Probably a routine home win unless its too hot for the Poole riders on their way to the stadium then Worky might be in with a chance. ☀️

If Birmingham had any tactical nous, they only should have made the swap on the agreement that Edwards would regain his place when fit. Just be honest with Hagon from the start "you have a temporary team spot". I'm sure Hagon wouldn't have turned that down - he had no other Premiership options. Can't believe how inept the team planning has been!

But Birmingham look weaker than they did earlier in the season, so Ipswich shouldn't have to be as good to score 60? Brummies won't have a reserve like Lynn did to cause trouble.

Another way to look at it, Starke beat Harrison, which Cairns couldn't do in heat 2. Starke then had a second place behind Steve Worrall. Starke then had the struggling Declan Kennedy taken out of a heat & lost to Zaine & Mountain. Starke then faced Mountain & tac sub Worrall! Who should Starke have beaten that he didn't? Worrall or Mountain (who Cairns didn't meet)? You wouldn't expect a 4 point away reserve to beat a 5 point home reserve (Zaine)! Now Cairns obviously came on string as the match went on, beating Zaine twice, which is brilliant for a 2 pointer, I take nothing away from him. But you can't deny Starke had harder rides & scored the same. That's not saying Cairns should have done better, just that Starke is being harshly judged imo.

Well they both got the same score from same amount of rides looking at updates site. 

Did he? Must have missed it! He beat Harrison and a very off form Lambert. Cairns was much more impressive.
