Beowulf 1,512 Posted May 9, 2022 The injury to Douglas should mean Ipswich's chances of getting something from the meeting have gone up quite a few notches now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Witches got to be targeting at least a point here. Hume replaces Rowe for Witches. Didn't he get 14 there last week??! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to pull a fast one here as the club can replace Rowe with Hume at any time they wish without giving a reason. Agree with all your points here!

szkocjasid 2,841 Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) If Rowe is ill does he not have to take a 10 day break for a "non speedway injury"? If so, just use Hume & don't announce Rowe is ill! Actually there's no advantage to saying Rowe is ill, just announce / tell Hume you're giving him a shot because you have faith in his ability / form. Would do far more for his confidence than saying "we're only using you because Rowe is ill". Edited May 9, 2022 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a no-lose for the home team, who are guaranteed a point, but could get three - while the away team, after earning two points for a draw could end up with only one thanks to the stupid additional race Edited May 9, 2022 by Roger Jacobs 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? Jorgensen rode Monmore really well last Monday - indeed, was the only rider to provide genuine excitement in a very dull match. Absolutely anything from this match will be a bonus for the Witches. Hopefully the new line-up can ride with more zest than recent years.
