Teromaafan 586 Posted May 25, 2023 Only followed the updates, but it seems that the Lions can hold their heads up tonight. Fewer last places than Ipswich, but when scores are tight, they will almost always outscore the opposition (home or away) in heats 13 to 15. R/R yielded 9 points, so can’t really use that as an excuse for Lawson’s absence. At the start of the season the gaffer said that Sedgmen and Allen would be jockeying for a reserve berth. The way Justin ‘Sedgsation’ (cheesy I know, but tabloid journalists make a living conjuring up such crap) is going, he’s more likely to be troubling the third heat leader slot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted May 25, 2023 Morris is already reviewing his set up for his next Foxhall visit. Putting glue on his a*se will be the first priority! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralMelchett 482 Posted May 26, 2023 Wasn't at this one but will be there 1st June - Good night for Danyon again, seems that meetings are the same as last year - lots of narrow home wins seem to be the order of the day - a different style of team building doesn't appear to have affected that outcome!

Aries 440 Posted May 27, 2023 Thompson again struggling. You have to wonder how long they’ll give him before making a change there. He’s even struggling for points in the reserve berth in the Championship. Meanwhile you have the likes of Connor Bailey scoring paid double figures in the main body of the Redcar team and beating the likes of Basso and Chris Harris! Not Just Ipswich but Belle Vue also made very strange choices for their rising star positions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh tho he is consistently scoring especially at home, 9 odd points is more than his fair share, need another reserve that is up to the prem standard who can take some of the other rides so he’s not constantly ending up doing 7 or 3 races in 4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree if they’ve known about his arm pump issue then you wonder why they waited so long on Riss and giving him an extra 2 R/R rides every meeting. Also agree on the other reserve, Ipswich have to make a change there if they’re serious about challenging. I’d be on the blower to Connor Bailey personally.

Pre-season Belle Vue & Ipswich must have known there were better options out there, but instead went for the rising stars they chose. Mulford & Joe T struggling is no shock, but I don't expect changes because they've already chosen not to pick the strongest option available! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, witches didn't pick Joe T from the start, he is a replacement, possibly the best of the rest in terms of availability at the time.... taking into account that Rowe and Kemp maybe aren't interested that is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the interviews after the signing, it sounded like Ipswich didn't try to get Rowe or Kemp, I'm sure the phrase was along the lines of "wanting to try something new for the RS berth".
