2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Great meeting. Plenty of passes and not as one sided as score suggests. Since the lull and struggle against Glasgow the team have certainly pulled together and all of them are finding some form. Track looks best it's been with a few lines and riders seem to be helping each other on track too. Long may it continue. As for Berwick. Their riders were in the mix but Witches were more determined. Wethers, Bellego and Carr were struggling but the rest had their moments and on other nights would have scored more.

After last weeks win some on here hinted that it was down to Somerset being that bad rather than Ipswich being good . Surely we can't be that unlucky two weeks running ?

On that performance would have given any team a tough time. Like I added to previous post, just seemed to be very determined like their lives depended on it. Don't know what has been said recently but has certainly worked! Ps that goes for Adam too. Looks a totally different rider last 2 weeks, gating well, fast and looks more confident! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Well , I certainly didn't expect that result and will give full credit to the team for an excellent all round performance tonight , pulling off some great passes when they didn't gate and looking full of grit and determination . Have we finally turned the corner on the form front ? Is it too late to secure a playoff place ? Time will tell , but thoroughly enjoyed tonight and well done lads !

spanner47 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Great performance, decent crowd, top notch meeting, best of the season. Well done to some of the Berwick lads, it takes two teams to produce racing as good as that. If someone had said 2-3 years ago you'd get better racing at Foxhall than over the border at compost corner, you'd have been sent to the funny farm. But from what I've seen lately, the racing is certainly better this side of the border, and long may it continue!!! Up the Witches!!!

screm Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Getting anything at Ipswich was always going to be a tough ask, though I thought we might score a few more. As has already been pointed out no team will win meetings if three riders score only two between them and you have two riders scoring zero, bit of a mystery why captain Wethers was allowed all four rides. Hoping for much better tonight at Scunthorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ippo are a top side on there day when all pull together Been under performing all season Don't expect anything from Scunny tonight Good scores from Jensen and Visser though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Decided to pop along to this one at the last minute and I'm so glad I did, some fabulous racing. On another very hot and humid day it must have been a nightmare for the track staff to get the track in decent shape for racing. But hats off to them because they produced a top class race strip and the excellent racing naturally followed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Like everyone else, I thought is was a pretty good performance and some pretty good racing. A big well done to the track staff for producing a good race track which produced plenty of passing opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I reckon we'll do well to keep Ipswich to below 60 points next Thursday the form they're in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm not as convinced as some about our current excellent form. Yes in the last 2 meetings we have won comfortably, but i don't think the opposition has been as good as it could have been. Now if we get a point out of tonight's meeting, then I will then agree with the others that we have suddenly hit top form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your promoter has deep pockets.Oh, and you can tell the staff in the snack bar on the first bend to cheer up too.
