ProudtobeaBrummie Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Interesting meeting this one . Finding it difficult to call so should be a tight meeting heart is saying 46-44 but head is saying 44-46. I think we bash them up in the lower order and get bashed up in the heat leader stakes. If we can get rory and bomber beat in a heat each i think we stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'm thinking same as you very tight, Covatti will be back but Paco likely to want to put his marker down. Brummies can still nick this group with 2 home wins especially after Eastie tanked Rebels last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Kev Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Think it will be close, we could win this but I think the decisive heats will be Heats 13 and 15 where Somerset can can put Schlein/Harris in.

HGould Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Counter that with Heats 2 + 8 + 14 where our strength in depth could be decisive as they have long tail with Kurtz, Atkins and Rowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Got to be doubts about Harris after his weekend fall and then another at Kings Lynn last night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Harris is indeed out injured showed he wasn't fully fit for Ipswich and has pulled out. Aaron Summers guests in good form atm and knows the track so arguably makes Rebels stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee jay Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 kurtz , rowe , grobauer & atkins might just get into low double figures between them , schlein & summers won't go undefeated , so it's the brummies by 10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlein and Summers may not go undefeated but will probably score a boatload more than the Brummies top end. It's the rest i'm worried about tbh. The Brummie reserves are better than ours, Kurtz needs to improve from his Eastie showing and Grobauer has never seen the place before. Covatti knows Perry Bar but is up against arguably the best rider so far for Birmingham in Morris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Covatti find 8 points then the rebels are in with a sniff, given his recent form should Kurtz find the track it might be considered a success. For the Brummies if Paco continues his 50/50 strike rate & Morris continues to be rider of the league then there should be plenty of points against the home side especially as Shanes is a different level of rider at home than he has shown so far.

GiveusaB Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) It's good to hear/read some fans giving us more of a chance than they were before the season started Shame about 'Bomber'....regardless of the result, I was really looking forward to seeing him back at PB !

Hunters Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Having now seen both teams riding it must surely be a home win by 10 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh no one doubted the bottom end it's up there as one of the best. Wajtknecht is improving season on season, Paco has experience and Shanes is one of the best NL to step up. Thomsen would find it easier when he went to reserve too. The heat leaders were the question Morris has showed up but Ostergaard and Newman are the weakest heat leaders in the league.

Norfolk Bear Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Here we go with guests again. If you have an injured rider tough , only RR , if a reserve is out then have a no. 8 The guests make the sport look amateurish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your views on Covatti, is there any chance you could choose 6 numbers between 1 & 49............. no reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Credit to Somerset on the win, fully deserved and i just knew they would hit us in Heats 13 and 15 just like every team will do this season. Covatti was on another level, could have had another 5 rides and not be beat. The Brummies were just too inconsistant, they would have one good ride, followed by a poor one and so on. That was true of every rider apart from Paco Castagna who was superb, its a shame he wasn't utilised more. He should have replaced Thomson in Heat 10 dont know why he wasn't or put in Heat 8. We are in with a shout in matches but at the same time its hard to see when we are to win unless we are 10 points up going into Heat 13. Hopefully we can improve in the coming weeks.
