Any team that gets a 3-3 in H13 at Swindon should be celebrating! H15 was always gonna be a max for Swindon, H14 decided it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 What a brilliant skip Doyley is, always rely on him. Hes up there with the Robins greats such as Briggo, Adams, Crumpie, Ashby, Kilby, Broady, etc., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Wolves handed it to Swindon by being dumb enough to get a 4-2 in Heat 11. Allowing Doyle to replace Vissing in the next turned the match. Take a 3-3, keep a 4pt lead and put a lot more pressure on Musielak. Normally I'm not in favor of such a thing and advocate getting pts on the board, but in this case, it was just too obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the likelihood that if Howarth had replaced Becker in heat 8, Wolves would have got a 5-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Had to miss last night due to lack of childcare cover! Knew it would be a close one if im not there. What was the crowd like? Doyley has had a few low scores this season by his high standards but when he has been needed this season he has generally done the biz. Won a fair few heat 15s when we need to win the meeting or take a point. That will do me nicely for a number 1 and it's a massive difference from last season and that cost us.

Dog i recon between 11/1200??? but saying that i was 400 out on the Belle Vue meeting.!!!The positive's to come out of last night was Doyley is always there when the pressure is on and in heats 13/15 we are always generally very strong.Also Wolves reserves outscored ours by 14. - 3 and it still did not cost us i think Ellis Perks did have bike issues last night.

Doris i have to put Doyley above Leigh, world champion in 2017 and he worked his socks off to get there.Leigh was a SUPERB team rider a joy to watch me personally would put Crump senior a tad higher but the Robins have been blessed with greats over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 No one will ever replace Adams as my favourite Robin of all time. But Doyley led us to the title in 2017 with a top performance in the away leg at Wolves. This year he has won us numerous points. He's doing a top job in my eyes and long may it continue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
