You know things are bad when there's a rider (Laguta) who's not injured, scheduled to be there & listed in the pre-match teams, but people are wanting confirmation he's going to be there before turning up!

Personally I see no issue with draws & think aren't last heat deciders exciting anyway? But if they want a winner on the night, I'd rather they go whole hog & give 2 points to the superheat winner & 0 to the loser. Just have wins & losses. I don't understand the logic of not wanting draws, but still having draws? Or even 3 points for a win, 0 for a loss. Then 2/1 in the superheat, means 3 points awarded each match, but a proper win is better than a superheat win?

I honestly think Ipswich's I only chance is if Sheffield don't complete their home fixtures. I'd say Ipswich would have a fair chance over Wolves or Leicester, but Belle Vue look likely to finish top. Since I dislike play-offs to decide league titles, I'd be quite delighted if a team that finished 5th (4th at cut-off date) won the league

I did wonder if Starke would pick up his scores after dropping to number 7. But not a great start against Redcar.

I'll stick with my earlier suggestion of signing Clegg. Meaning Clegg, Bowtell or Dan T would be at reserve.

I remember asking this question, think Birmingham went the wrong way with their team changes. Don't know if they even considered Clegg tbh

I'll have to disagree on that, Ipswich still look the weakest of the top 5 teams imo. Can't see them beating Belle Vue over 2 legs if they somehow made the play-offs.

That tactic couldn't have worked. If Harris didn't agree to go to Peterborough, then Leicester couldn't have signed Worrall! Harris must have said yes to the change. If he wanted to stay he'd still be at Leicester. Peterborough can't drop Worrall (for him to become available) without a replacement.

Only because of the bonus point. In normal circumstances 2 points means a win. So I consider a "winning draw" a win and a "losing draw" a draw. They can't make anything simple sadly

They tried limiting the number of transfers & using a transfer window last season. That rule lasted ONE SEASON! Probably because it was poorly written out & "abused" (in the opinion of many)

The way the league points work, I would say Wolves won (2 points), whilst Leicester drew (1 point). Plus Leicester got the bonus point. Simple right?

I'm not bothered about multiple rounds, would much rather have qualifiers if they're looking for extra meetings.

I don't think it matters, they both score well at reserve. One good meeting for Rowe tonight, doesn't remove the multiple good scores Newman produced at 6.

Maybe give Sedgmen praise where it's due?

Not if Poole keep winning away

Easier opposition this time

Or for Gilkes? 3 teams looking for riders on similar averages.

Doesn't matter as the match is now postponed, but that couldn't have been Kent's riding order as Morley has to be at number 1 & Woolley can't ride at reserve. Mind you after Kent raced in the wrong riding order at Leicester (refs fault) perhaps they've found a new rule in the rulebook allowing you to ride in alphabetical order lol!

7 scored from the four r/r rides, don't think you can use that as an excuse. It's possible they would have won, but nothing Peterborough could claim cost them the match imo

Not sure why he's laughing, his team are on a winning streak but still have very little chance at all of the top 4!

I'd say Ace has been inconsistent this season, exactly what you'd expect from a 16 year old in his first Champ / 2nd NL season!

But the change couldn't have happened without Bombers agreement. If he doesn't agree to the swap, Peterborough have no replacement for Worrall & Leicester can't sign Cook for Batchelor.

The way I see it both Bomber & Richie Worrall had to have agreed to the changes. Peterborough can't drop Worrall till they have a replacement lined up, likewise Leicester can't drop Harris till they have a replacement lined up. If Harris doesn't agree to leave - he can't end up at Peterborough because Worrall isn't available - because Harris isn't replacing him - Harris can't get dropped without being willing to swap clubs!

Wolves 48-42 Leicester Edit: this is my prediction lol!

Peterborough 42-48 Ipswich
