g13webb Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) This result sure makes a massive difference to the fight for P/O places. I cant imagine Wolves went with much optimism of getting any change from their trip, and BV no doubt thought another 3 points in the bag. Just goes to show luck can play a pivotal roll . When these points are added to their league totals, it will elevate Wolves in their fight for those final 4 places... No doubt BV's next match with a full team, will be a totally different ball game... Edited August 20, 2019 by g13webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me wolfie Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Surprised no one else has mentioned heat 4. Lemon does a reserve switch leaving no one to replace Bjerre when he doesn't make it to the tapes. Poor management imo. Never the less, delighted with the win. We had to win there eventually, special mention for Kyle and Jacob who were superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtiger Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Disappointing result but what do we expect with our key rider missing and riders still getting back from serious injuries and a rider unavoidably stuck in traffic? TBH we don’t seem to manage adversity very well. Touch and go now If we make the PO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me wolfie Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Belle Vue head to Kings Lynn on Thursday, will Cooks appeal happen before then? If so then they could be without Lambert and Cook for this crunch meeting. All teams will be riding except Wolves so replacement options are limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuxtonTiger Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Cooks appeal will not be until at least November, Buster will not allow it. If guilty he will be banned for two weeks over Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he thinking doing that reserve switch rather than replacing Bjerre if Kenneth still wasn't there or was there but not ready??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have replaced bjerre in that heat. And bjerre wouldn't have got to the tapes in time for heat 7 then bjerre would have been withdrawn from the meeting. So had to let bjerre miss the 2 mins to be on the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case then let 2 mins pass, get Bjerre excluded and bring in reserve for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Will this finally stop the crap from the certain Wolves fans who kept going on that they would never win at NSS because their riders aren’t light enough, engines not powerful enough, doesn’t take any skill to ride etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As gate 1 had a massive advantage that early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guest or r/r can make up for max around the NSS we are miles Weaker. Tonight's result depends on Bewley and Worrall, 1 of them has to score big. And unfortunately neither did, that and Bjerre turning up late effectively cost you the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 9 in his previous meeting against Swindon and they have a better top 2! I think he would have got more than 4, although injuries are a part of the sport and with Bjerre stuck in traffic you have to take any 'good luck' (if you can call it that) you get.

Aces51 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just now, foreverblue said: You can't you wouldn't. Fricke hasn't been on fire lately. Even Fricke not on fire was unlikely to fail to get double figures, which was more than enough for a win. However, no point in what might have been. The fans I spoke to before the meeting said a win was going to be difficult and that was before we knew that Bjerre was stuck in traffic. Wolves were determined to take advantage of the opportunity and fought hard for their win. We are still in the fight for the play offs but could now be a three way fight with Wolves and maybe King's Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think KL have too much to do. Would be funny if KL made it and Cook got banned from the playoffs though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 King's Lynn are strong at home and if Fricke is still unfit we shall struggle for a good guest again as only Wolves not riding. They are also good at the NSS so could pick up points when we race them on Monday. They are the outsiders of the three contenders for the 4th place but I wouldn't rule them out.
