Witches V Monarchs Koc Semi 1st Leg Oct 4th


Recommended Posts

Gathercole is in for Cook

 

My offer still stands! :lol:

 

Gathercole had 2 meetings this year at Foxhall, scoring 7 from 5 and 6 from 4. Doesn't sound too bad but beat his team mate 7 times, Holder, Reade and Glanz. Has 1 good ride a meeting when he gates and beat Lanham and Heeps and then Tungate and Heeps.

 

*Famous last words......*

Can't help but think that the KO cup semi is there for the taking for the Witches tonight... Surely Wölbert could've guested???

 

Can see a healthy 20pt lead for the BWitches tonight...

Would like to think a half decent lead could be achieved tonight but let's be honest the Witches have been a complete enigma this season ! So much promise but very little actually achieved .

Could be a feisty affair after the recent meetings between the clubs so bring it on !

No, You're safe ............. 7 from 4 this time, with Lanham and Tungate succumbing to his now customary one race win at Foxhall!

The Witches always in control but also just looking like they could throw it all away at any moment!!

 

Got to be happy with a 20 point lead but it could have been 30. It would take some kind of disaster to lose it from here.

 

A number of riders struggled on the apex of turns 1&2 - right about where the raker chooses to scrape great clumps of shale off his boots!!

Poor from the Monarchs tonight..very disappointing.A pretty strange choice of guest to be honest though thanks to Cory for his efforts of course:-)Such a shame Cookie was injured last sunday as he would have made a real difference im sure:-(Will Ipswich be naming Tom Daley in the line up for next weeks return at the Dale by the way? ;-)

I think the riders misheard the team talk - they thought they heard "this is the place to take a dive" rather than "this place is a bit of a dive" :P

A good all-round performance from the Witches apart from Taylor who sadly seems to have lost it at the moment and looks destined to be discarded next season. As has been said the 2nd bend looks to have problems for alot of riders and needs sorting out as riders could get injured and god knows there's been enough of those this season. One very worrying aspect of last nights meeting for CL must be the very poor gate, this was the Witches most important meeting of the season and there looked to be no more than a few hundred there! So CLs talk of going back into the elite league :D in the future better come sooner rather than later otherwise the fan base will have nearly disappeared :mad:

I never said I wouldn't just said it looks like he will get discarded next season as someone has to, to make way for our genuine no1. There's talk of CL also signing Lanham, Matt, Heeps and Nielsen next season and surely Dak and Rohan are certainties so that only leaves club asset Morten and poor Taylor do it not to get discarded?

Gathercole was the 16th rider Monarchs asked. Bach would have been the first and he turned up with Tully in the pits, but Edinburgh had been told he was out of the country.

 

In fact Corey did fine after a bad heat 1. He was pipped in his second race and should have been selected for heat 15.

 

Tabaka's fall in heat 2 was crucial, he could hardly hang on after that. Edinburgh would have been looking for 20+ from their numbers 1 and 6 but only got 7.

 

Wethers and Tully were good but the Ipswich fans who post on here are only interested in their own riders.

 

The tie is far from over.
