Ipswich V Scunthorpe 18/7


Recommended Posts

The thing is I don't think Craig Cook will be guesting for any Premier League team now his average is over 10! Lets hope Worrall rides better than he did at Peterborough on Sunday.

Its a new ruthless win at all costs tactic - confuse the opposition so they turn up on the wrong night and then claim a 75-0 walkover!!

Tbf he had a eng failure whilst leading his 2nd ride and there was little or no passing in the early heats, when outside gates didnt stand a chance.

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.

 

Whoops x2!!

 

Personally I couldn't be happier for Ben and think he should do better than Kennett / Cook.

 

Richie Worrall rides as a guest and should be good value, Klindt went VERY well round Foxhall last season and set a new track record so can't be ruled out.

 

Should be a good close meeting.

Klindt for Palm Toft? Scunny suddenly look as good as anything in the League.

 

Kind of proves it's not vital to get your team building spot on during the winter, as long as you can make the right changes in time for the play offs.

 

Think we'll get turned over here especially without Barker and Tungate's fitness issues after that horrific crash at Peterborough.

That's exactly what it's all about, making the right changes. They have changed one rider and now look like champions to me. When we had the chance we done nothing, that was okay while we had cam at reserve, but we all knew that wasn't going to last. Now the rider that should have been changed when we had the chance averaged has dropped even more, making it even harder to make that change if it's needed

I haven't said we are not doing well, so cut the bull, but there is no harm thinking we could be doing even better. Were Scunthorpe happy with what they had? No. They wanted to be better. I follow my team most places to, so am happy following the team as it is, but excuse me for wanting more.

Ye Gods! The team is doing very well, yet still someone moans....

To be fair to Baldyman he is largely positive and when not so it is a constructive and valid point.

He also travels to many of the away meetings so possibly gets a more rounded view than many of us that cant.

Baldy is quite right, yes we're doing well, but that doesn't mean you should sit back and congratulate yourselves. You must always look to improve and be even better than you currently are.

 

I'll be honest, I've been disappointed with Hawkins' performances SO FAR as although he's never pulled up any trees in his career, I can't remember him ever being quite this poor. You also have to question his commitment to the cause as we're led to believe he took some persuading to remain for the season.

 

Just how much hunger and desire does he actually have?

 

That position in the team has been a bit of a disaster really. Firstly Makinen and now Hawkins although to be fair, it was never going to be easy finding quality on a 5 point average.

 

But despite that it's been a super effort so far. I've been most pleased with the young lads Heeps and Ellis. Heeps has come on leaps and bounds from last year and Ellis has shown flashes of brilliance.

 

Hopefully Louis is already on the case to retain Ellis next season as just like Heeps this year, I fully expect Ellis to improve again in his second year.
