Ipswich Vs Somerset Thursday 16th May 7.30pm Pl

This looks like a huge win for us, but you just never know, can Ben take any points off Doyle or could he get a 21 point haul

Perhaps Morten can......he's the form kiddy!!! That would shut Aljerky up.....or whatever he calls himself these days. R/R might make them a bit weaker, should be taking all three points here.

Im sure Somerset will feel they didnt do themselves justice on their last visit - I would like to think it was because the Witches didnt let them.

 

More of the same will represent an excellent start yo the League campaign.

 

Witches by 10 for me.

Somerset without Nick Morris look significantly weakened although all the riders including the fantastic Jason Doyle can take his rides. So the Witches with Morten flying at the minute, look much too strong for them and should win comfortably although Jason might score 21 points. I wonder what Ben will turn up, he looked very poor in last nights British Championship and simply does not look like the rider he was for Plymouth last season at all. Also wonder if cl has any rider lined up to take Ritchies place because he is adamant he is only here for the short term?

Well , I heard Makinen was in the pits at Leicester helping out ! It does make you wonder if he's going to return ?

He was helping Adam and Matt Read after their overnight drive from Lonigo. Nice guy, he didn't have to .

Yes he did not have to help thats true and he is a nice guy we all know that but as a rider he do not have the quality thats needed that has been very clear from what we have seen at foxhall. So personally I hope cl goes for a new rider perhaps from abroad thats not on any retained list over here like Jari who is and who knows he could be cls next asset for the Witches.

Having printed out my score sheet for this one and looked through the various match ups there could be some decent racing .

 

You do however have to believe Doyle will get the vast majority of his points if not all from his 6 rides but its difficult to see where too many more are going to come from .

 

After all , in the League cup meeting the other 5 Somerset riders only accrued 17 pts between them !

 

The missing Morris can only be a big loss for them .

 

I'm hoping/expecting a reasonably comfortable home win with everyone staying safe but you can be sure the Rebels will be hell bent on making up for their last performance at Foxhall !

Don't wish to sound like the Aljack/Jackal of Somerset, but I'm not convinced on the make-up of our team this year - far too top heavy and thus too weak at reserve - contrary to all the 'experts' in the Star and many on here. Having to use r/r for Morris makes us particularly vulnerable.

I fear a bit of a pasting tonight, though I hope I'm wrong!

If it's hit I think it will be much closer than 14 but I don't know who would be ideal for the Rebels if they needed more than a 3-3 in heat 15, I am expecting another max from Doyle.

Can't see Doyle beating Barker 3 times. Possible obviously, but highly unlikely. Witches by 10 for me
