I'm ok thanks, Maybe you shouldn't be on a public forum if you can't accept reading constructive feedback on topics that differ from your views.

Doesn't matter now but... Musielak had one bad ride but he also didn't lose the H2H battle on the night against Kurtz or Harris. 1-1 with Kurtz and 2-1 up on Harris, Rider of the Night and statistically our best Rider all season both Home and Away who let's not forget beat both Kurtz and Harris in Heat 11 when Belle Vue played a tactical sub against Tobi and Edwards. Everything statistically pointed towards Tobi being the best bet to pick one of them off in Heat 15.

Belle Vue (Home) Rider of the Night benched for Heat 15 despite having the upper hand when it came to the Musielak v Kurtz and Harris scorecard in favour of Lawson who scored most of his points against Kildemand and Zischke. Deep down, I know that if Paul Hurry made that mistake in 2027 that saw Ipswich miss out on the Play-Offs by 1 Point with a strong Team then the criticism would be endless on here but because it's 2026 he gets a free pass due to the strength of the Witches septet. It still needs to be addressed now though rather than being swept under the carpet because the same basic managerial mistakes cannot happen again next season but my feedback comes across in a negative and ungrateful light. (Not the case) I've been the only one to call out the rejected opportunites for improves throughout the season and again it hasn't sat well with others, But the fact of the matter is that Ipswich could've easily competed for the title with a Top 5 of Doyle, Jeppesen, Brennan, King and Musielak (Riding Order).

Being a happy clapper has played a role in British Speedway's decline over the years. In any form of life, You have to be vocally honest in order to generate change, If I post positive comments about this season every day then I'd be straight up lying for likes. My posts have been more negative than positive this season granted but I have praised the Club when credit was due like the Wroclaw agreement for example. I want this season to be a one off and I don't want more of the same in the future therefore I'm left with no choice but to be honest this year and express my concerns on what can be improved even if it comes across as ungrateful and negative. I've stated on numerous occasions that Mayfield were behind the 8 Ball this winter and I'll always stick by that, 2027 Team Building is the be all and end all as to which direction the Club is heading in but we'll just have to wait to see what unfolds on that front. Paul Hurry is indefensible though whether he's on £0 or £1,000 a night, Can't be making basic mangerial mistakes one week that costs the Club League Points and then throwing tantrums at opposing managers a couple of weeks later for getting beat by the better team on the night.

Great to see Anders win, Enjoyable GP. Some Riders are under huge pressure to secure their GP futures as you'd think Bewley, Holder and Lindgren will be three of the Wildcards.

Good GP so far with lots of passing.

Happy to hear the news of Tai's retirement. Tai has given the fans everything and more and he had nothing left to prove, He's more than earned the respect from the fans, fellow riders, owners and promoters. I thank Tai for the memories he's given me as a Speedway fan and I wish Tai and his Family all the very best in life.

Nicholls for Team Manager in 2027 is something that should happen as long as he wants the job. Hurry has to go regardless, Musielak not being picked for Heat 15 may have cost Ipswich 4th Place (Not that it matters this year) but his rant on Stewart Dickson was pathetic imo, Better Team Won and it was that simple. Coleman has put his balls on the line with his choice of words in regards to 2027, He's left himself with no choice but to deliver a GP Rider @ No.1 or a certain Russian who's GP calibre along with six other riders that can compete for the title. If the Team is a let down then he'll have nowhere to hide as he's got everyone's hopes and expectations up, We'll just have to wait until the winter to see what happens on this front though.

Paul Hurry is becoming a joke. Threw away a BP in our Home meeting vs. Belle Vue by not picking Rider of the Night (Musielak) and has now followed that up by blaming Stewart Dickson for track work taking place during a Home defeat to Leicester. I don't think Paul has a clue tbh and a new Team Manager for 2027 should be on Mayfield's list of jobs to do.

Two from Three -> Jenkins, Jeppesen, Juhl Pedersen and Klima.

Thought Leicester would've hit 50 pre-meeting tbh, Good to see Nicholls scoring some big points.

Could easily be Musielak vs. Leicester tomorrow night. Not bothered about the result because it really doesn't matter if we miss out on 4th place tbh, Witches season is all about the KO CUP Final. Lions win at a canter if Douglas rides because Ipswich have only been winning at Home against King's Lynn and Northampton due to King, Lawson and Musielak's scoring power.

Doyle should've been back hence why I was very vocal when he joined Belle Vue. It wasn't even a difficult decision to fit him back in, Easy three picks to release at the time, Lawson (Attitude), Nicholls (Ineffective around Play-Off tracks) and Hellstrom-Bangs (On and Off Track Struggles) Mayfield simply have to get it right in 2027, Paul Hurry's Mate's rates cannot be a factor under any circumstances, Loyal Club Riders like Danny King cannot become a factor either if he ends up on a 7+ GSA.

No point sacking Lawson now because the replacement won't be as good. Won't be back next season for sure as Mayfield won't put up with situations like last night, Possibly more too this than meets the eye imo because it all sounds very shifty imo, Maybe it's fuel testing on something like PhilTheAce said? Next season has to be a drastic change though, Minimum of 4 riders being given the chop from this season potentially 5.

Good too see Tom scoring some points tonight albeit tailed off in the big Heats. Tobi Musielak has filled the void left by Doyley and it's a crime if he's not the first name on the 2027 team sheet.
