Thought Palm-Toft would be riding for Peterborough at Redcar. 

He will be so yet another wrong line up posted.  Any sensible person would wait until riders are confirmed before listing them.

Away Dangerman - Robert Lambert is the obvious choice. Palm-Toft will be very useful at reserve after his performance for Rye House last week. 

Prediction - It was 48-42 in the last meeting between these two at the Abbey. If Swindon ride like they did last week the score will be even closer. I predict a 45-45 draw with Palm-Toft cleaning up at reserve for the Stars.

MPT will be riding for Panthers at Redcar and Kerr will be riding for Glasgow Thursday night

Swindon had protection (as did their opponents) on fixtures originally scheduled for a Thursday. So would imagine Kerr will be there on Thursday rather than riding for Glasgow.

MPT may well be missing as was a later signing for Kings Lynn - going by last Thursday, it appears protection only stretched as far as the initial fixture list and initial team declarations.

The Swindon website has our top five present and Doolan as the guest for MPT with an unnamed guest for Kasper for some reason.

No team news on either Glasgow or Sheffield sites to confirm Kerr's absence from their meeting.

Be nice if it had also come up promptly on the KL website. Fans deserve to be better informed and as soon as there is news to impart. Only the cognoscenti are kept in the picture.

Swindon will be crowing about how good they are on Friday But they are taking on only half a team once again.

Unsure about that, but the state of the team is down to KL it is not Swindons fault.

Looks like Smith will now be available to Swindon on Thursday following Sheffield's changes.

MPT missing is a big blow to Kings Lynns chances, but Lambert and a couple of others in decent form. Should be a good meeting, and if Swindon start how they did last Thursday then it could spell trouble.

Hardly half a team but you can only race against who is in the line-up and it is hardly Swindon's fault!

Nothing is foregone conclusion - I have seen many "select" teams beat their opposition unexpectedly over the years and best not forget that Swindon struggled against a very poor Rye House team who really should have won on the night!

There will be no crowing about how good Swindon are until such time as they secure their place in the play-offs and go on to win it - it would be foolish to crow before then - look at Poole fans pre-season crowing! :rolleyes:
