Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Could have sworn Rory is currently number 1 and has been for the majority of the season. And when you say big hitter only one rider has an average higher, that being Cook. So in reality Rory is a pretty big hitter Edited September 14, 2018 by Baldyman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Irving 388 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, TheScotsman said: Should stick with his day job whatever that is. Bring in a decent track man. Said this before. Bob Ellis is bloody useless as a trackman. Just because someone has given many years of service doesn’t automatically make them good at what they do. Could I do better? Well no I couldn’t. That’s why I haven’t offered my services. If you do offer your services and take on the role, then you have to be prepared to accept criticism if it looks like you’re doing a poor job. Again as I’ve said before, there is a reason why Ipswich have never been shortlisted for track of the year, voted for by referees. Its because the trackman is crap and doesn’t consistently produce a good racing surface. Simple as that. Do the people of Ipswich a favour Mr Ellis, and retire from track prep duties. Let someone else have a bash that just MIGHT, produce a decent racing strip. I may just then pop along to watch.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,692 Posted September 14, 2018 I have criticised last nights track but in no way would I describe Bob Ellis as a crap trackman - far from it Bob had produced a consistent and very good surface for many many seasons. It is only relatively recently it has been more problematic but I would say Bobs experience has actually saved it from being much worse rather than caused its demise The last few weeks has seen a major decline. I would say however that may well be the result of significant damage done as a consequence of the original Glasgow meeting remedial work and subsequent call off Whatever Bobs words last night and actions in his preparations I think it is grossly unfair to label him as useless 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see Richard a Glasgow asset scoring well against us, almost but not quite like Rory Schlein when he guested for us earlier in the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scheiln has spent most of the season at 1 in a poor side , even I know that and I am not an Ipswich fan! be shocked if he wasnt in the top 5 league averages . If he isnt a bigger hitter , then who is? ipswich side needs a clear out. Out with covatti and Heeps. Edited September 14, 2018 by Pinny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuckootoyou 29 Posted September 14, 2018 Rory dropped back below Danny at the start of the month. Lawson guested for Danny last night. Thumbs up to Gavin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumbs up to Gavin That isnt the argument. Scheiln has averaged about 9 this season mainly from number one. That is classed as a big hitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuckootoyou 29 Posted September 14, 2018 Wasn't arguing with anyone just pointing out a fact. Rory is a big hitter for sure, as is Danny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,069 Posted September 14, 2018 Speaking to Mrs Paulco on the phone this morning , she was still buzzing . But despite her undoubted joy at last night's wonderful result for us , the one thing that came across from her was that she was blown away with how nice and welcoming the Ipswich supporters and staff were towards her and her pal , Dorothy 58 . They were probably the only two Tigers fans there last night , so a big thanks to you all for showing how great Suffolk hospitality is . I've had enough brilliant nights following the Tigers down to Foxhall to know what she said was true . As a club you might have missed out on the play offs , but as a welcoming support you have no peers. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strong top 2 and 2 strong reserves is the way forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
