From memory Zagar isnt that great at Foxhall?? but then having checked he got 5 and 11 last season so maybe ok, however at his age its a bit like KK probably a large outlay and wont be rewarding points wise
-
I think you maybe right there - and I agree the RS needs changing as more points are needed - as for King id give in a bit longer not hugely convinced of the options available - Batch maybe Tungate - both would divide opinion and when at his best Kings better than both.
-
The one who generally impressed me when he came in was Aaron Summers he scored well - shame he has retired!
-
Riss is a big miss and if he isn't able to come back then some chnages do need to be made, oddly the RS worked last night at BV - the reason he was clearly up against a similar level of rider, but at Foxhall on Thursday Zac cook admittedly not a RS was miles ahead of everyone even half the Witches team! I like both Danny and Barker as I feel they try Barker is largely scoring what you would expect - But Danny has endured a bad last 2 weeks or so - shame as he had started the season well I feel. Last night was evidence that if Doyle and Emil have an off night or dont get say 12+ and able to fully dominate then the Witches struggle.
-
A not unexpected scoreline - its clear that if Riss is not able to return then something does need to be changed in the line up! Genuinely pleased to see some points for Thompson. I actually felt he was fairly on the pace at Foxhall last week - he certainly wasn't miles behind - He needs the boost of some points (and money) and less pressure on him. 3+3 probably his best score. Would have expected a bit more from Doyle - but he can't score 15 every week, King is a worry his gating was bad at Foxhall last week and sounds like its bad last night also. its it a mental thing or bikes?
-
Oh happy days will it be on before or after the wrestling? anyhoo, expect a decent home win - the Witches home defeat last week needs a strong peformance tonight but they don't think will get a win tonight - i reckon up to 40 points mainly from Doyle / Emil - hope I am wrong tho

Ipswich v Wolves June 1st
GeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
typical knee jerk reaction to a disappointing home loss - I am sure no one is more annoyed about last night than him! That said I did expect better of him last night - up until heat 8 all seemed normal - however Worrall, hitherto pointless, popped out beating Danny I was thinking he should be looking to win that race. His final 2 rides were just a disaster tho -

Thats ok objective / honest opinion fine with me - be nice if it got to be 'tested' as it would mean another top rider back in the UK! Lets hope he can line up for Wolves in the future!! -

don't get me wrong he is still very good, but in the Prem I'd put those two ahead even if they do come unstuck occasionally v's Wolves! -

And to be honest Lindgren in my view ain’t as good as either!!! -

GeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He is certainly one of the reasons you won 10+3 from him was a match winning performance - twice he gated with his partner for 5-1s - ciritcal one was heat 14 - he was under a lot of presure until danyon and Ben got in eachothers way. -

GeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
To be fair he did what was expected of him tonight he was trying to make a pass in heat 14 (probably all too late by then) but Danyon got in his way. The weak spots tonight were King - you do need more from your no 3 and sadly Ipswich really need another reserve who will at least get 2-3 points, it could make all the difference. But lets give credit to Wolves - they are certainly a decent team and will be in the playoff final in my view. -

Track was dry as a bone and after heat 8 the Wolves were gating the Witches were not! -

Hope to be present for this one - looking forward to it - going to be tough! Wolves seem on form right now - will need Jason and Emil to be high scoring no real room for them to drop points! -
Peterborough v Leicester 29/05/23
GeneralMelchett replied to scoobydoo's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Thats a broken finger I feel, not going comment on if he could have continued to ride or not - but I have had broken fingers and also a thumb at various times playing rugby / football and I can assure you it is very painful and can restrict hand usage / co-ordination etc -
Quite another friend took 2 of his three sons to Wembley yesterday, I shudder to think how much that all cost!
-
A friend of mine who is a season ticket holdert at Owlerton with his son - they took an extra 3 along last week to the Kings Lynn match as it was only £1 so the offers possibly do work.

Belle Vue -V- Wolves day/night
GeneralMelchett replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well I for one will be gutted - used to enjoy going there in the late 80s we holidayed in Shropshire for 2-3 years and my old man took me to both Wolves and Cradley - losing Cradley was bad and losing Wolves would be just as bad - I remember a Wolves Cradley 45-45 draw in 1989 I think it was - one of the very best meetings I ever saw! -
Belle Vue -V- Wolves day/night
GeneralMelchett replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well I enjoyed that - slightly mystified that the adverts break just shows replays - also some odd gaps in the presentation but otherwise for a neutral it was an enjoyable close meeting - well done both sides I like them showing the odd races from Peterborough as well - and Scott was a decent expert in residence with his analysis. -
Ipswich v Leicester May 25th
GeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Wasn't at this one but will be there 1st June - Good night for Danyon again, seems that meetings are the same as last year - lots of narrow home wins seem to be the order of the day - a different style of team building doesn't appear to have affected that outcome! -
Witches v Lions 25th May
GeneralMelchett replied to Badge's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Apart from the season he had at Peterborough and then a couple at Lakeside (but yes he was a Wolves man through and through really!) Great rider and great guy too - he was very popular down at Arena
