Leicester are the team to beat … comfortably beat Belle Vue over 2 legs and now beat Sheffield over 2 legs -

Why on earth did Sheffield not use a Tac sun in heat 10?? Crazy decision by stead can see Sheffield getting heat advantages in heats 12 and 13 then they are weak in heat 14 and won’t be able to use a tag sun so expect to see Flint and Kemp If Sheffield lose will Stead talk about injuries again lol ….. yes they lost Tai which was tough but try losing Doyle and Thompson and King not fit and Jenkins out for the season … they had Picko and Flint out for a bit -
Yep I agree they are and they know how to win trophies But if Workington can beat you over two legs other sides will look at that and think they can to…… similar as I said to us at Ipswich being beaten fair and square by Lynn in the cup You didnt lose tonight but confidence is habit that’s nice to be into but a real pain when it goes … i would never have expected the 2 results against Workington and surely all Poole fans would have not seen it coming either

I know the league isn’t won in July As an Ipswich fan we were touted as the best team in the top league but injuries and certain riders off form means we aren’t certain of winning anything as proven by Kings Lynn being the better side over 2 legs in the cup beating us fair and square Most , not all , Poole fans on here are awful losers …. Maybe these 2 matches have given them a reality check that the league isn’t a cakewalk The fact is they have been beaten over 2 legs by Workington … it doesn’t matter when in the season it is April or July they lost … Workington had their two top riders off form and their third heat leader missing Poole are the best side in the league but they can get complacent … no offence to Workington but if they can beat Poole over 2 legs then others certainly can

Of course Belle Vue is the best race track but you can have great races without passing When Belle Vue came to Ipswich recently …Zach Cook and Dan Thompson had a great race throwing the bikes at each other for 4 laps and to me that was just as entertaining as heat 15 when Danny King rode round Kurtz The point I’m making is the NSS van provide certain races that other tracks cant … the final of the British final for one But to just as guys fly round the outside to pass isn’t that interesting at times Nobody is disputing you have the best track and the best racing

I did laugh when 3 riders at the line and Tatum said ‘that’s 75% of the line up’ and Louis said ‘ i see your maths is getting better Kelv’ ….. an awkward silence followed not sure Tatum was that happy with that comment I did notice that Tatum never mentioned what Sheffield needed to get a draw or win when there was a few races left … maybe decided better of it lol

Heat 13 is designed to have the best 2 riders in it … Doyle Emil Kurtz Bewley Holder Holder Fricke Masters Heat 15 is nominated hence the title …. I think if you are 20 points up going into heat 15 then why risk your best riders -

You aren’t understanding what I mean Nobody wants to see a rider injured of course not Personally if the points are safe I don’t care who rides heat 15 I don’t want anyone injured but if I had the choice of Emil missing for a month or Ellis or the rising star for example then you wouldn’t want your best rider out Ipswich earlier this season had Doyle and Thompson injured and struggled hugely I’m not in the camp that heat 15 has to be your 2 best riders on the night If Belle Vue had Kurtz injured in a heat 15 when the match was already secure then I’m sure Belle Vue fans will wish he hadn’t rode -

No if the meeting is won and bonus point is won them you don’t put your best riders in heat 15 The other week against Belle Vue we used Danny King and was so good seeing him beat Kurtz and Bewley Let’s hope you aren’t way ahead in a meeting and still use Lawson and then he gets injured in a race he doesn’t need to be in -

Another stupid comment why risk your best riders in a meaningless race?
