YerRopes Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Musiliak has made such a difference. From also rans to Champions with one swap out. Musielak was an inspired signing and has certainly made a huge difference,, As for Champions, we'll wait and see. You must be in the deepest of despairs at the moment Steve Nevermind though eh ! You Robins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be in the deepest of despairs at the moment Steve Nevermind though eh ! You Robins No dispair from me. We were never going to challenge the moment KK showed no interest. If Swindon win it well done to them! Surely they can't possibly lose it now? Twelve in a row? What could possibly go wrong? Time for the champagne to be popped?

A ORLOV Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Great result again. I thought the result would be closer but this team just shows how good they are. 37 - 53 and another 4 points is welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) So your a Swindon fan now then ? Um definately not!!! I admire what Rosco has done with the team plus the fact it helps us! I can't see us getting in the top 4 as Rye will pip us, but hope I'm wrong. Am I not allowed to congratulate another team winning? Edited August 18, 2017 by Pirates Of Poole 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef robin Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Just said well done to the Flying Frenchman and his mechanic parked up in his van at a Swindon Maccy D's, perhaps they were munching on the salad option. Fantastic win again for those flying Robins, 12 in a row. The Swindon steam train smashes on. Was it as good as first meeting in April, crowd level?

Anzum Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Crowd was good. Couple of good battles between Ellis and Josh and Ellis and Wright. Also Bellego and Hougaard had two entertaining heats. Best move of the night was Morris in heat 13 going from last to second. Doyle was different gravy with Tobi and David not far behind.

Better view for fans as well. Lucky they missed the rain we had in Swindon. Edited August 19, 2017 by beefy keefy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 There was one this time. Just before the second meeting which was abandoned after a very nasty looking crash in the first heat. Poor bloke cartwheeled at least twice before hitting the air fence. Hope he is ok but ambulance had to take him to hospital and wouldn't have made it back before curfew.

EnglishRoundabout Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Another good crowd watched this local derby despite the ever threatening grey skies and the M5 gridlocked in various places. Although I haven't watched the Rebels away from home this season, this is the first time I have seen them genuinely outclassed. Swindon looked like a team full of confidence and desire. Doyle, Musielak, Ellis and Bellego were regularly electric from the starts. All four took to the OTA arena like ducks to water, looking fast, smooth and stylish. The extra grip put down appeared to suit the Robins from the start. Doyle and Musielak were often several bike lengths in front as they reached the first bend. Bellego is treat to watch at Somerset. This has to be his favourite track. When he does miss the start, he appears to hunt the opposition down, circle menacingly, before striking and passing his opponents at precisely the right time. For the Rebels, Jake Allen was sorely missed. His crash in heat 14 of the match against Wolves has all but ended their play off hopes this year. Allen is normally good for a hatful of points at home, but guests and R/R have come up short so far. Worryingly, Lawson and to a lesser extend Graczjonek, have lost their way at the OTA recently. Both are continually missing the gate and only the latter is managing to generate enough speed to force his way through from the back. Lawson however, is really struggling to pass. Patrick Hougaard is another that has disappointed. It's many meetings that he has failed to hit double figures at home, and for a rider of his class, is simply not good enough. Charles Wright continues to ride 'on the edge' and really is a thrilling, entertaining rider. Usually Preferring to stick his back wheel in the dirt, he has shown in recent meetings some clever moves along with his usual bravery. His third to first ride against Wolves and a classic cut back, and his dare devil pass of Ellis last night, makes him surely one of the most exciting riders seen at Somerset for many years. A delighted Alun Rossister is leading a team on fire at the moment and when Nick Morris finally came to the party with a stunning pass of Graczjonek and Lawson in heat 13, one realised just how much the Robins have in their locker. 12 consecutive victories is a magnificent achievement ( even in a league that continually receives criticism for its standard) and the several hundred fans from Wiltshire let their team know on the victory parade just how pleased of the team they are! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Not a bad meeting last night, but in the end an easy win for the fast starting robins. Thankfully despite the cloudy skies, the weather behaved itself for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
