Really looking forward to tonight should be some good racing particularly between Barker and Doyle. Hope to see both Risager and Heeps continue their excellent form also. Early days but the team has been the most entertaining we've had in the PL so far in my opinion.

Can't see Doyle beating Barker 3 times. Possible obviously, but highly unlikely. Witches by 10 for me

I know you were When you have riders so young you always look for gradual improvement in them. So far this season, Heeps has shown definite improvement from last season which is encouraging.

Fair point about the spill at Poole. Maybe I'm expecting too much from Rohan but personally bar possibly Heeps and Ellis, Tungate has the most potential and I'm waiting for him to really kick on. He's shown he's a talent and what he's capable of already so I'll always be disappointed with a 4 point return from him. Sorry.

He's having one of his good confidence spells Been riding well here and in Denmark too. Long may it continue.

Great point in the end and particularly well done to Cameron and Morten. Morten been in great form lately well done lad. 2 for Lanham?? He's had a couple of stinkers since his spill in the Star of Anglia is he still suffering any affects from that? Disappointing from Rohan too. He scores more for Poole in the EL!

Looks like a wet day in store today unfortunately.

Impossible to predict this Witches team this year. We've been both very good and bloody awful at times so far this season so the result here is anyone's guess!

obviously a sarcastic reply. SCB you've admitted yourself Risager is a confidence rider, is it so out of the ordinary that a promoter bigs up a confidence rider in the press? Pretty smart if you ask me.

He fools some with the nice and nasty routine, but not all of us!

Not today. I'm sitting in the golf pub garden with an ice cold beer a couple of hundred yards away and it's boiling :-P

Good point hadn't thought of that. Certainly used to be the case but maybe things have changed.

Line ups and preview here http://www.ipswichwitches.co/index.php/news-centre/637-lion-taming-required-on-monday Any Leicester fans on here planning on making the trip? Normally a very good away turnout from the Lions.

Did Andy McCluskey do his crazy dance routine to Maid Of Orleans? Mad as a box of frogs that fella but very entertaining

I agree his gating looked a little like Heeps' from last year. But once he got going he looked fast and not afraid to get stuck in. I think his gating would improve with regular PL racing when he gained more race sharpness.

He was competitive Dave. Considering it was the first time he clapped eyes on the place let alone ridden it, and was up against a tough PL field, I thought the lad looked a promising talent to be fair.

Well the answer is we don't know but we'll have a better idea tomorrow night. The only way to know if he can do a job now is to throw him in to a PL strength field and see if he sinks or swims. Louis clearly wants a close look at him. He was actually named by Plymouth pre-season at their fans forum but for whatever reason (I assume work permit?) that move was never rubber stamped and they looked elsewhere. Looking at the riders in the line up, it might be a struggle to see where a point will come from as it looks tough, but maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised!

I wouldn't bother. He/She will only revel in getting another bite.

I'm not sure the extent of the defeat will happen again. I'm not saying it won't as people would delight in pulling this post back up in the future, but I'd be very surprised if last night wasn't our biggest defeat of the season. This Ipswich team really isn't that bad at all and I'm still more than confident it's good enough for a play off place. The Likes of Ellis will get better as the season goes on and a fit Heeps will help too.

Louis clearly not happy with the "effort" of the riders last night. Say's they let both the team sponsors and the fans down and won't let it happen again. http://www.ipswichwitches.co/index.php/news-centre/631-witches-crash-out-of-koc

Can't argue with that Jenga at all. Woeful from Ipswich.

4 and 5 chipped in with points that gave us a draw at Scunthorpe. Just have to put today down as a very bad day at the office and move on.

Should be fun then I'll await the comments with interest
