Ipswich Witches 2027

Using the final Green Sheets - Issue 23, 6th October, I make the averages as follows:

Bewley (including reduction) - 8.56
King (including reduction) - 7.17
Doyle - 8.62
Cairns - 3.0
Nilsson 4.5

That totals 31.85. 

If it’s 37, then that leaves 5.15 for the last rider.

Also, let’s not forget that Coleman in his interview with Radio Suffolk the other day stated that the 2027 number is 40!
 

He did, but I think he must have counted a rising star as a 3 pointer because I’ve since had it confirmed to me that it’s 37 plus a rising star.

So how come Nilsson would be a 4.50 rider then? 
 

The rumoured Ipswich team top 5 is 

Upskill Teams

 

Doyle,Bewley,King,Nilsson and Kemp,I’m surprised at Kemp because when I spoke with Richard Coleman he wasn’t that keen on Kemp due to him giving up a lot of the time.

Kemp isn't great but he's a more reliable option then others on the table.

I personally look at it this way....

 

ERIK RISS

Postive

Good rider if he's fit (Big If) and he's been part of the Landshut setup with Nilsson so it's a good combination for Team spirit.

Negative

The illness keeps coming back so if it's him then you're playing poker because if the illness returns after others have improved GSA's then it could be a case of scrambling around for a rider on a 3 something to replace him.

 

4.50 YOUNGSTER

Positive

If they click, Then they really click to a point where you end up with a gem who makes a mockery of an assessed average.

Negative

They're BOOM or BUST merchants as we saw this year with Hellstrom-Bangs and if another one falls into the BUST category then it's a scramble for a replacement because with the RS not likely to score many points (If any) then it's too risky to keep the faith by running a Team with two riders not scoring points.

 

DREW KEMP

Positive

Can ride Ipswich and Leicester very well and has a good few years worth of PREM experience.

Negative

Can be frustrating and his head does go at times.

I’d argue drew kemp has had one fantastic meeting at foxhall and rest were poor.  Be interesting to see his foxhall average with and without that meeting included

I’ve always liked Riss & was happy when he joined us a few years too late mind. However with his illness you have to steer clear.

Kemp the talent is certainly there, Louis didn’t persist with him due to attitude & he hasn’t really done anything to address that. Maybe & it’s a big maybe being in a team alongside Doyle possibly Bewley & having Coleman as a boss might change that.

Overall I think we’d be better off with a youngster from over seas or Rushen.

Kemp needs managing. If that can be done then Ipswich will have a great rider.
