Lol I think all we want is decent refs Doyle should never have gone and Wright should never have been excluded ….. I’m an Ipswich fan but a speedway fan first so I’d like to think I’m not biased lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted July 17, 2023 King had one good ride when he beat Kurtz …. We lost by 8 … he was on the end of a 5-1 in heat 10 and heat 12 …. Keep those close we can get closer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted July 17, 2023 We lost again not because of King, but because we’re continuing to carry an unfit 6 point man who is contributing next to nothing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither do i. He started the season on 6.41. He has averaged 6.62 before tonight. Tonight 10 from 5 is 8.00.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garry1603 353 Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Ipswich ran the Aces closer than I thought. The best team won in the end but the referee nearly spoilt it for everyone. Luckily the bad decisions just about evened out, but that's no excuse for incompetency of that level. Doyle wasn't to blame for Bewley's fall and Wright hardly moved a centimetre - do the refs get assessed? If so, tonight should warrant a demotion. On a positive note, Emil Sayfutdinov goes up in my estimation every time I've seen him this season - a racer right to the end.

Keep those close we can get closer I don't really understand your hatred for Danny King, he has had absolutely no support from Riss in recent weeks so whenever he has a poor ride it is always a 5-1. I feel you expect him to ride at Sayfutinov level every week which is unrealistic and his average has improved despite the premiership being a higher level imo this year. The reason Ipswich lost is Riss. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason Ipswich lost is Riss. For me it's nothing to do with averages, it's when he loses at crucial times to second strings and reserves. The points in heat 15 tonight didn't matter but the losses earlier did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has increased his average tonight, 2 wins too and as someone else alluded to above he has no backup right now from his race partner for his first 3 rides for sure. One of the 5-1s he conceded was Bewley and Blordorn who are no slouches round the NSS - He can't be expected to win every race! Heat 12 however I am grimacing a wee bit as he had beaten Tom Brennan already - Danny clearly has it in his locker to beat Kurtz and Brennan in heat 7 so you kind of want him to beat Brennan in heat 12. However no complains from me over having him in the team. His average is now 6.90 / 7.23 (quickly did the calculation) Edited July 17, 2023 by GeneralMelchett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
