Are you from the Steve Shovlar school of trolling 

Your heat leader trio will outscore our heat leaders fairly comfortably 

I would imagine our 2 and 4 will outscore your 2 and 4 but not by many 

Then yes our reserves on paper look stronger but both carrying injuries 

Add in that Doyle and King are injured I will be happy to keep it to 10

Kurtz will get a maximum as his injury has pretty much made him invincible …. Only beat once or twice since it happened so certainly no excuses there 

[Baldyman]

I think on the hot sunny days at the NSS is when the home riders have the better set up,, thus giving them the win,, Witches keeping it reasonably close 50 40 

[Gavan]

Last time heatleaders was Belle Vue 30 and Witches 21 with Lidsey managing 5 only of those I’d expect him to do better 

Second strings Belle Vue 3 and Witches 16….. Blodorn won’t score zero again and King is riding injured 

Reserves was Belle Vue 7 and Witches 13 but this time both Witches reserves are riding injured 

Belle Vue favourites but hopeful we can keep it to 50-40

[TTT]

BV will win the HL battle, Ipswich will win the reserve battle, Result comes down to the 2nd String Battle.

47 - 43 either way.

Must admit that I thought the massive favourites comment was amusing... BV favourites for me.  Doyle and Emil have had the beating of Bewley and Kurtz in previous seasons, but will struggle to get any over them this year at NSS

Heat leaders plus 4  to 5 for fhe Aces...

The rest, plus 10 to 12 for the Witches...

If we ride like we did last week heats 13 and 15 wont save us we need more from Cook and Blodorn and Ipswich are stronger at reserve.

Tall order to repeat the cup success here with the team still undercooked as the manager points out in the preview. Just need to keep ticking.along until the riders get back to full fitness so anything close enough to get the bonus at Foxhall will do. It’s not important to finish top as we all know, but it’s still nice to do so.

I think this will be close, last heat decider is on the cards. Belle Vue have the best top two in the league currently but Ipswich clearly have the strength in depth and their reserves are clearly head and shoulders above Belle Vue's, King and especially Brennan are strong riders but I think Ellis will struggle against Lidsey who has been going well. The issue at the moment is a few Ipswich riders are struggling with injuries or have just returned from injury, for that reason I expect it will be close.

He was sublime today.

Emil seems to be following the same path as last year. Took a while to get going in both Poland and here last year with mechanical issues and the same has happened this year. Something seems to click mid-season though when he’s suddenly riding a rocket ship!

Brennan is also showing good signs of a return to form after suffering a dip. Has had good recent meetings both here and Poland.

Even God hates BV - 😆

Narrow home win for me this one - decided in heat 13 or 15. Last weeks struggle against KL was due to KL being quite a bit better now having found some form and BV not  being on it. 

[Gavan]

If Emil can get 11 and then Tom and Doyle 8 each we have 27…. Danny 5 and Ellis 5 is 37… then hope our reserves can add 8 between them 

May be wrong can’t see Doyle on current form and fitness beating either Bewley or Kurtz 

I can see us beating beaten 9-3 on heats 13 and 15 so we have to make the most of every heat that doesn’t contain Bewley or Kurtz

I agree starting with a heat advantage in heat 2 and 3. Just get ahead early to counter Brady and Dan's heats

which is what lynn did and then we struggled to really do anything till 13 & 15, this time we will find them heats harder to gain 8 points.

 

for both teams i feel whoever makes the better start will win this one.

 

we are a much better starting team with kurtz at 1 than dan,
