Super Blue Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Does anyone know how Ben is after his big off at Brum last night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Cant wait for the meeting tonight, in particular to see young Maassen having a go. He has Robbie Kessler in his corner so who better to advise him on the track and setups. I reckon it could take him a heat or two to get tuned in but ive got a good feeling about him and i reckon he could score well for us. Reminds me a bit of when we introduced Skidmore, nobody knew what to expect at all and he popped up with some great points. Cant wait,!

Baldyman Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 According to twitter, Doyle replaces Ben tonight. It also said he was having scans, but I couldn't see anywhere where it mentioned the outcome of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes Doyle guests for Barker so we can't complain on the choice of guest. We should be getting 3 points here with all due respect to Sheffield and I'll be disappointed if we don't get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 This ain't as easy a 3 points as you would expect, because of the way the track has to be ridden. If this was any other track I would say easy 4 points, but it's not on another track. Doyle is the perfect guest and will get14 or 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Unless Andre finds the right set up and scores heavily, I think we will be chasing Ipswich from start to finish. I hope new boy proves me wrong, but not expecting him to score - first match against tough opposition, at the business end of the season when everybody else is up to speed .

iris123 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 As far as i know Maaßen is under the wing of Robert Lambert and his family through their friendship formed in Germany,but all the better if Kessler is helping out as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Robert Lambert is another rider I wouldn't mind seeing at Sheffield next season :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Robert Lambert is another rider I wouldn't mind seeing at Sheffield next season :-) Along with the fans of about 20 clubs Id guess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 A very tough start for the new lad. As long as he gives it a go that will do. We should not expect to much, Keep safe everybody. The great news today is that Ricky is responding to people and breathing on is own. Once a Tiger always a Tiger go Ricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting to see if I need an operation wishing Ipswich a good meeting Bad luck for Ben,looks like Ipswich will need guests for the forseeable future,the one good thing there is thanks to Barkers average they should have a very healthy choice of guests.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 All the best to Ben for a full and speedy recovery. A big blow to our end of season hopes. Its a measure of how good our season has been that an away draw at a less than favoured track seems something of a disappointment tonight. Still 2 more points though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's a good 2 points, but like I said earlier, on any other track I think we would have got 4 with ease. Ipswich history at that track is poor though, so a big smile with 2 more points on our travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sorry to hear about Ben , let's hope for a speedy recovery ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 What's Doyley doing, earning an extra point for the Witches? Surely he could have finished second in ht15 and improved the Rebels chances of finishing top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
