Wolves v King's Lynn 03/09/18


Recommended Posts

What's going on,no interest in this match?

Thought i would start the ball rolling then.

Not really a great hunting ground for Lynn,but i feel we have got to get at least a point from this if we want to top the league.Lynn have everyone present but Wolves have N.Morris in for Schlein and Clegg in for Greaves.We came agonizingly close to gaining a point in the A fixture but this time we really have to up our game and at least take a point home.

Will be a tough one for Wolves. Sadly think it will be a Stars win but I hope Wolves prove me wrong!

Think your playing your hopes down a bit.Wolves have proved to be very strong at home.Whilst Lynn are in good form they do tend to struggle at Monmore for whatever reason.You only have to look at Wolves last week to see how strong they are at home.Down to 5 riders from the off and still won the meeting,against Belle Vue who at the time were in a bit of form themselves.

Hope your are right though and the Stars do get the win:rolleyes:

When Wolves choose to run with Thorsell rather than  Lindgren  I always believed they would struggle , especially on away tracks, and so it has turned out to be.  .  At the start of the Season  Rory was on fire  and compensated for Freddie missing,    The one  thing that has kept them in contention is their ability to win at home.   A track that is extremely difficult to master has helped them  to maintain their home supremacy.    Tonight will be no different.   This is probably one of the hardest places to go and get a result,   but I feel confident that the Stars have enough strength in depth to cause them problems ,  especially with Wolves  using 2 guests.    

If we can stay in contention till the later stages,  then we will be in with a shout.     A win, would be beyond expectations,  but a solitary point  would  be the icing on the cake.   I'm going for a close and exciting match  with a last heat decider.    46-44  either way....

Wish I was going now!!!

Its a pity BT Sport are not covering this match tonight, as I think it will be a close one. I don't suppose Radio WM are doing a commentary either?

Hoping for a Stars win, or at least a point, but with Neils blowing a bit hot and cold and Simon Lambert at reserve who never seems to do much at any away track, I'm really not sure what will happen.

We are decent at home and that’s a fair point. We should win at home but with us now needing to win away to even stand a chance of potentially nicking that 4th spot I’d like to see us performing better away leading into the play offs not getting worse!

The Stars look really good with Riss now part of the team and I’d favour them over any team right now.

Lambert is awesome at the Green, Robert I mean. Puk is a former Wolf and track record holder and Proctor is a Wolves asset with plenty of experience of the track. 1-6 is superb in those positions with only Simon a potential weak link.

Ill be massively delighted if Wolves win but won’t be surprised in the slightest if the Stars take all points on offer. They are THE team to beat now and I hope they go on and win the title now.

As Wolves have no chance of winning anything this year, then I wouldn't mind a Stars or Rebels league title. Still like to win tonight though !

Careful, you will have Bwitcher claiming we are still very much in it and could still make and win the play offs. :D Back in the real world however you are completely right.

Kings Lynn win

Nick Morris in bang average form 

His average with bonus points is 8.00, so you are predicting paid 8 from 4 or paid 10 from 5 then? Yes?

People are getting carried away with King's Lynn are bang in form now or the team to beat.Yes we have won 10 out of the last 11.But if you look back 7 of those were at home which you are expected to win,one was a drubbing at Poole and we have won at Leicester twice and Belle Vue once.So while the 10 out of 11 looks brilliant it's not quite as great as it appears.This is why i air on the side of caution as this is a real test to our title credentials.No disrespect to Belle Vue and Leicester by the way.

Ok let me rephrase 

Nick Morris is in poor form 

About the same as NKI...

I think Wolves have this at home.

Something like Thorssell,  Masters.....  23   between them (5 rides each).

Howarth, JBA  11 between them.

N. Morris 6 ? who knows

A. Morris 7, should get 5 rides

Clegg 2 ?

49-41 ish

I hope i'm miles out, in Lynn's favour, but not holding my breath.

Main thing is a good safe meeting for all.

According to updates, there has been heavy rain from around 4.30 and still raining at 5.30..Thats 4 miles from track. No update since 5.30.

If say only 12 heats get run and Lynn are within 6 points and the result is declared would they still get a bonus point??

Not sure tbh. If the result stands as it does, I can't  see how the bonus point can be taken away...

If say Wolves win and are awarded 3 points and Lynn are 6 or less behind, surely the can have the point.
