As for Ippo, lets see what happens when their free scoring reserve goes into the top 5. Play-offs will be Swindon, Poole, Ipswich and Kings Lynn imo. I think Belle Vue will be there, very hard to beat at home and that may well be enough given the amount of points they have got already. Ipswich are solid but dont have top end firepower which could cost us at home but we also keep away scores tight So far in heats 13 and 15 Ipswich have had the following scores: 18 heats 10....3-3 1.....2-4 1.....4-2 4.....1-5 2....5-1 So yes we lack at the tail end of a meeting but we have been fine in heats 12 and 14 to counter that We do have a free scoring reserve but our other one has missed numerous matches and we are still winning Peterborough are vulnerable at the moment Swindon are one decent reserve away from being top 4 Poole are solid enough to make it Kings Lynn are playing catch up and may have left themselves to much to do My final table would be 1. Ipswich 2. Swindon 3. Poole 4. Belle Vue 5. Kings Lynn 6. Peterborough 7. Wolves You may call this 'anti Poole' but if that was the top 4 and the teams are as they are now i would want Poole over 2 legs, kept it tight at Poole and won easily at home. We kept it tight at Belle Vue mainly due to Bellego. We got easily beat at Swindon who pushed us close at home Lots of twist and turns yet though Edited June 25, 2019 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Dropping Nichollls seems to have secured Wolves the wooden spoon. Time to write off 2019, only injuries seem likely to halt the Swindon title charge in any case. Belle Vue seem awful away from the NSS for some reason.

Very difficult to know what will happen, last season proved this is just a qualifying competition for a little sprint at the end of the season when the team that gets luckiest with injuries will probably be league champions.

I agree who would you change? Our top two are never going to be the new turbo twins but they are good riders and give it everything, the only thing I would say is that maybe Brady over rides sometimes which was his downfall at a couple of away meetings recently but I can't fault the desire. Middlo certainly had them pumped at Wolves the way they came out firing they looked really up for it. Our jewels in the crown are Josh an Nicolai Klindt, they have been terrific. Richie has ridden well recently without seemingly much reward and you know he will be up for it come play off time. Covatti has been pretty good too, the only one you could consider changing really is NBJ and I can't really see any better alternatives that are available.
