hagonshocker Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Would take a very poor Rebels performance for Swindon to win this one!! In theory we need the 4 actual premier standard riders to score 45 that's a massive ask on current form and against Doyle and Holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Covatti missing for the Rebels is a big miss considering the form he has been in since signing for us. Whilst our team has changed slightly, and Swindon are missing both Bellego and Zak Waj from the previous meeting, we got slaughtered there earlier in the year. Remarkably Swindon are the only team in the league with a 100% winning record at home too. Swindon 48 Somerset 42 I'll go for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be fired up, thats for sure. But not a 6 point win for me. Nick, Adam, Troy and Toby need get at least 40 between them if you have a chance of winning the meeting at all imho.Looking like a very close meeting to me.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Terrible tactical error by Somerset in heat 11. 3-3 would have kept the gap at 4 points but Doyle winning it allows Morris in on a t/r in heat 12, chopping out a zero scoring reserve.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Luckily they got away with it but would have been 6 up instead of four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 As much I hoped we would nick it (expected better from Perks) a 4 man team is never going to beat 7, dust this one off & go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Congratulations to Somerset as you can only beat what's in front of you. Well done to the Robins 4 as they nearly pulled it off. Injuries have played a bad hand to so many teams the last few years & with so few riders wanting to ride in Britain it will only get worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White flag raised over Blunsdon stadium before the final heat. Doubt Bellego riding would have made much of a difference. Swindon just don’t have it this year.

kopite92 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well done boys! I know we were against a weakened Robins side but they rode well and got the job done. A special shout out to Tero Aarnio who did a bloody good job for us, especially in heat 12 up against Morris and Ellis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 A poor meeting in front of a good crowd. Congratulations to the Rebels they did what they had to. Aarnio particularly good value for his score. Robins top 4 battled hard but with no back up at reserve there was little chance of winning. Not sure why Nick didn’t come out in 15. No disrespect to Adam but Somerset are rivals for the play off. There have been meetings where it’s been done and dusted and we have won easily and yet he comes out but tonight with potentially something on it, he wasn’t called upon? Also, what is in the middle of bend 3 and 4? There have been issues in the previous meetings where Adam came off on a couple of occasions. Tonight, Alpen nearly binned it and Nick did. It needs to be sorted, whatever the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Best race of the night, Muesli beating Doyley, Aarnio excellent as Rebels guest. Excellent crowd weather and coiderr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
