Gavan 5,050 Posted September 29, 2017 Think 16 points is just going to be to much for us but I'm coming up for this. I can see the loss of Josh G helping Sheffield as he has only scored 6 in both visits this season. We need a minimum of 16 points from the first 4 races to have a chance I feel. Kurtz is usually poor, Bjerre blows hot and cold. A lot could depend on keeping Graversen quiet. The loss of Connor is huge I feel. He would have seen off Wood but I'm not sure Bacon will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntiqueSteve 100 Posted September 29, 2017 Its a tough ask for Ipswich, but I've seen it done before in a Play Off Final, a few 5-1's and its all to play for, but I think if we have got Tom Bacon again its an up hill task... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spanner47 336 Posted September 29, 2017 Best case scenario Rory and Danny = 24 Kyle and Cam = 16 Connor's replacement =1 that leaves Nathan getting 12 from 7. Looking at the updates last night he was gating very well, do this at home and you'd expect him to hold on. Then we win the run off. Are these realistic? Or has that knock on the head sent me doolally? Now we hope that Josh G is fit, as I'm sure they can find a better replacement around our place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted September 29, 2017 I think this will be won with the middle order riders. I have looked back at the previous results & wins by 14 points(1 using a t/r) makes Saturday an interesting affair. In both meetings, the top 2 riders put Ipswich in front, Bjerre & Bates did not score well, reserves cancelled each other out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iandean3 24 Posted September 29, 2017 Got back from Sheffield a little while ago, a good meeting with some good racing. We were beaten by a better team on the night, but our riders were giving it everything. I would of liked a better score but it is still achievable.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Sheffield have pulled off a trump card there. A much better rider round foxhall than josh could ever be. Well done sheffield on that. Think that's just earned the tigers the title. Sorry folks. Brilliant tactical play by the tigers management 👍👏👏👏 Edited September 29, 2017 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aceslider 218 Posted September 29, 2017 Scott Nichols just announced as guest replacement for Josh G Yet again guests will have an arguably significant influence on who wins silverware. I recall last year Sheffield used Ricky Wells, Robert Brandford and Lewis Kerr as guests against Newcastle in the semis who combined to tip the balance in Sheffield's favour. Don't have a better solution to offer but in my view definitely takes the edge off the achievement for a team who wins in this fashion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
