Aces51 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Can we pull back Somerset's lead of 14 points? Going to be very difficult but not impossible. We need everyone to be on form and to score at least 8 from Dan's rides. Jonas B Andersen guests for Riss. He scored three at the NSS when riding for Wolves, so could do a bit better at reserve but not going to be easy as Somerset have a strong reserve pairing. I'm going to be optimistic and despite our previous close encounters say we will either do it or, get close to doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Jonas B Andersen in place of Riss. a big hill to climb but not impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bold prediction Aces will either do it or they won't I hope they do, to keep the season alive so I can watch more great speedway while I'm up here, I fear the track may be too fair to pull back such a deficit though, BV never tend to win big at the NSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Aces probably regret dropping Jye for Riss now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As play-offs and KOC are based on aggregate scores, we would have got full value for Jye's scores at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always easy with hindsight but it was the correct decision at the time. Jye did a good job at the NSS but was doing nothing away and we needed to pick up points away to get into the play offs. Riss was ok prior to his injury and his away average shows he did the job expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guested for Somerset at Poole recently looked quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looking at the results with Riss in, we would have made the play offs anyway with Jye and had a potentially good scoring reserve at the NSS. As most said at the time it should have been Dimitri for Drozdz and keep Jye. What’s done is done but we never really got to see Mark perform due to him carrying an injury.

Aces51 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) As I've mentioned Andersen scored 3 from 4 rides on his visit with Wolves at the end of August. He was in the 1-5 but that doesn't really give any cause to think he strengthens us. His away average for Wolves is 2.46. Riders like Andersen and Riss might have a good night but might have a bad night and on average have far more bad nights than good. We might just be lucky tonight, I hope so.

SUPERACE Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Belle Vue should win tonight but I don't expect us to get close to the aggregate win. I think around 6 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Personally i think 14 points is way too much to pull back especially with Doyle and Holder in town. 8 may have been doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
