Poole V Swindon Semi Final 1st Leg 11/9/17


Recommended Posts

Will Newman put in an appearance? Will Starke come down with a mystery illness? :). Seriously a lot depends on how BWD comes back and if Bellego has overcome his recent dip. Its possible Swindon could have peaked too soon and struggle. Im going for a comfy Poole win and to go through on aggregate.

Why the bloody ell can't they have this the following Monday, as on me olidays in Poole then!

Should be closer than the last couple of times these famous west country clubs met, Robins scoring 56 home and away, got boring.

First 2 fixtures early on were a draw at The Abbey and narrow win for Swindon at Poole, more exciting, so would take that if BWD and Dave B are on form.

You could go to Poole two weeks running, what could be better!

Im far from over confident but I think we will go through. Im not gonna be like these Poole fans who think every win is against the odds and say we are underdogs all the time as its not true in this case.

 

 

Where is Brandon Bob? Thought we would have had his thoughts by now about how Swindon are lucky and they will beat us easy. Bob?!

If it means winning the tie he'll do it. Hes batting for Swindon.

Seem to remember a lot of Poole fans a few days ago hoping Starke comes down with something allowing Newman in for him.

 

Poole will be favorites to win at home just depends how much of a lead they can get.

 

Poole again meeting a team at the right time........no Zach, BWD not fit and Bellego out of form

This who semi final depends on two riders for Poole. Starke and Shanes. Shanes should have Davey for fun and if he matches his scores of 4/5 in last few meetings could keep us in it at Swindon.

 

Starke will be practicing and hopefully some rest does him the world of good and if he gets back to his 7/8 points at reserve could be the balance of the matches.

 

We have always done well in the playoffs due to our reserves so we need them to stand up once again if we are to win.

I've seen both Poole and Swindon at Somerset in recent weeks and Swindon are the better side. However, the fight and desire Poole showed with their backs against the wall at the OTA means in my opinion this will be a very tight two legged affair.

 

Robins to win over the two legs but my fear is the likes of Doyle and Morris are always likely to do something bizarre like get excluded at a crucial time, which will keep the scores much closer.

 

Got a feeling it will be a last heat decider at Blunsdon.

He seems to have disappeared. That's a shame. Old Bob usually has plenty to say about Poole and Swindon despite his Coventry roots!
