Feel you make a fair and good point here - Lets hope Tai is back for next season as he has himself suggested.

appreciate that these averages above are form - but DK now in the top 10 for PL according to the Stars averages for 23 - 7.96 CMA or 7.67 with No BP's placing him above Harris, Douglas Lidsey, Wright and others! and only marginally below Bewley!!

If you check the heart rates on the WC meeting before the race when was your HR last at 170bpm!!

There is no substiture for match fitness and sharpness in any sport! He is lean tho for sure!

If the Witches have any designs on the playoffs and keep Leicester and Sheffield on their toes a decent win needed here tonight!

This is exactly what he meant!

I had you down as securing your playoff spot away at Peterborough - until the changes last night I would have felt a full strength Sheffield had a very good chance to win tonight’s meeting but now I do feel yes you will win it fairly comfortably. Monday was surprise but from that you have tough away matches to come so felt that whilst your spot was very likely until you get one more win it wasn’t impossible for Ipswich to catch you based on they have two matches v KL and one v Peterborough both from the Buster stable!!! Your performance at Owlerton was really impressive last month or whenever it was but what surprised me was just how bad the blip was on Monday - however you’ll be in the mix for sure for the playoffs now!

well you know that massive home loss on Monday, Leicester looked a pale shadow of the side i saw at Owlerton about 1 month ago. the fact one of your riders is likely now out for the season with a ban and the fact the club have just announced its up for sale - (which is a great shame I hope thats sorted) - Id say its not been the best couple of weeks!

agreed but a full strength Sheffield might well have won this given how Leicester rode the other night - so it would still have made it more open than it, will in all likelihood, be come 10pm tomorrow assuming this isnt rained off

This surely makes a home win much more likely - and therefore would mean Leicester (who are wobbling right now) and Sheffield will both make the playoffs.

upped his average and does his best in the tricky third heatleader position particularly hard given the two superstar names ahead of him - when behind is always trying - i never have any issue with him!

People need their scapegoats when things dont go to expectation or plan - for me King has on one or two occasions not ridden to his average / expectation but every rider does that - that's why they have an average over the season!

yep arms folded - defensive posture - he just isn't one for being on camera - given the twaddle posted on here about him i can well understand it.

He has certainly shut a few people up with his performances of late! Lets hope he continues - but we have to remember the early days of any promising riders career are never a linear thing form will go up and down - as long as the overall trajectory is up than all is good!

This needs correcting - except for those on in the internet who moaned and whined about the same mistake being made twice!

Thank heck you posted that!!

on current form at Owlerton probably weaken IMO - away form home maybe stronger! I remember seeing Tais debut at Owlerton 0,0,0 - from little acorns! - am tempted to go on Thursday now - lets hope the weather holds!

Both R/S riders did well last night - to be fair to Kemp he got 7 - it's just Dan eclipsed him with 9+4

Thursday V Sheffield is a MUST win for you - otherwise you may need to start looking over your shoulder!

The Witches seemed a bit reinvigorated tonight and it was good to see pretty solid throughput particularly away from home - team actually doing what was expected maybe earlier - is it too late for the playoffs - maybe - matches against Kings Lynn to come so need to win both! did expect more from the Lions - Fricke was down on what he normally might be expected to get - oddly the Lions looked a shadow of the side i saw dominate the meeting at Owlerton the other week! still think you are playoffs bound however

You have to wonder ‘what if’ Dan had been picked instead of Joe from the start of the season - nevermind take a bow that young fella showing the Lions what they are missing!! great performance from the Witches and a decent meeting as well unless maybe you are a Lions fan well done Danny too!

Both our early heat wins were off gate 1 - it was a huge advantage in the first heats!

Riss been going better of late so let’s hope he can and will do better should it be on tomorrow - as for Batch well he could be a matchwinner for the Lions he might not - either way people will have their say! early season witches won and I would have called the same - now I think close home win say 46-50 to 44-40. Emil and Doyley should be good to watch and Doyle seems to have ironed out some of his bike troubles which can only be good news for the Witches

Its insanity to suggest they should step down! Brennan at what 22 is the future of these events why would you not get him ready - I like Charles Wright he’s been a good pro over the years not convinced he’d have done any better! no doubt had they gone with Wright and we hadn’t won then someone would have piped up with if you should have taken Brennan!!

Spot on - although a future world champ would learn from this and use it to their advantage for the future! Out of early disappointment comes success often!
