89buttons 761 Posted September 16, 2023 Another 48-42 first leg loss will do nicely! Emil 12 danyon 4 danny 8 erik 3 doyle 10 kenny 5 smith 0 42 when you piece it together like this doesn’t look that unrealistic if everyone rides like they did in ko cup final!

Where is Kurtz riding? Monday will be off so more time for riders to recover. Edited September 16, 2023 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Smith is a shrewd choice for the NSS and is more than capable of taking points off Bailey. Smith beat Bailey twice in heats 13 and 15 around there a few weeks ago riding for the Colts.

Yes but he does ride for Belle Vue Colts and his dad rode for Belle Vue so not expecting too much 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted September 16, 2023 Think Belle Vue will see this as their biggest hurdle to retaining their title. Get through this and they’ll be more than confident of beating either of the other two over two legs in the final. Same goes for us actually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,257 Posted September 16, 2023 Nothing against Jack Smith for taking the guest booking, extra earnings and wants to prove himself. But bit farcical a Belle Vue junior could potentially help knock the senior team out of the playoffs. Bailey will have the beating of him though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,227 Posted September 16, 2023 Something like this imo, Ipswich should be putting up 41-43 points on Monday imo. Emil 12+ Hume 1 King 8 Riss 2 Doyle 10 Rew 7 to 9 points Smith 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,257 Posted September 16, 2023 My concern is Norick Blodorn now, he will 1 minute ago, Badge said: Any news on Blodorn? That was a nasty off last night. He is my concern, he will be having 6 rides in these play offs with likely taking 2 R/R rides. If he rides not fit will be big problem for Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with this (apart from the last bit ) Smith in a difficult position - scores well and could hurt his own club If he fails to score there will be some who question his commitment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
