Ipswich V Glasgow Pl Thurs 17th July 2014 @7-30


Recommended Posts

Impressive performance from Tigers who it seems might have won but for re-runs..

 

Hard luck on Christian to suffer a further mishap on his return from injury.

 

What was Wolbert's exclusion for in ht 1 and who was the ref who, according to the Updates, was holding the tapes too long ?

Witches point tonight was down to the ref in the end after putting the red lights on as soon as Gino fell on bend 1 in 14. Was getting to his feet and other 3 were still going down back straight. However he had earlier excluded Gino for a 2nd unsatisfactory start. Both were identical incidents. 3 riders into bend 1 at same time means rider on outside falling. Hawkins given mom, oh for a reserve of his scoring ability. Don't know what's up with Ellis and Heeps but both more than struggling.

Unfair riding. Took Worrall line away bends 3/4. Worrall did well to stay on. Tony Steele. Didn't think tapes were being held imo Edited by 2ndbendbeerhut

We certainly got out of jail with a point tonight, well done to Glasgow. We Ipswich fans are generally fairly patient, but I'm hoping there's a change at No 7 before the next meeting. Adam looked awful tonight, Cam wasn't much better, but at least he did the business in heat 14. I'm sure they're aren't many options for replacing Adam, but we need someone, and quick!!!!

I dont think the tapes were being held for a particularly long time.

They did seem a bit loose and were flapping about a bit too much.

IMO this is what caused so many problems at the start.

Well done Glasgow great point and hope Henry is ok. Now on to our sorry septet. In my opinion ref wasn't holding tapes to long at all. The decision to exclude Wolbert was correct. The decision to exclude Gino was wrong but win some you lose some. Worrall never really looked that quick. Richie H ride well including some clever first bends. Morten was solid and dependable as is usually the case. Gino wasn't his usual self great ride to get 2nd off 15 metres before harshly excluded then baling out in heat 14. Tungate had bike issues but looked quick when beating Wolbert in heat 13 and I would have had him in heat 15. Cam was poor until popping out in heat 14. Ellis needs to work on his starts, did anyone else notice he couldn't keep his front wheel down at all off the line? For the tigers Wolbert looked class and Thomsen looked useful to.

Adam seems to be really struggling with his starting. Each time tonight within a couple of yards his view was of his own front wheel.

If he can sort that out then he will be right in the mix. Surely this is where he should be getting the advice and input from those with the experience.

You are right, Adams front wheel jumps straight up in the air in all his races. I don't know his starting technique, but it doesn't look to me that he clutches it a few times after the initial drop, or maybe he just needs to back his spring tension off half a turn each, who knows, only him I guess. Cameron also looks woeful most of the time. One good start in 14, apart from that, awful. If fans think he will pile on the points at reserve, then think again.

Having just got home , upon reflection " How sh1te was that tonight ?

 

It must be one of the most pathetic , inept performances I have ever witnessed at Foxhall . Simply god awful !

 

Let's take a look at the riders individually ,

 

Richie W , a decent return for your no1 , no real complaints .

 

Ritchie H , good score for the night , no issues here .

 

Morten , another good score , as we've come to expect this season .

 

Now the rest !

 

Gino , not as convincing as of late , maybe a tad unlucky not to get more .

 

Rohan , disappointing evening , poor overall and very hit and miss .

 

Cam , generally shocking , what the hell has happened to him this season ?

 

Adam , equally shocking I'm afraid , not pushed on at all this year !

 

Much as it pains me to say this a change or two really does need to be made ! We have at least 2 seriously underperforming riders which is shown clearly by the fact that we are under the points limit .

 

So , if Chris Louis is actually serious about wanting to have a winning team he needs do something about it !!!!!! Loyalty to your team is admirable but pee'd off supporters are not going to keep coming back and pay their hard earned to watch garbage !

 

Just my opinion .

 

Once again full credit to Glasgow who probably deserved to win on the night .

Isn't that what the EL fast track was supposed to help with? Edited by Shadders

No Shadders , that was purely a cost cutting measure dressed up as something positive . Ellis looked a much better rider in the same fixture at Glasgow , was surprised how poor both Ipswich reserves were last night . And while I'm delighted with a point , oh for that 5-1 we should have got in heat 14 though

Theo Pijper deliberately staying down at Rye House in the KOC match when we were on a 5-1 in heat 13, (Wolbert won the rerun) probably cost us the tie. What comes around..... Edited by Shadders
