  1. Don’t be daft. He apparently fell heavily in his final ride. Got up and won the rerun granted, but benefit of the doubt here surely.
  2. My mistake it’s was today not yesterday https://twitter.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1136340295275225088?s=21
  3. And now RR for KP. Apparently damaged his knee in Poland yesterday.
  4. Allen withdrawn from our meeting this Thursday as he found last night too painful on his shoulder. Can add that to the ifs what’s and maybes re the result
  5. Explains Allen’s subdued performance last night. Wise to take it easy rather than more damage
  6. https://ipswichwitches.co/ipswich-v-peterborough-raceday-preview/ RR for Andersen.
  7. Don’t agree. If we had bigger hitters up top we wouldn’t have the strength in reserve or the solid look from top to bottom. We’ve beaten teams comfortably this year with our top scorer not even hitting double figures. The team is built so that every rider from 1-7 score half decent points, which totals up to winning meetings, and being competitive in others. Belle Vue are a good side, especially at home obviously, but if this was a play off final I’d fancy our chances of finishing this off at Foxhall.
  8. Would snap your hand off for that right now. Belle Vue by 10.
  9. Great was really looking forward to seeing him back at Foxhall next week. Hope he’s back fit soon.
  10. Reruns version of Monday’s BT sport meeting heat 9. Got the riders names right at least but poor work from the camera man who missed the crucial part of the whole race!
  11. For what it’s worth Badge I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the racing this year! More than previous seasons and I never thought I’d be saying that
  12. Baldyman’s right there’s not usually that much dirt on the track as there was Monday. Whether the overnight rain played a part in that I’ve no idea. Ipswich have just uploaded another race from the Poole meeting, this is much more consistent with how the track is prepared although it’s slickened off here as it’s towards the end of the meeting On another note, why does everyone not know who Heeps is anymore? He turned in to Bellego on Monday and he’s turned in to Jake Allen here! Poor Cam
  13. Not sure Rory has ever been known for his racing. Heeps is a racer, and the lines he tries like we saw on Monday, are the exact same lines you’d expect “bomber” to be using. Alas we’ve seen nothing of the sort from Harris. He’s been hugely disappointing so far not just because of his points scored, but for the entertainment value you’d expect from him. Still time to see that of course and let’s hope we see it soon.
  14. The only argument I can make for not making a change, is that a lot has been made of a close knit group who have a great team spirit and they’re all helping each other and they don’t want to upset the applecart while things are going so well.
  15. I have to agree with Baldyman here. You should never rest on your laurels and we clearly have a rider that is not up to the job. Peterborough have strengthened up already and you can bet your bottom dollar somebody will sign Cook in the not too distant future on a bargain average and they’ll suddenly look strong whoever it is. Things can change very quickly and you could easily be in the position at the end of the season saying what ifs. Too late then. Why not improve further if the opportunity is there to do so?
  16. Lawson is doing everything expected of him. He isn’t a Premiership heatleader and never has been. He’s a solid middle order 6 pointer and that’s exactly what we’re getting. Hes doing fine.
  17. Think it was a big missed opportunity by Wolves in all honesty Steve. We made numerous errors early doors and were missing our key rider. When Wolves kept getting their noses in front I thought that was that. Any away point is good, but I’m sure most Wolves supporters would have seen this one as a missed opportunity.
  18. Definitely. He as much as anyone helped with the win tonight by pulling off a couple of great rides just when it looked like the meeting could get away from us. He came good just when we badly needed it.
  19. I dunno about that Baldy, that was definitely the case with JL in charge, less so with CL. We’ve even tried to make changes when we weren’t allowed to
  20. He only rode one track well, and that was Swindon’s big open track which he loved. They’ve even shortened that now and he didn’t like it the other week! His Away form has always been rubbish. He has a 6-7 point average solely due to scoring heavily on the old Swindon track. He’s a weak link and it could end up costing us a successful season if we don’t act before his average drops.
  21. Totally agree but can’t see too many options?
