He was our trump card on our last visit to Swindon. Scored a massive 3 points from 5,,, but that wasn't a play off,,,, and everyone knows about play off Bomber. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 A really strong performance from the Robins and you had to feel for the Wolves because the gods spoilt it for them on Wednesday evening.The track was slick but the track was superb very smooth and Doyle, Ellis,Rasser really attacked the track and riders later on in the meeting were going wider and wider on bend two.Give a good mention to Kyle Howarth he was gritty and was pretty quick and was impressive next is Ippo and good luck to both sides.

His starting seems better and he is fast and gone. But when in a heat without Doyle he seems less confident. Do Swindon fans notice this? He has continued to improve and seems to be close to becoming third heat leader. Just a little inconsistent. He's been very good this season and him and Doyley ride well together. A cert to be back next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a solid year and is one of the few who has the pace to stay with Doyley.What i like about Adam is if he has a duff ride here and there he responds he never goes missing he is Swindon's gain and Poole's loss.

FAST GATER Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well done to the Robins the best team on both nights ,it helps to have the best rider in the league in your team( I would have dearly loved Fast Freddie to have been there to wipe the smirks off his and Rossco's faces)but it is what it is as they say . I think that the Robins will go on to win the title and after the issues with you track and stadium it is no more than the fans deserve,as for Wolves 4/5 taxis are in order I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he career is on the up....just needs to cut some silly starting mistakes out but other than that he's one of the first names on next year's team sheet, an absolute must in my eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Never understood Matt Fords call to not bring Adam Ellis back to Poole. A likeable rider who did well in the season he had with us. Thought it was a mistake at the time and Matts error was certainly Swindon’s gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle, Ellis and Perks have all left the FPA recently after being discarded by Poole. Doyle becoming World Champion. Adam has continued to improve in each of the 3 years he has been at The Abbey and young Perks has stepped up massively on his previous showings in Robins colours with his ‘never say die’ attitude and effort not in doubt. I wouldn’t be surprised to see all 3 in the 2020 line up. Are these examples because Rosco is a better motivator than Neil, creating a team ethic and bringing out the best out of riders or is it Swindon are just a bigger and better run club? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall Perks ever riding for Poole (unless I blinked and missed it!) was just signed as an asset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't want to take the risk on the high average he had at the time - Swindon took the risk and he continues to improve! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon bought him from Lakeside, a side he rode for before Poole. Edited October 11, 2019 by robins les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time people thought Poole were going to buy him off Lakeside and loan him to Swindon but that didn't materialise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go's to show that Poole fans don't know everything as some seem to assume they do. It's not often that Ford bought an asset, usually brings them in from the continent, rides them for 1 season & then drops them. I'm not sure that you will see Poole or any other club buying assets now as most clubs are struggling with finances now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used quite a few assets this year, the only ones on loan were Covatti, Wells/Richie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
