TheScotsman Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 hopefully they wii be done this week in prep for a big finish - after all there are 6 play off group matches hopefully 3 KOC matches and potentially 2 play off final matches. Thats a lot to 'just see out' the season if not done! Is he guesting for someone? Most teams only have 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams only have 4. fat finger syndrone!Maybe a lack of sponsorship means that riders are unable to keep in top of servicing. It happens ....im sure it does - unfotunately. You would have a much better idea of the realities than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Exactly Mr spud, that's roughly what I'm saying, maybe he can't afford to get engines serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Was just looking at the Ipswich website and it struck me that we're using the same 7 riders that we started the season with, I can't be arsed to check the other teams but this strikes me as a good thing . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willowman Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 aye - the Rebels merry go round was pre season with Brady getting on for 'childs fare' so to speak! wink Don't forget the Proctor fiasco too. Of course, as you say, it was all "pre season". "Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own." Just a shame Brady isn't fit for the start of the playoffs. Could all be over by the time he is ready for a return especially after the result last night and Birks returning for our meeting at Scunny tonight.

Baldyman Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 So with Somerset only losing by 2 at scunthorpe, has the fat lady sung for us? I'm gonna say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be going to watch it in hope, but I really don't see us getting as close as Somerset, we just don't have enough fence scrapers in our team IMO Not just yet Baldy!

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I really do think we CAN. Most will predict Scunny to turn us over by more and probably rightly so but this is where we need to up our game and the boys are capable of doing that IMO.

CardinalSin Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 We'll need a lot more from the likes of Heeps and Tungate than we got last night at Plymouth if we are to do it that's for sure. Maybe it wasn't as easy to be motivated last night as the tie was pretty much a dead rubber, but we know Tungate has previous where effort and motivation are concerned! Heeps I'm finding really frustrating this year. The talent is there we've all seen it, and we saw it again on Thursday with some awesome racing from him. But just like he has so often this season, when you think he's finally back on song he quickly follows it up with a crap performance! Frustrating.

Got to agree with Bruv, I really think our Boys call put it off. Sadly can't be there as I'll be watching a meeting in Meissen, come on lads, believe!!

Baldyman Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Oh I'm not doubting they are more than capable of pulling it off, it's just one of those types of tracks that needs to be ridden a certain way, and that's not a way most of our riders ride, that's the only reason I'm going to say we won't get as close as we need to, ditto when we race at Somerset.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I will take a slighty different tack and suggest the best and worst averages each may end with. Richie Worrall - more than capable of kicking on to 9.50. Could suffer a bit of fatigue with increased international commitments causing a dip but even worst case no less than 8.25. Rohan Tungate - Could challenge for the No1 spot at 9. Falls into the promising but stagnates category a t 7. Morten Risager - Takes his chance and reaches 7.5. Misses out the purple patches and ends at 6. Cameron Heeps - Continues to flourish and gets to 8. Consolidates at 6.5 Gino Manzares - First season revelation and comes in at 6. Struggles paticularly away and hits 4.5. Adam Ellis - the 2014 Heeps at 6.5. 2nd season syndrome and 4.25 Ritchie Hawkins - Back to his best 5.5. Bruv forgets his fuel taps a few times and stays at 4. So in general great potential to improve and falls less likely. Interesting to see how right or wrong you can be! Morten Rohan Gino and Ritchie all performed at the top end of my thoughts. Adam pretty neutral. Richie and Cam a point under even my worst fears! Which just shows how strange speedway is as Worrall Heeps and Ellis would be the first names on the teamsheet for me in 2015 along with Gino.

Countershaftcounter Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Unfortunately, due to family connections, Morten is always the first name on the team sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Heard a rumour that Risager wont be in the Witches team, & that a new 7 point foreigner has been lined up. Obviously, there are loads of rumours this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
