    Nicholls alluded to the difference in team spirit between the two clubs. Not once in heats 13 & 15 did Woofinden look for his team mate, whereas Emil & Doyley did. Surely Woofinden had to try and slow the race down not just go off into the distance. Now that Milik has been dropped maybe he will end up at Sheffield as Howarth's place must be in doubt.

    Hard enough trying to slow 1 rider up around sheffield never mind both Emil Sayfudtinov and Jason Doyle. I’ve never read so much drivel in all my life get back to bed you imbecile.

    Did Sheffield bottle the cup final? Oh yeah they did. And then pick n mix for the final. How is lambert this season? Oh sorry his isn’t part of your team, nor is Harris. And you have the most hated brothers in speedway in the holders. Jack bottled his third place in Grand Prix final when I was in Toruń. Facts. Have a good day ;)

    Another loser hahahahahaha champions let it sink in

    Awwww, did someone pee in your coco pops ?

    Jason Doyle could have the pick of almost every club to ride for. but chooses Ipswich, which is not your club, so you decide to make yourself look a complete idiot on the forum, and not for the first time ! 
     

    By your completely batrubbish reckoning, every sportsman and sportswoman only ever compete for a particular club solely because of money ! Are there some mercenaries like that ? Of course there are,  “Rental Robert” of Norfolk springs to mind, but to suggest absolutely every rider is a mercenary is completely incorrect ! 
     

    I’ll bet you’re fun at parties ! 

    The way you’ve gone off in that reply, I’d say you’re even more fun at parties.

    Ahh, just because Piotr Protasiewicz appeared in the Jason Lyons farewell meeting doesn't mean that he'll be returning to ride for the Brummies next year. He retired a year or two ago. UNLESS you're expecting him to do "a Jason Crump" and shoe horn himself back into a race suit and give it another go, are you? Or is it some other Mickey Mouse rider that you're referring to?

    If you’d say Piotr Pawlicki is a Mickey Mouse rider then fair enough.

    What do Sheffield fans think about putting Jason at 6 and Dan as the RS? You've all watched both of them ride, is it an obvious choice, 50/50, or is there a tactical advantage?

    I’d say Edwards seems to have more bottle, whereas Gilkes has a classier style but has much more potential I think. Both on par with each other I think.

    50/50 decision for me doesn’t really matter much apart from heat 8’s I guess.

    Think other clubs without the financial backing to go top heavy, will see Sheffield’s reserves as an area to exploit by going strength in depth with a strong number 6. Well they don’t have much choice really, but they’ll see that as a way of competing. As eye catching as our (Ipswich) team looked at first glance last year, our tail caught us out far too often. Let’s have it right, if Morris hadn’t have derailed Leicester’s season, we were finishing 5th in a 7 team league and not even making the play offs. Yes the Riss issue didn’t help and if he’d not had issues and rode to his average, we may have won meetings we lost narrowly but still, having a weak tail is and will be a concern. 
     

    Home form will be strong of course, but I think both Woffinden and C Holder will be flaky away from Sheffield, and Howarth and Pickering aren’t great travellers either so that coupled with the weak tail could see them struggle on the road. 

    Let’s have it right, Ipswich’s tail end looked miles weaker than this Sheffield team for next season and I have no doubt they will have another much weaker tail end again next year.

    If Jack Holder rides like he was before he got injured last season I think he has it in him to get his average to around 9.5 and Woffinden looked like a world beater before he crashed out of the British GP.

    Everyone knows Chris Holders ability, people need to remember he came back from a broken neck last season before he joined Sheffield. He will have even more to give next season I think, in a team where he’s going to be 100% fully fit, riding with his brother and lads he gets on very well with.

    Pickering has the ability to push be a number 5 if he goes the right way about it, he will keep the heat leaders on their toes. Think he’s going to have a big season next year in Poland as well as UK. 

    Not much needs to be said about Howarth. 100% commitment on and off the bike, would have a 6.7 average without his bonus points last season so that speaks for itself. 

    The 2 young lads look a big risk at reserve, but the strength of the top 5 should take a bit of pressure off their backs slightly and with the likes of Steady and Woffy with them, I’m sure they will improve more and more. 

    Hard to compare when no other team has  made any announcements (only Basso at KL), never mind a full 7. But I believe we will see Ipswich and Belle Vue (maybe more) going the same way with 2 young British lads in at reserve.

    They look weak at reserve, that can't be denied imo, but that's what you expect when you sign a powerhouse top 5.

    I imagine the same thing will be happening at Ipswich and Belle Vue with their rumoured proposed line ups so far.

     

    Plenty to come from Dan & Jase, hoping the powerhouse top 5 will take pressure off them both slightly.

    Think we’ll see a fair few teams shaping up with 2 young brits at reserve, no fear with Gilkes and Edwards.
     

    Edwards showed glimpses of brilliance at home and away. Dan has a huge future in front of him and lining up in Poland for Pila’s first team and Grudziadz under 24’s will be big for his development.
