SUPERACE 440 Posted September 17, 2023 The rain will even it up. I think Doyle is more of a loss of Thursday than tomorrow (Still a loss of course). I'd happily take a 10 point lead into Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losing their top 2, reminds me of 2017 losing Freddie and Jacob in the semi. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given that Belle Vue have two riders out I'd hardly call it good fortune. I'd doubt they consider they have a bye into the final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted September 17, 2023 Might as well bypass the play off semis with the injuries for Ipswich & Sheffield and just run a Belle Vue v Wolves final, with the lack of choices for guests they will be so one sided. Says a lot when the best Ipswich can get to replace a 9.21 rider is Harris on 6.87. In the best interests for speedway, Ipswich should be allowed to use Robert Lambert. I'm sure Steady will be fighting to be allowed to have Jack Holder back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will miss Wright but Lidsey is in great form and Brennan is good at his home track so not as bad as losing Doyle in my opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I think we can all agree that 3 out of the 4 playoff teams are weakened by injuries which is a shame 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 593 Posted September 17, 2023 Despite their own injury problems, the Aces will be desperate for this meeting to go ahead, despite the apparent uphill battle against the weather. An opportunity to take on an Ipswich side without Doyle is there to be exploited. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
