Gresham78 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Congratulations to Wolves who take a deserved lead back to Monmore Green. They were the better team on the night and seemed to want it more. Don't know what happened to Swindon; complacency and maybe the track caught them out a bit but either way Wolves were worthy winners on the night.

Starman2006 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 The closest to Adams in league wins is Middlo. Which is ridiculous really as Middlo has had top teams handed to him by Ford. No one,and I mean no one, to touch Adams. Thats the name of the game surely. But Neil does get a say, if he says no then its no.. Congratulations to Wolves who take a deserved lead back to Monmore Green. They were the better team on the night and seemed to want it more. Don't know what happened to Swindon; complacency and maybe the track caught them out a bit but either way Wolves were worthy winners on the night. I'l go for complacency.

Beowulf Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Exceptionally pleased and happy with the result,totally unexpected. From what I can see every single Swindon fan has been graceful in defeat, on the night, a lesson to be learned by some on the south coast. It is not over yet................. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I don't think the loss of Freddie and Jacob made much difference tonight, but if they were fit, it would certainly be all over now as at Monmore they are superb. Â Well done Wolves on a deserved victory, let's hope we get a better race track Wednesday and may the best team win. Â You think Freddie would have scored less than 9 from 5 rides?? RR scored 7 from 4 rides, potentially the least Jacob would have got. Wolves hopefully will be able to prepare a much better race track than they were able to do last week but if any track can do it it will be the multi award winning Monmore Green circuit.

mtommo Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Anyone seen Fred flange he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth but maybe that's not a bad thing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Interesting comments on the Wolves page from Rory, saying that the Swindon riders were bickering and arguing with each other, clearly all is not well there...

scaramanga Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Don't they just have be on the track & not at the start now?. on track and making there way to tapes but any rider can be penalised for delaying the start even when at tapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Anyone seen Fred flange he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth but maybe that's not a bad thing lol Gavan has also been quiet. Perhaps he is taking another enforced sabatical. Well, we can hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I really hope he hasn't fallen into a huge cavern and disappeared. Still, there are several 'aliases' that can be used anyway. Whoa, steady on Steve, 65sarge has been very complimentary, leave it at that. I agreed with the rest of the post. Just being a bit picky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 id also say the ref wasnt fair a few rollers and jumps were missed from both teams warning for was it morris for unsporting conduct after he fell but when the wolves rider fell (riss maybe) stayed down with no intention of getting up untill musilak looked to have a issue and he jumped up and dragged bike off track now there is 2 issues depending which way you favour it was musilak under power when race was stopped and what was the difference (apart from a little more severe crash) with riss and morris as it was obvious riss jumped up as soon as it looked like they were getting 3-2 as opposed to 3-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Back from Blunsdon. Â 7.30pm tonight. Where's Rosco? In the pits, making sure everything is OK with his riders? Or prancing about on the centre green, being interviewed and waving at the fans? Â Complete complacency from Robins. Deserved to lose. Â All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Well, that wasn't in the script... Â Congratulations to the Wolves. Faster out of the gate and rode the right lines when behind. Even when the Robins made the gate they all looked slow and were easily passed. Â It would be interesting to get more substance to Schlein's comments re the Swindon riders. Â There is still a chance the Robins can turn it around, if they ride as a team, however, on tonight's evidence I fully expect the Wolves to finish the job off...

superguest Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Wow - how the heck did that happen? After last Monday and then Wednesday against BV - I honestly thought we were done for, and obviously totally gutted to see my personal favorite rider in Freddie seriously hurt and Jacob who has become such an entertainer home and away this year - with his improvement going largely unnoticed but thats not always a bad thing. Â Step up Rory Schlein, Kyle Howarth and Sam Masters. Wow! All three have been impressive this year so maybe we were harsh to think this was beyond us. I guess you just don't expect this to happen. I've visited Swindon many times over the years and seen some decent performances and some total whitewashes but this just shows anything is possible! Â Chris Harris- the sort of rider you want riding for you in a play off meeting. Mark and Nathan - did their job. Come on Wolves - lets do this for Jacob and Fast Freddie who have literally been unstoppable this year at Monmore. Â Its not over yet and I hope theres a decent meeting for the neutrals to watch on Wednesday - we need to keep our cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Im hearing that Gavan has just put in for Rosco's job.. Anyone seen Fred flange he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth but maybe that's not a bad thing lol The thread is debating just fine. Really no need to encourage the usual trash talk that takes over. Â Great result for Wolves, very much against the odds. Swindon not out of it.

Â Great result for Wolves, very much against the odds. Swindon not out of it. It would be very dangerous from a wolves perspective to assume that the tie is over. Sure Adams will try and guard against that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Quite an enjoyable meeting, mostly due to the shock factor, and the fact that the Play-Offs never let us down. Track looked fine to me; there were some decent races, but like King's Lynn, the Swindon track is not what it once was. Racing wise it looked as good as most matches from Swindon, and track looked in better nick than usual. Â Masters was sublime, he along with Schlein (although he faded away towards the end) were the main reasons for Wolves' success, not the track, complacency, the moon, etc, etc. Masters' form since his injury has been very average, but tonight he really stepped up, and was magnificent. In truth, the whole Wolves side shone at some point. Â In the Play-Offs, you always have to expect the unexpected (just ask any Vetlanda fan), and I think this tie is far from over. Wolves will be without their best 2 riders round Monmore, and no doubt because of this (and the added pressure) will have less home track advantage than normal. Swindon are more than capable of winning round there, they will need to perform a damn sight better than they did tonight though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Wow. Â Not long back from the meeting and still expecting to wake up and realise I have a drive to Swindon for a 20+pt defeat ahead of me. Â Before the meeting every Wolves fan I spoke too all said if we got within 20 we'd have done well. A few of us half-heartedly suggested that if we could make a half decent start we might put a bit of pressure on Swindon and they had got riders who might bottle it.. boy oh boy did it work! Â At no stage did any of us become confident, we were simply ticking the heats off, "The most they can win now is 20... now 16... now 12" and so on! Â It was great to see every Wolves rider record a paid win, a true team effort in what has to go down as one of the best, if not the best away performance I have ever seen from a Wolves side. Â However, the job is only half done. Before tonight's meeting most Wolves fans agreed that even winning on Wednesday would be tough with the team we have, that remains the case. We must be focused and treat it as if it were the 1st leg and we needed to build a lead. "Little do ye know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour." Robert Louis Stevenson.I fear we may be doing a lot of labouring, mind! Â We laboured well! Â Swindon can only win by 56 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
