Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 30, 2016 Just went to look on the Web site to see if any news but obviously nothing has happened in ages, so I looked at the fixtures list and noticed there are some yellow bits on it, anyone know what they are or what it means?

BluTiger 21,701 Posted March 30, 2016 Simon Stead is listed in the Sheffield team for Thursday's visit of Boro, so he should be at Foxhall on Saturday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZODIAK 304 Posted March 30, 2016 Simon Stead is listed in the Sheffield team for Thursday's visit of Boro, so he should be at Foxhall on Saturday... Good stuff always good value around Foxhall is Stead Should be some good battles between him, King and Covatti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZODIAK 304 Posted March 30, 2016 Bit disappointing. Think I'd use Sargeant and Paco early doors and try and stay in the hunt, and then use Risager and Covatti later in the meeting to hopefully finish strongly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Is that really the best option? Oh well I suppose it must be. Very underwhelmed. Don't fancy our chances to be honest. And hkp surely it could be Ritchings with the extra ride if paco doesn't beat him in heat 2. Actually rr will be in heat one, so who knows Edited March 30, 2016 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 30, 2016 now been confirmed on ipswichwitches.co RR at 2 and Sarj moves to 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted March 30, 2016 Surprised that Ipswich have not gone with a Guest for Kerr, I think that it will level the teams out. It could come down to the reserves from both teams, certainly think if my Tigers ride to their own capabilities we can get some sort of result from this meeting.

Especially with the way our reserves rode at home to Scunny. Fingers crossed Paco can get a point or two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 30, 2016 Can only see rr getting 5, maybe 6 if Danny let's nico or morten win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icicle 896 Posted March 30, 2016 Not the best option I fear..However, if there is some shale on track, hope Witches win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZODIAK 304 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Ritchings scored 4 points which is not bad for an unknown 3 pointer. Wasn't impressed with either reserve TBH. Ritchings scored 4 from 5 rides, but only beat Josh Bailey twice out of three meetings between the two. His other two came from Sargeant falling and finishing ahead of Paco in heat two. He certainly looked the better of the two and more competitive than Paco so deserved the extra ride. Not getting on his back as it's very early days I'm just giving my honest opinion on what I saw that night. Bailey is nearly a point and half below Ritchings in the NL averages and I think you want to be beating your opposite number at home at least so Ritchings will be disappointed to have been beaten by him in heat two. I have faith though that both reserves will do fine in the long run. I've said many times that I think Paco will be nearer the 5 point mark than the 3, and Ritchings started his NL season well and there are worse riders than him around in the number 7 berth. My main concern at the moment though is Paco at Foxhall. He's looked absolutely terrible on the two occasions we've seen him and when a rider openly states that he struggles to get around then that is a concern. Surely he must get better the more he rides it? He may never be a track specialist, but you'd expect any professional rider to improve around their home track the more he rides it.
