Steve Shovlar Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Well after Belle Vue picked up 4 points tonight at Swindon, the Robins know they need to winat Wimborne Road next Wednesday to have a chance of a top 4 finish. Lady luck is certainly shining on them as Pirates are without Nicolai Klindt and Freddie Jackobsen, both riding in Denmark. R/R covers Klindts rides and Matt Ford has drafted in Riss for Freddie. We are certainly going to miss Nicolai who has been excellent since coming into the team. R/R won’t cover adequately. Although Freddie has had 2 poor meetings in a row, he will also be missed and it’s doubtful our guest will do much. Swindon have the opportunity to rectify the home defeat. Will they manage to repeat the A fixture, or will Poole gain revenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Think Swindon's winning run in Dorset will end, gash away and not much better at home this year. Will be surprised if they make top 4 now, about 54-36 oi reckons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Can only see us picking up 4 points against the massively under strength lost property Pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 One point in 9 away meetings would say Swindon are in for a tough night(Again) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they manage to repeat the A fixture, or will Poole gain revenge? I though that regarding Klindt, as I posted earlier. But just had a look and Worrall, Josh and the reserves can take his rides. So Worrall, Josh and Woryna twice ain't to bad. I'd have Klindt down for 7 or 8 from 4.. Will probably get 6-7 if Josh continues his home form and score 2 or 3 from his ride.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nicolai has been banging in very good scores. Rather have him than r/r any day. His last scores inc bonus points have been 10, 18, 10, 11, 11, 7, 9, 9. Doubt r/r will cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) So Worrall , Josh and Woryna twice wont be far out.Maybe a point or 2 less? Don't get me wrong, i'd rather Klindt at Poole in the form he is in, but it's not such a big loss as I first thought before I looked who would take his rides.

Bagpuss Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Belle Vue's results this week show that you never know but I'd expect Poole to comfortably cover for their missing men and win the meeting by enough to deny Swindon a point.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Apart from the importance of the meeting itself for both sides, its also the cut-off for the September averages. Although Frederik will complete his 4 home/4 away meetings on Monday at Somerset and his new average will be effective for the Bank Holiday meetings v Somerset (H) and Swindon (A). It'll be interesting to see the reserve positions then. Edited August 17, 2018 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Swindon need to at least get 1 point from this meeting but after last night I am not sure we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Let's look at the facts, we sneaked an away win at Leicester and won at Poole when they were misfiring, both in April, what have we done since, 1 measly point, funnily enough at Leicester again, so you must be deluded if you think we will even get the losers point, Poole might be slightly weakened, but we have a team Batch apart who are all out of form, especially away..........52-38.
