May I use this particular forum to wish all fellow Witches Fans and Speedway Fans everywhere A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS from Aljack

 

Cheers Aljer, er, sorry, Aljack - let's bury the hatchet and start 2012 with hopes for great speedway and maybe a little bit of success :drink:

 

Merry Christmas everyone, even the Scots and the Welsh! :lol:

I agree the side looks very useful,however I`m not sure Heeps and Tungate will be quite the match winners you are hoping for.I believe they are both 17,very young at this level.As the season goes on I`m sure they will do ok. Doolan can be a bit hit and miss as can Risager, however Dak,Taylor and Mat are solid signings imo,keep those three fit and you will be there at the sharp end.

 

I've seen Tungate race a couple of times now (he led Chris Holder for almost three laps at Kurri Kurri on Boxing Day) and Holder had a hell of a job passing him, in a race that featured Jason Crump and Dave Watt (he beat Watt).

 

He will be the Witches trump card, without a doubt. His outstanding performances will hide the fact that Heeps will take a little longer to gel than many think IMHO.

A 6 times Aussie dirt bike champion proves the lad is a talented motorcyclist. Beating the likes of Watt, and Ryan Fisher and Ty Proctor from the back shows what the lad is made of. And he'll be a Premier league reserve.

 

The good thing from an Ipswich perspective, is that when he inevitably moves up, Dakota North or Morten Risager will probably drop to reserve. And with Cameron Heeps down there as well the potential is frightening.

 

Somerset set the pace last year with North rattling up cricket scores at reserve but as soon as he moved up, Somerset looked a lot less potent. Ipswich won't have that problem.

 

Kevin Doolan is a vital cog to any potential silverware for me. If his new machines fire and he gets back to being the out and out number one he has in the past, then with the strength of the rest of the side below him, Ipswich will go very very close.

Only if riding at number 1 I would have thought. That's what I was more on about, not his average. If he averages around 9 next season then we could be in for a good year. Will he though? I am not to confident from what I saw this season, but I am sure he will up his average

Regardless of doolans points on track it will be his presence and assistance to north and Poole but especially to heeps and tungate in the pits which will get the team off to a good start.

I'm not sure there is a better captain in the PL.

Of course he was riding at number 1!! Where else would he be riding the season following those averages??

I don't know.. in 2010 he was at 5 and 1 in 2 008 he was at 3 and 1 and his over 10 was including bonus points. From what I can tell it was only.2009 he was at number 1 all season.

He was number 1 for the majority of 2008 as well as 2009 i believe. Think you're reading far too much in the riding positions Baldyman. He's without doubt been one of the best riders in the Premier league in the season's prior to this year. Sometimes in the past an out and out number 1 could ride at 3 or 5 and many clubs used to use their top man in positions other than number 1.
