TTT

Best wishes to Jack on a speedy recovery.

Don't think it was ambition in all fairness. Fricke didn't have anywhere else to go at the time because Ipswich and Northampton left it far too late. Not trolling here but maybe Max is trying to get his average down this season so he doesn't end up at Lynn again?

I wouldn't have said anything if opportunites for improvements didn't arise this season.

I'm just very concerned with what I've seen so far. I gave Mayfield the benefit of the doubt pre-season because what they were saying was true, However I just can't understand how they've failed to act when it comes to Jonas Jeppesen and Jason Doyle. They've had two opportunites to show ambition and they've failed to act which makes me question Mayfield's vision for the club. Is this just a rescue job to save the PREMIERSHIP from total collapse to a point where Ipswich as a Club have to suffer the consequences of that in regards to budget 1-7's who just compete for the sake of competing? So far, For all of Mayfield's talk, All I've seen from them is watching Tom Brennan's confidence get shattered to pieces whilst serving up a Hellstrom-Bangs / Ed Kennett fiasco where they stated that Hellstrom-Bangs would be sacked if Kennett done a half decent job only to sack Kennett before a wheel was turned due to commitment issues. I've done this song and dance before where I bought into talk rather than actions (Michael Tomalin) and so far Mayfield remind me of him where they said all of the right things but eventually nothing came of it.

On course to become the new King's Lynn unfortunately.

Mayfield don't have an excuse then imo, Started the season poorly but he's regained his confidence since signing for Berwick.

Once a Lion, Always a Lion - Max Fricke

Does Jordan Jenkins fit?

Re-Signing Doyle was the opportunity which Mayfield wavered that would've seen Tom @ No.3. I hope Tom can regain some confidence as it's not nice seeing him struggle like this when he's made good progress year-on-year.

I actually feel for Tom Brennan at this point, Mayfield are to blame for damaging his confidence by allowing this to continue every week when they knew full well that Doyley wanted to return to British Speedway. Tom has also lost his starting place at Bydgoszcz as well so it's all going wrong for him this season.

Ipswich caught King's Lynn cold at the start of the season, Now the tables have turned. Will be much closer this time and King's Lynn could even win imo, 47-43 either way.

That's why I believe the time is right to call Mayfield out now. I can fully understand the pre-season Team Building situation where they were stuck behind the 8 ball but they've literally got nowhere to hide now when they've had two golden opportunities to strengthen the side. Since Day 1, Mayfield have talked a very good game but they haven't backed any of that up with actions imo.

I think he will tbh Gavan but Doyley's NSS average will be a lot lower than Bewley's imo.

I understand what you're saying but Speedway just for the sake of it isn't going to wash in the long run imo.

Just throwing something together within the 37.00 limit to prove how easy it was for Mayfield to fit Doyley back in whilst protecting Tom Brennan who's clearly struggling @ No.1. 1. J. Doyle 7.86 2. Hellstrom-Bangs 4.50 3. T. Brennan 7.24 4. D. King 6.67 5. T. Musielak 6.44 6. 4.29 (Few options but Klima is the pick of the bunch) 7. J. Edwards (RS)
