How we could do with Nicholls in the team right now

https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-report-ipswich-44-46-belle-vue-sports-insure-premiership-r2-h/ interesting that it’s Louis & not Hawkins offering his thoughts on last night.

Trouble is he goes missing at key times like last night, and rides lines at Foxhall that are clearly not working.

The decision to go with the two weakest options to replace Jack Thomas is unforgivable & really should have some explanation as to why those choices were made. It was always going to be a tough first year for Rew although this week he has looked a better rider. Definitely worth keeping & must be in the team next year. He is the type of rider we need young & hungry. King well my own personal opinion he should have been no where near Ipswich in 23. Far to inconsistent & given the amount of time spent at Foxhall his inability to ride it at times in amazing. Time & time again rides the wrong lines that clearly aren’t working & is beaten/passed by riders who he should be showing a clean pair of heels to at home. Riss has been unfortunate with the illness that has struck him, however he should have been replaced by now as clearly isn’t up to it & isn't fit. Hume is a great little rider gives it 100% & gets stuck in unlike some. He has had way to much pressure put on his shoulders because of the Thompson & Riss scenario. Emil & Jason what can you say…….pure class pure entertainment. I’d love to see both or at least one back again next year although let’s be honest the state of the league may dictate that doesn’t happen.

Oh dear great words from the skipper in the press after Sheffield but failed to deliver again…….I’m trying to be positive but that’s that now play offs gone

Tarasenko For Riss?

I don’t think so, the teams that Louis has put together have in the main been good but we have been unlucky with injuries over the years. Only 2021 was a poor year. And don’t forget that Louis also runs a club that doesn’t have the financial issues that seem to blight many these days. Hawkins is also a promoter so he isn’t going anywhere but his position as team manager must be looked at. id like to see Mark Loram involved in the set up helping bring on the youngsters although he’d make a good manager if he could fit it around his business commitments.

I have some sympathy with Louis. The pre season loss of Thomas was massive & the illness issues Riss has had has been a blow. Both those guys fully fit in the team then I think we’re looking at a completely different scenario. however to get the replacement of Thomas wrong twice is unforgivable & Riss should have been permanently replaced with someone other than Barker. what’s left for this season? Either bring in two riders & go for broke trying to make the play off of bring in a couple for with a view to next season & get Doyle’s average down a bit. as for next year I really hope Emil stays on board, Emil, doyle on a lower average & Rew for next year. the rest requires a clear out…….although the make up of the league (s) will have a big impact on what comes next. up the witches

Just in case you were worried about your number one fan, as he has gone very quite. I’m pleased to let you know basso racing fan has appeared safe & well talking his brand of bollocks on the Sheffield Ipswich thread.

Good to see you’re well…. I’ve been worried you have gone very quite on the Peterborough thread since Johnson quit

Tungate for Riss again

I’d start with Emil…. The concern is what the state of the league will be next year

Said it before but let’s say it again if there is any chance two changes have got to be made. The injury to Thomas pre season was a major blow but to replace him twice with the weakest options was & still is baffling. Add in the issues with Riss it’s certainly been a tough one!

Given the current shambles I’m surprised there is such a thing as a promoters license…..

Sitting in seat number one we have guest dog buster who is making his debut tonight. replacing Mr Smith who unfortunately had been double booked to drink coffee at the local Costa drive though. we are also operating crowd replacement in the back straight stand. Reason unknown but expect a statement tomorrow

We’re the BSPL/SCB & yes we do think you are all that stupid!!

Maybe the BSPA are in on this “great reset” idea? Every country will install speedway as its national sport……in a few years Belle Vue will be riding in front of sellout crowds at old Trafford following a stadium swap with Manchester United due to the lack of interest in football.

I don’t believe any of it to be honest. I don’t think he was ever going to be at Wolves last night.

He did mention this in his interview at the go last weekend with Scotty. it’s great news for speedway if it happens….I wonder where he will end up? my only concern is what sort of premiership will there be next year

The issue here is that it was well documented last week on here,social media etc that Laguta would be missing from the Lynn line up on Monday. now 24 hours after the event a statement is released which isn’t believable stating that a doctors certificate was produced yesterday. let’s face Laguta was never going to appear at wolves that had been know for a week & the scb was issued this today after being made to look silly with all the where is Artem tweets on live tv last night…..

He could be on a 10 & Peterborough would still be under the limit!

Laguta is about as injured as the pit gate was broken earlier in the season. Buster is certainly getting his moneys worth from the ladybird book of bullrubbish this season

Not really buster managed to get you a facility for pedersen

Agreed he has been awesome, fingers crossed Louis can retain him in 2024

The big balls up was putting King anywhere near this team, far to hit & miss last season & has proved so agin this
