Somerset don't repeat their Bellevue score. Been to Somerset twice this year Pairs and (a) fixture great track 2 good meetings and will probably go to the B fixture I read somewhere that Freddie will again be missing can anyone confirm this as I can't recall where I read this please.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 poor use of the t/r cock up sending allen out when hes not permitted then sending hougarrd out vs freddie at monmore not really the wisest move... not that it would of made much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) cock up sending allen out when hes not permitted So which heat did he ride in that he wasn't permitted to? Have checked the results and can't see any problem with his rides Edited May 8, 2017 by womble53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 So which heat did he ride in that he wasn't permitted to? Have checked the results and can't see any problem with his rides Tried to put him on a TR in heat 8 when he was a reserve change. Lets be honest, even if Starke had been the TR in heat 8, the result would have been the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Heat 8 he was sent out as reserve replacement for graveson and on a t/r apparently this is not permitted and he returned to the pits to put hes standard yellow helmet on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but different in a good way) only been once to wolves,they were against lakeside,greasy track that night which wolves rode well and only great late lee Richardson offered any opposition,think it might of been the same score,but nice venue,best hot dogs I've had,don't know where rebels go from here.

Cheers guys, wasn't aware of that, thought redandyellow's post was about two separate things and not all tactical related. Can't really see a good reason why it's not allowed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
