That’s be a good addition to the team as Kyle can easily build on his current rolling average around Scunthorpe, the move to Plymouth definitely looked like it didn’t suit him, so really getting a 9 pointer on an 8 average, plus he’s a proper racer so that adds to the entertainment value

Whilst Denmark, Sweden and Poland have fixed race nights there won’t be one big league in the UK. Next year the Prem will have at least 6 (Birm, BV, KL, Leic, Ips, Shef) possibly 7 with the new track (not blabbing with the location, I’ll let the promotion do that). As for team building average needs a bump up from 39 to either 40.5 or 41 to allow teams to get a couple of big hitters in (existing or new to league) and a decent engine room rather than being full of 4 pointers.

It wasn’t on TV just on the interview that Ryan Guest did with him on centre green

Hopefully Danny King not feeling too banged up this morning as that was awkward hard crash last night

NSS produces one or two races a night, rest is gate and go fast riding not racing

What would Ipswich do if that’s the case? R/R or guest?? Harris already in for Sheffield, Lawson can’t due to 8 day rule, Fricke has broken bone in his hand and due an operation this week (if not had it already), Laguta has broken bone in his arm, that leaves NKI, Basso, Tarasenko, Ben Cook, Sedgmen, Kerr or MPT. With that selection I’d go for Kerr with his Owlerton experience, R/R only hope is that Sayfutdinov and King win their rides and Rew and Riss can pick up a couple between them

Can see Etheridge doing at least one leg if not both next week if Sheffield get through and Vissing still out

Damien Bates on ‘No Brakes No Fear’ podcast said 8 day rule doesn’t apply to guests appearing for number 1 in averages so that’s why Lambert been pencilled in for next week also

Looks like R/R then as what’s left ain’t up to the task

There’s the 8 day guest rule also to take into consideration for a guest not replacing the number one in the averages (Musielak goes to number one from 1/10). Damien Bates has confirmed that Robert Lambert and Richard Lawson are doing the 2nd leg v Wolves this Thursday and that Robert Lambert has agreed to do both legs of the final if Sheffield get there. If no Tai Woffinden next week (imagine that he’s season is over after the crash on Sunday but would live it if he was back) then Sheffield could use Chris Harris for both legs v Ipswich as a guest, as Lawson would not be able to guest in the 2nd leg of the final due to the 8 day rule and Damien’s preference is to have the same guest for both legs As for Vissing, no guest confirmed yet for a Thursday, but imagine after his last guest appearance Jye Etheridge will be in for the two legs of the final if Vissing continues to be out next week Why is nothing every straight forward!!

Proper team player also, out there after Lawson knocked off in Ht15 helping prep bike etc, racer at heart

Solid performance from the Sheffield unlike any of the previous visits this season, Howarth set the tone in heat one and they consolidated from there picking up vital heat advantages throughout the meeting to end up with a deserved victory. Only half a job done though as seen Wolves win on more than one occasion at Owlerton over last few years

Could see someone like Kyle Howarth at Scunny, don’t think the season at Plymouth as really helped him and sure he could add to his average having a home track that gives more opportunities to overtake

Watched him at a Redcar on Friday on a very tricky track (more experienced team mates struggled early doors) and he did roll of every first bend after the start pretty sure he’ll learn with experience that h needs ti get elbows out and get involved with the tight first bends as always behind the eight ball if not, he did have the speed to catch up to Luke Harrison but never threatened to pass

Not good en….. injured his knee in Denmark a couple of weeks ago, been missing Glasgow’s fixtures also

Like Sheffield when they had Ellis, spent big £££ on foreign kit and rock up to UK with a bag of spanners and hope it does the job

Why? He can’t ride Wolves or Owlerton? Even Harris would score more as a guest

Musielak will be at Ipswich in 2024

Don’t worry Fricke isn’t riding for Sheffield v Wolves in the play off’s, so you can have him.

He’s preparing for next season by getting used to the Ipswich folk

51-39 to Ipswich

Vissing had an off in Denmark tonight and pulled out after that ride with leg pain. Looks like a guest needed at reserve for at least the Wolves meeting tomorrow

Belle Vue’s to lose this year now that Sheffield are without their number 1 and Wolves and Leicester are hot and cold. The Aces need this one as with the averages the existing team is on there’ll need to be changes ahead unless the BSPL committee put a decent average limit in place instead of the ridiculous 39 points which limits the higher averages riders

No longer having a stronger rider at reserve (Howarth or Kerr) definitely costing Sheffield, Vissing not up to Premiership standard, looked slow at Owlerton last week and the same tonight. Best Sheffield can hope for now is a couple of decent guests in the KO Cup final legs and hopefully retain the trophy. As for the Play Off semi finals think Wolves will easily win over the two legs
