Belle Vue Vs Wolves, Nss, 27/9/17... Playoff Semi Final 2nd Leg.


Recommended Posts

Not sure how to do that but I did set up a new "1st leg at Monmore" topic the other day...

If you call up first post and press "edit", then "use full editor" which allows you to change the heading.

Did not realise you had set up another thread, so it is up to you to change this one or not.

Not so sure about that making Belle Vue favourites for the tie, Lindgren and Schlein will no doubt take two R/R rides, they are more than capable of banging in 6 points from them, but lets see if Jacob does make it and manage to ride on the night. Still think thirteen points will be enough.

JT has broke his lower back so his season is over

 

RS not great around NSS, howarth no replacement for JT, masters off form.

 

For me we are favs now.

 

Get well soon JT

Have to agree Phil, can't see Wolves defending the title without without Thorsell. Belle Vue should pull this back fairly easily on the best racetrack in the country. Lindgren won't have enough backup.

 

I have Belle Vue as clear favourites for the title right now. Watching Swindon last night they failed to impress and struggled to put away the weakest Poole team in years. Doyle said on TV he is taking no risks. He let down his Polish team when it mattered and isn't going to risk a world title

 

For me, I believe Belle Vue will go all the way.

Looking ahead to the 2nd leg, once again the weather looks to potentially play a part. A band of rain moving in tomorrow evening, currently predicted to hit Manchester at appx 1900. Hopefully it's later rather than earlier!

Plenty of time for the forecast to change radically.... usually at least 4 different forecasts during the race day.

 

Forecasters are pretty crap really

Dreadful news for Jacob. Virtually game over for Wolves now Wednesday and the final if we somehow hang on to 13 point lead.

Aces clear favourites sadly after heat 14 last night.

Ironically, Tungate was rubbish from a BV point of view but has basically won them the tie by (accidentally) taking out our 2nd best rider.

 

If Masters was fit then there would be a chance for us but I can't see him scoring many with how slow he looked last night. I'm half thinking that we should have R/R for him too, would mean we could at least bring in one Guest.

Belle Vue have a great chance but all the pressure will be on them. If Masters can buck up then Wolves still have a chance. Lindgren needs to max really. Regarding the Tungate/Thorsell crash, Tungate was a bit hairy in other rides but in this one he didn't have a lot of choice in my view as JT was locking up to exit the corner.

So we would be looking at.......

 

Lindgren needing 15 points from 6 rides (capable of getting a max but Cook & Bjerre go well round the NSS so not expecting him to)

Schlein needing 9 points from 6 rides

Masters needing 6 points from 5 rides

Howarth needing 5 points from 5 rides

And 5 points between the reserves

 

Would get us to the 40 point mark which is probably what we will need to win the tie overall. It's achievable but still looking tough with R/R, Masters will have to ride through the pain barrier big time which is a big ask. Not to mention that Schlein will need to infinitely better than the last time we went there as a team.

Really sorry to hear that about Jacob - as he has been riding like a number 1 around Monmore and a solid scorer away as well. With him out and Sam Masters clearly struggling it will be a hard lead to hold on to but you never know. Wolves have been THE team to beat this year and it would be a shame if that was taken away due to injuries.

Wolves big underdogs now ..to get into the final Fast Fred is going to have to score big.From a swindon point of view I hope now wolves make it as I feel with the Wolves team now we could rack up a big home win .

I can see RR scoring appx the same as what Thorssell would round our place, he's been hit and miss in the past. Lindgren will be able to have 6 rides. Can't see how that, combined with Wolves having a 13 point lead, makes BV "big favourites". And with regards the weather forecast, a big band of rain is going to sweep in from the west. Currently set to hit us at 1900. Forecast not going to change massively, maybe by a couple of hours either way. Hopefully it's late...
