Charlieboy 412 Posted July 5, 2021 Not really they earned the point by recovering well against a good wolves team. We made a good choice of guest that made a difference but that’s speedway isn’t it we don’t usually have a good record with guests It’s same for every team horses for corses. With Ipswich winning we drop a place so I wouldn’t say we were lucky 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's four points the Tigers have had in the past four evenings, courtesy of the Witches and now the Aces... Only the Stars, Panthers and Wolves left now... (But not sure the Stars have anyone they would want to use).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly so Scott Nichols got 10 for kings Lynn and worrall got 5+1 for Ipswich tonight. So if Nichols don’t get 10 kings Lynn get a bigger pasting and Worralls point help Ipswich get the win it’s what happens in speedway. You either get a good guest or a bad one it’s the nature of the beast. So are you not expecting wolves to need a guest before the end of the season ? Swings and roundabouts always has been always will be 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he really coming back? He’s a danger to himself and everyone else, plenty more Rising Stars to choose from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 412 Posted July 5, 2021 That would be my choice. I didn’t want him in the first place. He’s a liability and a danger to himself as well as others. He’s been over trying and it’s not worked for him. He will do some serious damage if he’s not careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swings and roundabouts always has been always will be Of course Wolves will need a guest at some point but that is not the point. Bates score tonight, based on his previous performance would have have been zero and Brennan scored 4 +3. Therefore quite simply, Sheffield were lucky that Bates was "unavailable". Of course that is not to take away from the rest of the Sheffield team which did well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bates scored 2 on his last visit and this time Ellis and Holder scored 5 less between them So Brennan scored 2 more than Bates That was the last meeting this one is a new one. Somewhere you will get a guest who will get you a win or a point so I suppose that will be different from your perspective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich are using guests for Crump some will score more than he would some will score less. He’s not the Crump he was scoring heavily every meeting as we can see by his scores 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
