D Thompson and Jenkins is a powerful reserve pairing. If and when Thompson hits the big numbers at reserve which I fully expect him to, then Either King or Ellis will replace him at reserve. That potency at reserve coupled with the heatleader trio of Doyle Emil and Brennan is what makes Ipswich far and away the strongest side in the league. Normally when you get such a strong top end you suffer further down but that isn’t the case here. Helped of course by Thompson’s 25% reduction. Let’s be honest here, for anyone else to have a chance this year they’re gonna need Ipswich to run in to injury problems again.

Only way Ippo ain’t winning it is if they get struck by injuries again. That’s the only hope the others have IMO. It’s the best side on paper and comfortably so.

Harris not being at Oxford is the reason Boughen isn’t either despite him originally being in the side.

Bullsh!t. Unfortunately for you we all have eyes. Emil being the racer he is and type of fella he is, went for it but got caught up in that huge pile of dirt that gathered by the fence and it almost stopped him dead in his tracks. It’s dangerous and you know it. Stop trying to deny something which is blatantly obvious to everyone with a pair of eyes. Correct. Again, unfortunately for you we all have ears as well. Chris Holder literally admitted live on TV that there was an issue with the track and had been for some time.

Only picture I can see was them clearing out the drains. Nothing about the banking or “digging up the inside of the track”, nada, zip. More hot air PR from Louis? “Extra banking which will improve the racing immeasurably”, youth event announced with great fanfare and yet no fixture on the fixture list. So far nothing has been delivered. Still time, let’s see.

And paying the same price for the privilege. Couldn’t watch that dross every week there’s very little to get excited about there! There HAS to be envious eyes looking up to the Premiership and seeing fans watching the likes of Sayfutdinov, Doyle, Holders, Woffinden, Fricke, Bewley, Kurtz, whilst their leading lights are Richard Lawson! Used to have Shovlar telling all and sundry when Poole were in the top flight that he’d NEVER support lower league racing because it was crap..

King averaged more this year than both of them whilst toiling most of the year with a broken hand! If he’s gotten that sorted, there is no question he’s the stronger rider out of the three. Hits double figures for fun around Foxhall.

He won’t unless he calms down. The boy is wild and hits the deck far too often. Even before he turned up here he was crashing all over the shop and picking up injuries in Australia. He won’t see the season out unscathed it WILL happen again as sure as night follows day.

Have a look at the thread Lynn v Ipswich I’ve just moved up from May and read the last post I just quoted. Doyle had just had a horror crash, nobody knew the injuries he’d sustained as was was whisked away in an ambulance. Old Daniel Smiths first post? He didn’t give a shiny sh!t about Doyle. All he was interested in was his team now had a golden chance (which they inevitably didn’t take).

Look at this nobhead for a perfect example.

You don’t believe there were fans of other clubs that got a buzz when they got injured because it meant their team had a greater chance? You’re naive in the extreme if you don’t believe that. They’ll be smirking to themselves reading this, they’ll know. They won’t admit it on here of course!

Let’s just wait and see how Oxford shape up before predicting play off places. This Lynn team will be behind the top 3 that’s a given, but I think they’ll finish above Birmingham and Leicester. It’s the Oxford one which will decide who grabs 4th spot I think. Nobody seems too sure how they’re building their side so that’s the interesting one.

Dem were the days!!

The ONLY thing you have to cling to here, is Ipswich’ poor record at your track. You have to think that won’t be the case forever. At some point they’re going to suss it out. Did you not notice the gap at the top of the table between Ipswich and Belle Vue at the time Sayfutdinov crashed at Sheffield? The gap in theory should also be bigger next year. You’ve swapped Ben Cook for his inferior brother, Ipswich have swapped Rew for Tom Brennan!

It’s more the “hope” they get injured rather than thinking they will because they know their club has no chance without it. “Nobody likes to see riders get injured” will be a quick reply on here, lol bullish!t. It’s like the crocodile tears of posters coming on here when Doyle, and then Emil crashed, all sharing their caring sympathies whilst secretly fist pumping behind their keyboards because the team that was running away with it were suddenly out of the picture!! Let’s not pretend otherwise. You also have to laugh at those desperately analysing this Ipswich team with a magnifying glass trying in vain to find a chink somewhere in an obviously ridiculously good side because they want to believe their team will be just as good.
