I think a home win against Somerset which hopefully will be a bit easier than last time and a away win at Swindon could put us in pole position but Swindon although with nothing to ride for will be up for it at home so will be tough but I think we can do it. Brady goes very well at Swindon usually and seemed like his old self last night so there is hope.

I wouldnt start counting your horses mate, Somerset will not be easy,  we have to go into that meeting with the right attitude, they will ride hard for 15 hts. Oh, and Gerrald knows what to do with the track ...;)

If Lynn top it they would probably pick BV.  But they will be wary of the improvement belle Vue can make with worrall getting fitter each week and us having stronger reserves now than when we last met.

Big if, dont get carried away with the fact you got 6 points last night. If you didnt, you wouldnt deserve being in any play off shake up.

Frustrating evening for the Budgies as with 3 heats to go they were only 6 points adrift and earning a league point looked possible but then it all came unstuck with those three 5-1 reverses.

As Rosco said the Heat 7 crash damaged the Robins chances with Tobias being adversely affected by it.

There were some positives; I thought David and Adam both rode very well but with Toby being off it and Nick Morris fading badly it wasn't enough again.

Much as I like Nick as a rider I wonder if a move to another team next year might give his career a boost? I thought after last year he might kick on but he's slipped back this season.

As for Poole, after numerous changes Ford seems to  have found a winning set up and I would now consider them as favorites for the title. Kurtz and Grajczonek look to to be back to their normal form, Bomber seems to be thriving in his new team and the reserve set up is very strong. Somerset are very reliant on Doyle and Holder, Kings Lynn similarly with Lambert and Iversen and Belle Vue have the overrated Cook, and Fricke who can be brilliant but  also be very average at times and a not fully fit Steve Worrall .    

Big crowd last night which was a boost for the sport in the UK.

Should be easier than last time with a bit of luck Brady might get some points now he has found some form.
