I think that's pretty unlikely. If you assume that both Ipswich and Peterborough win all their remaining home meetings then that gives 63 and 51 points respectively. That means Peterborough would need three 4 point away wins from 11 meetings to draw level and that assumes no more away points for Ipswich.

The track does seem to have some grip this season but it doesn't look overly difficult. You only have to look at Greaves last night. A new reserve who hasn't ridden the track before and he seemed to have no problems.

The meeting was ruined by Douglas' nasty looking crash. If he got away with minor concussion then he's very lucky. Hope both he and Stefan are back soon. Sedgeman looks to have worked the track out pretty quickly and Greaves had a positive first meeting but Conor remains a concern.

It was good to watch a more competitive meeting. James Shanes - what a performance. Let's hope he is up for coming in to replace Danyon.

The BBC weather forecast seems to have deteriorated. They are now forecasting heavy rain between 1700 and 2000 rather than the previous light rain.

The light rain has arrived at Witnesham exactly as predicted. Not serious at the moment, but a few hours of this as the forecast predicts would I imagine cause problems. Probably going to be touch and go.

A good win, but a pretty poor meeting. Wilson-Dean looks a good prospect and he was the only Panthers rider to turn up and give it a go. Holder scored a few, but I wouldn't have said he was really winding it on. Hope all of the knocks are not too serious and everyone recovers quickly.

A good performance with everyone contributing, however to be fair the Bandits offered very little. The margin could actually have been bigger had it not been for Nico's blow out and Danyon making a couple of errors whilst in the points. There aren't going to be many visiting riders that beat Danny and Rory at Foxhall this year. The next two meetings away from home will give a good indicator as to how good this team could be.

I think that looks like a decent team in the context of the points limit available, however I have written that more than once over the past few years. If Rory can stay fit then there has to be a 1 - 1/2 point uplift there. Danny should clean up and hopefully the proposed track changes will suit Nico's around the boards style. I am not quite sure about Kyle as he has never quite reached his potential in the second tier, however I am not unduly concerned about the reserves as there will be a number of a similar standard across the teams and I think we have two of the better ones. Time will tell, so roll on March so we can start to see if expectations will be met this season.

Well done Somerset. The better team and well deserved. The Witches never got going. No complaints, if you had offered me the play off semi final in early June, I would have bitten your hand off.

The lead is a bit bigger than hoped for, however if the team maintain the recent level of performance at home it can certainly be turned around. I know Josh scored well in the league meeting but from memory, I don't think he normally does that well at Foxhall. Also, Foxhall is not Rohan's favourite track. Should be a good night.

Good to see MF back and fishing.

User incompetence! I meant to type Jacobs not Morris.

Tremendous performance and a much bigger lead than I thought was possible. A special nod to the referee, Mick Bates. Meeting done and dusted in 75 minutes.

I don't have a vote as I am not a part of the Massif. However, if I did, I would need a lot of persuading to look past Danyon. He came into the side as a novice and for the first few meetings looked like he was going to fall off in every bend but he has learnt quickly and improved exponentially and has looked a very promising prospect. I know that King has been brilliant around Foxhall but away not quite so dominant, for me him and Covatti have delivered what you would expect them to. Sarjeant and Risager and to a degree Morris have probably exceeded my expectations, again primarily at home. As a footnote, you guys have done a great job in getting some atmosphere going at Foxhall. Keep it going.

I assume that r/r for Bjerre would be Cook, Thomsen, Ostergaard and a second string. You could probably hope for 6 or 7 points there and possibly more if you have a bit of luck. Why not go for it? All seems a bit strange.

Unlucky for Sheffield tonight losing Stead early doors, would probably have picked up at least one point otherwise. I guess the result means that a win on Thursday sees us in to the play offs. Couldn't have seen that two months ago.

Correct. The post was made whilst Heeps was still being attended to on the track and by the posters own admission, he was not in attendance.

That finally proves that you cannot be a real speedway fan. Any real fan will always as a first priority be concerned about the wellbeing of an injured rider.

That is a brilliant performance from all 7 under pressure. Well done to all. Are we going to make it?

Good performance from the Witches but against very poor opposition. Great to see Danyon win his first PL race. It's not really possible to describe how bad Workington were. You had to be there to understand how bad they were, often both riders were half a lap adrift.

So, if we win all the home meetings and can pick up a 4 point win at Redcar, would 43 points see us sneak in to the play offs? Sorry, working off an old table so 1 home meeting too many. Still, would 40 be enough?

I assume Baldy will provide the text updates, but happy to step in if you need an updater.

At least one broken rib and off to hospital according to Stephen Foster.

Thanks.
