dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 He wont, and Thursday will be a tough one. Witches by 8.......... I agree - if there is a change Ben wont be it.Also agree that this will be really tough. Auty,Howe,Jorgensen,Klindt plus r/r(presumably) is very solid. Will be tight and I would be very happy with an 8 point win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Surely 2 changes would be made, Barker and king? Hope Barker doesn't get a call though from a selfish Ipswich supporter point of view. We are gonna find this very hard as it is. Could be another home loss here unless all our riders are bang on form. Got to give it to Scunthorpe though, they normally seem to have a very strong team and always make changes to improve their chances of silverware. Personally I would now make them favourites for the title after the change they have just made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Craig Cook!! Edinburgh at Redcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Oh well. No Barker on Thursday it is then, good luck to him, but I dare say he will be dropped again for next year's world cup. So guests? Who is there? Josh G? Pretty limited on anyone that could score a few points. Worrall? Anyone but that useless donkey Doolan. I think a loss is on the cards now, shame after doing so well away lately.

spanner47 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Can we call it off due to international call ups, they do it in football, but that's a proper sport. But very unfair on the witches, there's only 2 riders that can possibly replace Ben, Doyle and Cook. With those two out of the equation, we'll struggle.

You wont lost, Scunthorpe are without Birks meaning Jorgensen and the reserves have extra rides, The way Birks has been riding this year they wont score the points Birks would have.

Baldyman Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Jorgensen has normally been very good at Ipswich, so night not be as bad as you think, and Ashley may not have been so good, you can never tell, but only surmise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I would go for someone like Stuart Robson or Richard Lawson who had a good meeting in the test match at Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 On any other night........it would have to be either Cook or Doyle.........Robbo probably next best option? This is going to be a tight one, if we get all the points, it will be a good nights work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choice of guest will be pivotal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 A little surprised to see Ben selected for the WC - not because his form doesnt warrant it but because I didnt think they would ditch Cook. It makes this one too close to call - any win will do now. Of course I still think we will win but now only just!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Think I'd prefer R/R to be honest. Lanham seems to have hit a bit of form and he, Risager, Tungate and Heeps are all capable of winning races at Foxhall. I personally think the points gathered by those lads would be on a par with any guest other than Cook or Doyle. Not a fan of guests anyway I'd rather use our own riders so R/R for me.

Super Blue Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 So is Tungate definitely fit to ride then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Not a bad shout there Mr sin, but if one is having a bad day or not fit enough then then one of our reserves will be pretty busy, as for the other, not sure. Maybe this Thursday could be his first win in heat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazski Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ritchie Worrell will guest for Ben Barker on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoz88 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Richie Worrall confirmed as guest for Ben, see website for details. http://www.ipswichwitches.co/ The result i think will depend on Rohan, if he's rested then witches by 10-12, if he still feeling second hand then witches by 4-6, but has been announced as riding.

spanner47 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Normally I'd prefer to go with our own riders, but as there's a doubt over Rohans fitness, it makes perfect sense to book a decent guest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
