Ipswich 2014

First and foremost Baldy, you HAVE to win your home meetings, that's vitally important and for me Risager is a slightly stronger rider around Foxhall.

 

As I said, they're both pretty much on a par with each other, and Lanham has also had his fair share of away stinkers.

I agree there us little on track to differentiate the 2 - perhaps Morten a bit more hot and cold.

 

But I would say the biggest bone of contention is that it appears Morten upset the applecart with his attitude and that required a team order change that did us no favours at the sharp end of the season.

 

If that issue is sorted then all well and good.

 

I think we will be up there again challenging for a play off spot. Still see Worky as favourites so far.

you do have to win at home and as you can see I put we will go unbeaten at home, that's why I would prefer Leigh for away meetings to get some extra points. We obviously both have different opinions which is good. Looking forward to next season, bring it on.

So who has ideas on team riding order? Can we put morten back to 3 or 4 and put Tungate at 5

Put Morten at 5 again, then with the reserves beating him in 3 races, and a tough time in 13 he will soon be down to reserve and a trump card! ;)

 

Worrall

Manzares

Tungate

Heeps

Risager

Ellis

Hawkins

 

I'd like it if the highest ave rider didn't have to ride at 1, being put at 5 is better as they ride the 3 races with the reserves.

Doesn't look anything special really.... Then again none of the teams declared yet dont.

universal mediocrity - the watchword of modern Britain some would say!

like that team if that is the riding order.. tungate and heeps if they are paired together may get in each others way.. .. could be silverware coming to ippo.

maybe the Anglian Cup!

But is that true though? Mortem has gotten a rough ride on here because of that. There was a post on here labelling Risager as a "billy big balls" because he apparently caused a rift in the camp. One poster if I can recall posted that, then it seemed to escalate and snowball.

 

The knives seem out for Risager and I'm not 100% it's justified?

Looks a hit or Miss team to me. Lets hope for all those Suffolk boys who have been straved of success in both Football and Speedway terms that it is more hit than miss.. Play-offs then another disappointing end For the Ipswich Nearly men. ;)

Well hopefully we get written off as we did last year both on here and the speedway star who most had us finishing outside the play offs.

 

We did end up finishing second, just behind Somerset on the final heat of the final league meeting of the season.

 

Hopefully, we have much better luck with injury than we did when it really mattered.

I don't think it is 100% justified but i do believe Rohan had implied that he was a bit fed up of Morten cutting him up.

 

My preferred riding order would be

 

1 Richie Worrall

2 Gino Manzares

3 Morten Risager

4 Cameron Heeps

5 Rohan Tungate

6 Adam Ellis

7 Ritchie Hawkins

 

reserves can be swapped over but wouldn't make much difference. reason for morten at 3 means he has inside gate at home and cam has outside gate in 14. could maybe swap them for away matches for the same reasons.

Perhaps it is a bit harsh on him and in general many of my posts last season said as such.

 

However there was an order change and it was down to that rift and results seem to indicate it unbalanced the team sonewhat.

 

Like you say that sort of thing happens at many clubs but we dont need it again. Im sure all involved are mature enough to put it aside and get on with doing what needs to be done.

Worrall didn't get reduction for Diamonds last year so why this year?

I think he did.

 

5.78 - but started on 5.64 didnt he?
