TTT

I cant see Ipswich beating anyone in the play-offs unless they get top guests in. Last night they made riders who hate Foxhall look like World beaters, Chris Holder's score basically summed up the lack of belief in the Ipswich camp imo. Ipswich need Lindgren and the in form Janowski to guest to stand any chance imo because Nicholls will be on TV duty for the play-offs. In the KOC Final they need Lindgren and Nicholls for the Home leg with Lindgren and Janowski for the away leg at Sheffield.

Ipswich mentally capitulated as soon as they went behind tonight, The belief just went to a point where it was easy points money for the Sheffield riders for the second half of the meeting. Even Howarth filled his boots towards the end.

I thought Ipswich would win due to the reserves pilling in the points against Edwards and Harrison but King's gone into his disapperaing act when the pressure is on and that's final blow.

That's the rumour but Ipswich still need Emil and Ellis back as well though. Nicholls will be on TV duty again and he's been the go to rider this year for guest bookings.

Got to feel for Louis and co. Nothing you can do with half a team that's got it's top 3 riders missing.

Apologies, I didn't know the rules have been changed. I assumed whoever finishes top gets to pick who they want in the SF.

I see it as this. If BV finish top they'll pick Ipswich because they know Ipswich cant ride the NSS to a point where they can build a massive lead against a patched up team that'll run with 2 or 3 guests. If Sheffield finish top they'll pick Leicester because the Holder brothers still won't want to ride Foxhall again and they won't want to take on BV in the SF knowing how hot the BV riders are around the NSS.

Ipswich are in a bit of bother now. King poor again and the Sheffield boys are starting to settle down now.

You cant sink any lower than that result tonight against a depleted KL side. You've just got to applaud Tolley for throwing money down the drain on a consistent basis now.

It is for Ipswich because they need to avoid BV at all costs. They cant ride the NSS for toffee lol.

I would've done the same thing considering top spot is on the line. Like you say it's win at all costs.

True.

Sheffield boys cant ride Ipswich period no matter what the track conditions are like.

The track is shocking.

Easy win for Brum imo with MPT putting in his best performance for a while at Prem level against his former club.

The Lions could hit 60 tonight.

Ipswich will win tonight imo purely due to the reserves massively outscoring Edwards and Harrison. Sheffield need a drastic U-Turn from Chris Holder around Foxhall because he's normally mentally beaten before the meeting even starts around Ipswich. I don't see Ipswich winning another Home meeting after tonight though unless they strike gold with guests to cover for Emil, Doyle and possibly Ellis.

LEICESTER To Win @ 3/1 vs. Ipswich tonight is madness. Leicester are bang in form and Ipswich are missing Emil as well as Doyle tonight.

I wouldn't even book Freddie to guest in the play-offs, I think he's been quite poor for Brum and he's let them down in a lot of crucial races. I'd be booking Harris for Home meetings tbh and then if his current form continues book Janowski for the away meetings.

Are the riders being paid on time? I've never known half of a team to walkout in a single season at any club.

So that's half of a team that's walked out this season. Something must be going on behind the scenes.

First Home defeat of the season coming up due to Emil missing as well as Doyle.

Lions to punch their ticket to the play-offs tonight. Birmingham riders cant ride their own track, They're better away from Perry Barr.

Best wishes to Emil. I hope it's just precautionary and nothing serious.
