Thank you 3 days dont make up for the previous 3 1/2 months

Well the answer must be the team spirit at Ipswich this season is sadly lacking, something Ive suggested at many times before.

No its only for losers but if held Witches must stand a chance if they dont finish bottom

I will second that young Taylor all the best and we need you desperately back.

Thank you Gavan for your vote of confidence, I can assure all on the forum we are not the same person. Yes its time for a wake up call among those fans who just dont grasp the truth whats happening at foxhall. Now Louis has dropped a league he is now in his comfort zone with much less layout of money but notice the gate money is very little less than in the elite and the £2.50 programme is shocking. Sign genuine heatleaders? no! cost more than riders like Doolan, Lanham and Risager all going backwards in their careers and now our young 3 Aussies are losing their form also because of the "senior" riders not pulling their weight. Also yes these are sad days indeed and cant remember such a lack of comradeship among the riders with the likes of Lanham riding his own riders out for a point in a 1-5 loss and now the fan base is deteriorating at a fast pace with gaps everywhere on the terraces.

So if these averages are correct Doolans average is still going down along with Lanhams. No wonder Witches will not have any success this season with 2 deadbeat hasbeens in the team.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! FAME AT LAST I must be making a good impression if I get mentioned over the tannoy at last nights meeting against Glasgow. Its good to get the recognition by Kevin Long my truthful straight to the point comments deserve, well done that man

Well said my friend exactly WHY NOT??? Its not strange thats not the right word but try always on the cheap even now in the inferior and cheap premier league. Idiots on here say its not a business thing well it is and louis are just out to make more profit than in the elite league just all of you wise up to that fact. While louis run Ipswich NO success will be achieved SAD!!! obviously nothing better to do lol

Usual drivel by a perfect specimen of a louis is god lover

Well I was not referring to you Super Blue as I know like myself you are also a realist and realise whats happening at Ipswich these mediocre days. Yes riders signed by louis have underachieved but namely Doolan and Risager are on the way down and will simply not improve. As regards Tressarreui well I would never have signed him in the first place with a 6.9 average 1.4 below what was left. An 8.3 rider in at no1 would have made all the difference in the world but louis went for the soft option as always. Dak has been superb and so has Rohan and young Heeps has also upped his average even though he is only 16. Taylor sadly injured so Lanham was signed, well we all know how he cant ride foxhall if riding for the Witches, so WHY in hells name sign him oh yes!!! he is mates with louis So its understandable the Witches will struggle to make the play-offs and will once again win f-all Been brainwashed by the louis is god lovers.

Totally agree Gavan but knowing the mentality of a lot of Witches fans on this site its no surprise to me at all. Honestly think they would be happy with bottom of the league every year as long as its in the premier league and being run by louis.

Well I never what a surprise the Witches were not in the top 8 - NOT!!! No wonder with our super no1 and no2

Could not agree more Nick, the signing of Morten Risager and Kevin Doolan was a total waste of money with both riders going backwards in their careers. These deals just goes to show what poor businessmen the louis are and thats why the Witches are doomed to mediocrity and lack of success in the inferior premier league.

??? sorry baldy happy with winning nothing and lanham riding like a reserve at no1 I doubt that statement very much. Jesper at no1 would be great replace who they like from lanham,Tress,Morten or Doolan or even 2 as may be needed. Stick with Rohan,Taylor,Dak and Cam whatever, gets my vote anytime.

Dont worry baldy its all off a ducks (quack) back in my case, I dont care a sh*t what others say. I will ALWAYS put across my unbiased realist postings, someone on this site has to and why not me Its not all honey and spice at foxhall by a long way. Mmmmm difficult one lanham or Jesper lol

Well has so called depth done the Witches any good, tell me apart from that egg cup the 4TT what have they won or likely to win with this kind of built team??? A genuine no2 is a rider capable of helping his no1 win heats 13 and 15 easy-peesy!!! But oh dear me the Witches dont have a genuine no1 unless Lanhams 7.5 is lol Well said my friend at last someone like myself joins the REAL world how VERY refreshing. Trouble is most who post on here think louis is god and can do no wrong but as you say his team building is poor with no genuine no1 and will win nothing. Lanham as a no1 is a joke and not a good one, get rid sharpish I say.

A big clear out is needed before 2013 and just keep Rohan,Dak and Cam. For gods sake louis sign a genuine no1 and no2.

Well Taylor Poole when fit would go straight back into my team and take Lanhams place, easy decision. Louis said take an underperformers place well theres no bigger underperformer than Lanham

Somewhere in the middle because he is full of hot air and we all know how that can stink

So so true spot on!!! there always has to be one smart arse around and we all know who that one is lol

Just read what Morten has to say about new season and he speaks alot of sense not setting any targets like last season which he found impossible to reach.

Just heard that Newport have been pulled out of the premier league, another sad day for speedway

All this talk of no British riders riding for the Witches this coming season is tinged with sour grapes I feel by other teams fans. Chris Louis is running a business and if that mean no British riders so be it for success and keeping the fans happy and going through the turnstiles. There is a dearth of good young British riders at the moment and cannot think of any that are anywhere near the potential of our young Aussies. Also with the elite league in Chris's thoughts in the not to distant future, these Aussie youngsters are sure to make up part of the side when that comes about.

Those averages you forecast are huge increases on their present ones and perhaps some can actually achieve those but all 7 riders is a big ask. I think on new equipement Kevin can certainly improve a great deal and who knows could become that no1 we need but expect an average of 8 from him. Morten I can see improving but by perhaps 0.5 - 1.0 points. Matt without long track commitments can improve a little say 0.5. Taylor certainly can improve about 1.0 I would say. Dakota I expect to stay about the same as he is great at foxhall but away not so sure. Then we come to the reserves who we are all raging about. Rohan Ive never seen so have to go on his Aussie form which has been great, so will expect an improvement on his 5 to something like 6.5 perhaps. Cameron is a fantastic talent but as Chris Louis says needs to learn to gate he cannot always come from the back. So an improvement from 3 to around 4.5 sounds plausable to me. So now adding my possible averages up its 8.0,7.3,7.4,7.9,5.6,6.5 & 4.5 = 47.2 I feel these are realistic averages to hope for without getting carried away and obviously they all have to stay clear of injuries to achieve these. Otherwise I expect some of those to dip below what I forecast. I will stick with my forecast of finishing in the top 6 and leave it at that. Could not agree more about Kevin being a great lad reddan. He is also a great captain the best Pete has worked with he says and knowing all this lets all hope he gets his act together on track and achieve that genuine no1 status. But remember its a huge increase from 7.19 to whats needed but heres hoping.

We must remember baldyman the Witches do not have a genuine no1 and this eventually will be decisive when the reckoning comes in my opinion. I think the Witches will make the play-offs due to us being so solid especially at the bottom end but the championship - no! Personally I think Somerset are favourites and if staying clear of injuries are destined for the title.
