Totally agree Sid. Last season the top 5 continued to click together on a consistent basis hence the long run undefeated but this year there always seems to be one or two riders off the pace on the night. We have to hope that it comes good again at some point before the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingRacer2017 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 This Swindon team needs ripping up for 2019. Keep Ellis, Musielak, Wajtknecht. Morris needs a fresh start elsewhere, I’d bring back Doyle but not sure he’d want to return now. Bellego was lucky to get a place in 2018, surely no such luck in 2019.

ReadingRacer2017 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Out of the top 5 I think only Batchelor & Ellis have raised their averages which speaks volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Gresh i thought we would barely get a top four finish but if Morris kicked on and the top five clicked we would be fine.Now we have to beat Belle Vue / Poole at home be interesting to see if Wolves make changes they look vulnerable now and could be the one to miss out.

Bellego has to be on the Somerset wish list for 2019. He's mustard at the OTA as proven again tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, we all love Nick Morris but the decision to drop Jason for Nick has backfired. Weak reserves and no high scoring number 1.

Yes Bellego, who massively upped his starting average in 2017, was very lucky to get a place this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t tell the whole story though did it, his form at the end of 2017 season was not that of a 7.30 rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Always good racing at OTA. Good crowd, plenty from Swindon. Somerset fully deserved the points. Apart from heat 15 Swindon were pants, no excuses. Tobi, Dave, Rohan, tried hard, Batch awful. Robins may sneak into playoffs with the amount of home fixtures left.

Yeah i thought Morra was going step up again this year but he's fallen short as have Toby and David. Guess last year they were all on it together. As you say our matches with the Aces and the Poole Pikeys are crucial now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris & Bellego have been the main culprits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dropped Jason because becoming World Champion meant that he would not of come cheap so they went another route.It is easy to look back and say in hindsight we should of done this should of done that.My take on our failure is at times certainly away we just have not been good anough i can except that the top five when it clicks is more than good anough as it showed early in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
