Anymore performances like that and he will be a goner sooner rather than later. You have changed your tune again, you said he would contribute more. More nonsense predictions of course.

He puts him in of 15! He is never going to pass Doyle or Ellis in Heat 1, they both go well at Wolves. Put Morris in, he can gate and might get amongst them.. plus gets some track time in before Heat 2. Is the rule also Howarth would start from 4 and the others move over? Not sure if they changed it a year or two back... if that is still the rule even more ludicrous decision. Think that rule was changed last season as riders went back 15 metres from original gate last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Congrats to Swindon on securing a point. wasn't expecting that tbh. Early indications seem to point to the fact that we've got a diamond from across the pond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gated twice in front of the Wolves riders but couldn’t stay there. At least his gating wasn’t a disaster. Maybe putting him at 2 would have been better so we were less vulnerable in heat 14, but when the reserves are so poor too it’s difficult to get any heat advantages other than in 13 and 15.

That's what I thought. Doesn't change what an awful decision it was. It gives them the inside gate whichever way you look at it. Fortunately didn't cost us, mainly due to Becker. Decent result though as well under strength without Nick Morris. Once he is back Wolves will be very tough to crack at Monmore. Missed opportunity for Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Plus, Doyle was very poor compared to in Poland yesterday. Not a single race win tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past Lampart hasn’t looked like taking to any track apart from Blunsdon. He struggled everywhere previously. A bizarre signing by Rosco. Aaron Summers would have been better.

Give the guy a chance, Wolves for the first meeting of the season is never easy to go too regardless of who you are. Many better riders struggle there. Watched Lampart in his first two polish extraliga matches & he’s been on the pace. Sounds like he was tonight other than being squeezed out in he bends, by all accounts Tobi may have been at fault for one of those. If after a dozen or so matches he still isn’t doing well then perhaps the conversation can be had, until then I think it’s too early to criticise. One thing which can be said is that had we not had 3 riders score only 3 point score between them then we would have been in with a shout. Onto Thursday now which I for one can’t wait for.

Wolves got lucky given it was Swindon’s first match to our 4th outing, be better to judge once Nick is back and fit. RR is covering the rides well tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the 'very top' riders it must be difficult to maintain the same level of motivation.. Its a bit like playing for Manchester United v Liverpool at the weekend, then represening Rochdale v Oldham on a Monday night.. The same sport but a huge amount of less intensity, pressures and rewards.. Watching the top league in Poland really brings home to you the vast difference. Every race is like a stand alone event with each heats' outcome being treated almost like the be all and end all.. 15 races of constant pressure and scrutiny from a very partisan demanding following.. A heat advantage to the opposition on your shoulders is treated like treason, especially when at home... And if anything, from what I have seen so far this season, the crowds and expectations are even bigger!

The level of rewards and expectations in Poland now is far and away more intensified than when Leigh rode... So much live TV, so many blue chip sponsors, huge crowds, and so many young hungry riders busting a gut to take your place and earn the huge rewards on offer to the very best.. Real pressure to perform over there EVERY RACE never mind every week, with a very unforgiving fan base and in turn a very quick to make changes club hierarchy.. Becoming a mini version of the football premier league over here, lots of clubs speculating huge amounts, all desperate to stay in the top league to pay for their spending thru sponsors enticed in by the prime time TV coverage.. Riding in the UK must be a lot different and you can't keep up that intensity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 So here we are again. Another season of whingy, whiny Swindon fans and the same old Reading fan calling for team changes after one match. What a surprise. Losing by 2 at Wolves is a disappointment, but hardly a bad result for a season opener. Swindon haven't even had a practice yet. Yes, the botttom end didn't score many, but that is how the side is put together. It's always going to be the top 4 scoring nearly all the points, especially away from home. Nine from Jason could have been more, perhaps, but he was paid for 11 and it included a 15m handicap for tape touching. Could Jason still have gone in heat 15 I wonder. His big race mentality might have got us a draw? Hard to judge without being there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
