INCOGNITO Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 This could go either way really as each rider is hard to estimate their score. Will Bjerre be a number one, Will Fricke be back to his best as struggled so far, Will Cook be 333 or 111 and much the same for the Wolves team. Hopefully the first leg is somewhere between 8-10 points difference at the end and make it a close finish at Wolves. Wolves have a great home record but Aces have a good away record too. 91-89 either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Cook is 111 but his score will be closer to 333. Interestingly, his away average is better than his home average. One of the reasons we do well away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Max Fricke scored a decent 7points in Sweden tonight, he was definitely on the pace and didn't appear to be holding back, the track looked the sort that requires strength & stamina to ride but he rode hard in the 3 heats I saw him ride. Keep it going Max, we definitely need you firing on all cylinders come Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) I hipeyou are right but personally I think Wolves will blast Belle Vue out of the water at Monmore and go through. Then see off Swindon 54-36ish which will be enough to retain. We were blasted out of the the water last year in the playoffs at Monmore, hopefully not this time! Personally I think Wolves will keep it close next Monday and then be a tight one at Monmore. Either way should make cracking tv. Would agree first leg will be close. I'd take a 10 point lead right now if offered, will be mighty tough to achieve that though. As for 2nd leg Wolves hit us hard early at Monmore last year in the Grand Final (14 down after 7 heats) & we couldn't recover. Expect a better showing from our top 5 this time round. The key to the whole tie for me is a fully fit Bewley. Impossible to replace round BV, goes well at Monmore too. If he's 100% & excels then I like our chances. If not could be heartbreak again. Feels like an age since the tie was announced, win or lose can't wait for Monday night - should be a cracker Edited September 12, 2017 by mikec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fricke likewise a concern after injury. From a Wolves perspective, the only lingering concern similarly would be over Masters' fitness. Let's hope for two fully-fit sevens and a brilliant two-legged tie. The Aces strike me as marginally better at Monmore than Wolves are at the NSS, but not much in it overall. Game on! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Fricke was unbelievable last night. Best I've seen him. But we have lost Smith now who started to score a few points at home.

Steve0 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Good luck to Belle Vue in the first leg - it's going to be tough without your own reserves but I do hope you win and make it interesting for the second leg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 What is the rule regarding guests for Jack Smith. Can a championship rider be used or does it have to be a rider who rides in National League only? What is the conversion factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
