Only injuries have halted kyles progress this season, cannot fault his attitude and effort.

I personally thing the track gets a bad rep the for racing it produces, ht 13&15 this year have regularly been excellent and have highlighted how good the racing can be, while also highlighting the gulf in class between the top and bottom riders in this league now. ht 13&15 generally have four good riders in them all of which could win it hence the racing is good! How many heats can you actually say that looking up and down a championship programme these days!? Week in week out the witches can only race what's in front of them and when the likes of ostergaard for example turn up and ride like he did tonight it isnt gonna be close racing and sadly there's just too much of that these days! Hope Cameron is ok, went in pretty damn hard! Would be a shame for him having been in such good form! Although he did seem to lose his head both races where he fell while trying a bit too hard unecesarily...a trait that this year seemed to be behind him...a big part of his large improvement imo

For me there has to be two leagues in uk not three, with doubling up for only British riders. With the current league system as it is the careers of young British riders are being ruined! The likes of Stefan Nielsen, joe Jacobs etc. Are too good for the national league, its of no benefit for them in terms of career progress and it's not financially viable for them either. If there was two leagues with doubling up restriction it would help ensure that these riders have jobs and are able to have a platform to aid the progression of those that are getting too good for what is currently the national league. There's not enough riders to sustain 3 leagues and protect the British lads but there is enough to sustain 2!

NBJ goes great at Foxhall, would've made us a hell of a lot stronger...

Shame nico won't fit, personally I think Gino would be worth a punt, can't see him being worse than Justin points and will at least give it 100%

Riding with heeps is showing up sedgemens efforts up all the more tho, he gives it everything every race for whatever position! If only we had nico back!!!

Absolutely I wouldn't care if he got 3 points but was busting a gut trying, but he just doesn't look bothered! May be down to confidence but to be honest just looks like he ain't bothered! Really can't see him being a trump card. Nic porsing Nic busk jacobsen anyone.......? Also definitely agree loves greaves effort as well as Connor! He's really turned a corner confidence wise and has been paid for at least 6 in 5 out of last 6 meetings, can't ask more than that!

Oh yes plenty of those around! I just say it as I see it 🤙🏻

I always have and will support the witches to the bitter end of every season but at the end of the day the teams that win silverware are the ones that have riders that turn up in the big moments, sedgemen for whatever reason has not looked to be that rider the whole time he's had witches racesuit imo. And tonight in ht6 he made the best start was out in front with heeps saw the two Newcastle riders had cut back and standing on the second bend you could literally see him shut off and was last by the 3rd bend. Would rather see manzares in his place for the rest of the season, someone who's going to at least give it 100%

We will make the playoffs but if we're going to do anything when we get there sedgemen has got to go!

Would like to think we can get at least a point in this one! We ran them close last time and are stronger going there this time with a firing Newman etc, if Connor rides like he did last time he'll get points! Witches to take a point but hopeful of taking a narrow win!

What a shocking attempt to prepare a good track for the first televised meeting.... riders should not be bounced into corners it's damn dangerous!

Ht 13 & 15 shows to me that we would be better entertained in the top league at Ipswich, Foxhall seems to be tricky technical track these days that the young lads coming up struggle on, 3 riders of a good level going at it showed how good the racing can be! Always enjoy watching Craig come and battle it out at Foxhall shame Danny couldn't sit still in ht13 would've been an even better race! Rooboy oozing class and Kyle looking 100% fit and back to his best! Sedgemen I find frustrating though seems a bit of a gating tart!

How about - Sedgemen - 7.60 Newman - 6.31 out 13.91 Scott Nicholls - 9.23 Emil grondal- 4.39 13.62 We'd have 3 proper heat leaders then and in Cameron a very capable no.4! Grondal will score 3/4/5 like Newman has been but scott will way outscore sedge home and away! 3 riders fighting for the no.1 jacket by the end of the season too! If Scott has too many continental commitments then maybe kennett? Not as favourable choice for me but he does ride Ipswich well! I may be being a little harsh wanting to drop these guys but the way I see it is every year we keep faith with riders and the teams that make the tough calls win silverware!

As a season ticket holder I'm getting pretty bored with speedway at Foxhall already this season in a year that promised so much with the winter track work and initial team that sadly never got a chance to get going! Fed up of watching a very mediocre Justin sedgemen not be at all bothered already...... don't pay money to watch riders give what seemingly was little to no effort whatsoever...... gave up on the first corner in first race (citing bike trouble, which if legitimate fair enough although why come to the tapes on a bike that can't do a lap at the start of a meeting....very professional!).... a bikes length behind worrall coming out of the second bend on the first lap and by the third bend he's shut off and settled for second coasting round for the 3-3.......same in the next race and then credit to him he won a reserves race 👏🏻 Never seen nico covatti give up on a single point! Then there's the track work undertaken over the winter....what's the point in spending the money and time to undertake changes to improve the racing if a consistent reliable racing surface, with more than one line cannot be produced

I think we should have enough to stop Newcastle taking a point away with them but lambert and worrall will keep it close enough for it to not be all plain sailing as it has been in some recent meetings! Agree the riding order should be changed, Kyle seems to still be lacking a bit coming back from injury so surely a move to 2 would help him, and heeps in great form barring the last couple where he's been carrying a leg injury! Sedgmen/heeps at 3/4 would be a good pairing st home too, sedge likes inside-mid track and heeps chases the dirt perfect team riding!

Cook 13 Campton 3 Proctor 7 Sarj 4 Jorgensen 6 Williamson 8 Shuttleworth 2 King 12 Heeps 8 Sedge 7 Newman 6 Rory 10 Mountain 1 Greaves 3 43-47 come on the witches lets keep this away form going!!!

Having watched heeps at Ipswich every week this season he's working really very hard on and off the track and getting the results! There's bags of talent in there, now the work ethic seems to have vastly improved he's starting to show what he's capable of, being an Ipswich regular I've also had the opportunity over the past few years to see the best and worst of tungate....on his current inconsistent poor form and heeps great form I know who I'd prefer in my team! I think the Somerset track will suit him well and with a little guidance from the home boys to get dialled in, looking across at the others reserves in the league I can't see him fearing anyone as should score very well alongside jake Allen and it'll certainly help us at Ipswich him being on the bike more! Lawson is a better rider than all three outgoing and Kerr is in good form, he scored well riding at no.3 for Poole for a month! Another good attribute the two of them bring is they're both sharp gaters! Not sure you're all of a sudden a league winning team but on current form certainly a much stronger outfit imo!

danny 12 heeps 7 sedge 10 kyle 6 rory 11 connor 2 nathan 5 josh g 10 kurtz 3 r/r bates 7 howarth 12 branford 6 shuttle worth 1 53-39 i personally think r/r for lasse will weaken the tigers as he's very good at foxhall and kurtz, bates and branford taking his rides at 3 will leave them a bit more vulnerable as would putting r/r to 2 and having kurtz at 3 who has never seemed to like foxhall a great deal as a visiting rider, on current form think we could see howarth beat our big guns a couple of times! a rider I've always liked so glad to see him kicking on this year!

Was stood on the exit of second bend so it all happened right in front of us, agree no reason to stop it as Lewis regained control and was subsequently at the back despite having impeded Danny, Lewis did look certain to be going in the fence, and as a result the red lights seemed to be put even before he'd regained control so as much as anything needs to be a little less hasty! It was indeed shaping up to be a good race! Ref had obviously got bored of the restarts by heat 15 and felt bad for excluding Lewis in the aforementioned heat so allowed him a blatant jump at the tapes to balance tho 😝

Stefan locked up the bike on outside of bend in first corner and sedgmen had nowhere to gi

Think they definitely have the edge in the reserve department and lewi Kerr will have a point to prove after us dropping him last year and now being released by Poole for kyles return!! However so long as our top 5 score solidly and the reserves pick a point or two can't see past a home win, gonna go with 50-40 Scunthorpes reserves keeping the scores closer than might be expected

realistically were there any better alternatives? on the few times I've seen him ride theres appeared to be some potential, hopefully the likes of rory can take him under his wing and get the best out of him at this level! we all knew getting a replacement of danyon's level around foxhall on 2 point average was going to be difficult with no real options available, but welcome to the witches nathan!

Don't necessarily think either one is better than the other, both have different styles and attributes but generally even out about the same level of scoring in a heat leader position, from my memory Justin is a far superior trapper to nico which is always valuable! Well done to Chris and Ritchie who have acted swiftly and positively to go and get who was realistically the best option available within the average constraints! In the short term danyon is going to be the much harder rider to replace as he's worth so much more to us than his average! But a career is a marathon not a sprint and he's gonna be a witches star in the future!!

porsing sarjeant combination would be good if it fit?
