Tsunami Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 But you werent saying it BEFORE the season - in fact ,as has been shown before, your pre seasons posts were rather glowing in their praise for the team assembled! As could be seen from the polls taken before the season, Ippy were the popular choice as PL winners, closely followed by the Diamonds and Somerset, and that was based strongly on the strength of your reserves you had signed. The 5 above them could have been strength in depth, big number one or top two big riders, you were stiil strongly fancied. The design of the side did not fail anybody but the form of individual riders did. Of course your start damaged things very early. We were at Redcar on the Thursday night opener for you, and we anxiously awaited the updates of the serious injuries that you were so very unlucky to receive on that night. That night, and those injuries, ruined your start and after that you were rebuilding with unjustified criticism. A lot of sympathy for you after we had a similar year last year, but but for those injuries and a major drop in form of one special rider, Ippy could have walked this league(with us still in second place like ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Taylor Poole and Morten Risager were injured in the first meeting I was advocating that the Witches should sign a genuine no1 - thats ALL season mate!!!

Who?? Dont cop out and say thats not your job. Perhaps it was considered and there just wasnt anyone suitable. As a result you go with the best option available and take your chances. All speculation of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Butting in on this one , at that time Charlie Gjedda was available ! Although the " Its not my job " would be a very correct and valid comment to make . Rather alot for the management to consider for next year as at the end of the day it is their job !

Agreed he was but the lower end option needed if he joined wasnt which in my opinion would have left us weaker than the chosen route.Aljack would then have been bemoaning the willful waste of points at the top end leaving us exposed at reserve!

Bash Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 He probably would be moaning even more because it probably would have been Jerran Hart as the other rider!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Super Blue a sensible posting from a Witches fan at last well done that man 10/10 Well Ive been proved perfectly correct yet again that the Witches with no top end strength will not make the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice KKS is fishing on Ipswich threads, why don't you have a chat. What a meeting of (miniscule) minds that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich Jules Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) What do you mean like Chris Louis did when he admitted that the team without a genuine no1 this season was not good enough :rofl: Just think - if you had actually had the balls to go and speak to Chris at a meeting, as you were advised to do many many times, he might of told you that himself and in person - imagine how well respected you'd be then? You, the great Aljack, the "realist" who knows the real deal - I reckon we would of carried you around Foxhall on our shoulders as if it was the coming of the new messiah! But you didn't bother to go and speak to Chris did you? Too much of a coward. Maybe if you had of mentioned it to him he could of seen the error of his ways and conjoured up a heatleader and somehow managed to sneak him in to the team despite how it would put us over the limit. Oh and we wouldn't of been able to celebrate your greatness as you clearly don't go to Foxhall to watch speedway and are almost certainly not a Witches fan. If I didn't know better I'd say you were another alter ego of KKS / THJRacing / Kris but even he has more speedway sense than you, remember last season when you wanted Heeps brought in to the team? Can you remember why that didn't happen? I expect we all can!! Edited September 17, 2012 by Ipswich Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
