They are nothing like as bad as is being made out. whilst I dont see a win I agree we are a much better side than as is currently claimed by some. Some poor form but when/if we get it right we will be a match for anyone. This weekend may be too early for that type of performance but Im confident it will come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoda 81 Posted May 14, 2014 Can you enlighten me as to what this is about? If I remember correctly he had an unbelievable no show last year but don't know the story behind it. He always seems to pick up an "old" injury at Ipswich the night before he's due at Edinburgh . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardinalSin 346 Posted May 14, 2014 I can actually see Ippo winning this one. They are nothing like as bad as is being made out. We started the season very well, but the last few meetings we've looked absolutely woeful. Not just losing, but getting absolutely mauled. Like I say though we started brightly, so it's a bit puzzling why we went from good, to downright dreadful with nothing in between. One thing that has definitely hurt us so far this year though, is Heeps' struggles. This is a kid who jumped from reserve last year, to the difficult number 2 position in the team, and continued scoring brilliantly there putting a couple of points on his average and walking away with the rider of the year awards. We all know about his wrist, it was operated on unsuccessfully last winter, and a second op literally weeks before the season started. Louis has since came out and said the wrist isn't a problem, but I'm not convinced with that at all. The lad himself said it was a problem at Plymouth because of the track conditions, so is he still struggling with it or not? Watching him race, he looks quick enough early doors, but then noticeably slows as the races go on and sometimes drifts wide looking like he's struggling to hang on. We were banking on Heeps being one of the heatleaders this year, and he's riding like an average reserve, that's hurting us. If Louis says the wrist isn't the problem, then we have to take his word for that. If he's right, then it's another baffling one how he can look so good last year, to so poor this year. That is some turnaround in form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 14, 2014 Edinburgh to win by 40. The operation Cameron had on his wrist was to take away the nerves or nerve, so he doesn't feel pain in his wrist, so I'm guessing it's just bad form. Last season he gated well so got plenty of race wins, this season he is gating like a junior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willowman 212 Posted May 14, 2014 He always seems to pick up an "old" injury at Ipswich the night before he's due at Edinburgh . Okay, thanks for that. I was on the right kind of line then. That is really what I meant by "unbelievable". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted May 14, 2014 A heat win for the Witches would be good. 40 points a bonus. Anything more will be like winning the lottery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
springdale 45 Posted May 14, 2014 I can actually see Ippo winning this one. They are nothing like as bad as is being made out. I can't see anyone beating the Monarchs full stop, they kept Cookie this season and he has to be the best number one in the PL by a long way, and are a very strong side 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
