lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Meeting No 4 in Play-Off Group B. Somerset have been hammered twice at Ippo in 2014... they'll want to avoid that again, especially given that Ipswich already have a good race points difference after last week's 57-35 win over half a Scunthorpe team. Ipswich will be after all 3 points, mindful Somerset have already picked up one away point in the group. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I think this will be a home win although Somerset are due a good one at Foxhall, the Witches have previously scored 53, 65 and 57 in the 3 home meetings against the Rebels this season and will need another high score to have any chance of qualifying for the final. Ipswich's biggest problem is they don't traditionally like either the Somerset or Scunthorpe tracks and are likely to fail badly at both. I rather feel that the significant meeting of the group is going to be when the Witches ride away at Scunny!

Roland Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I rather feel that the significant meeting of the group is going to be when the Witches ride away at Scunny! Can only agree, even if we get to 75 against Somerset at home, if we get nothing at Scunny, its all over! Roll on next March, new season and plenty of time with the evenings pulling out to fit in PLKOC Final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 A win taking all 3 points is essential. Somersets poor results at Foxhall are a bit of a mystery. Allen Morris and Aspgren have all performed well previously (but separately) and the rest are all capable of popping out and winning a race. Fingers crossed they dont choose this as the time to click at tge same time. As others have said race point difference neans nothing unless we can perform away or Scunny surprise the Rebels in their return match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Manzares will be key here. He's figured prominently in the hidings given to Somerset this season, and has been a very heavy Foxhall scorer all season long. But he's had a mare last couple of meetings with a blown engine and other mechanical problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't suppose the Rabbles will slip-up at home to the Scorpions on Wednesday ... no . Scunny are one of the few teams who can push Somerset around their place. It's a real shame we're missing Nicolai Klindt at the OTA, but Kyle Newman is a decent replacement. Don't 100% rule out Scunny on Wednesday. All the best Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 More than a decent replacement as the lad is flying at the moment. Good choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 So as expected Ritchie H and Cam swapping places for this one, I don't think it will make a great deal of difference as both are more than capable of scoring decent pts from either position. Still hoping for a reasonably comfortable homewin but I reckon that the group will be decided away from Foxhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 We always seem to pick up injuries at play off time, hope Charles can make a speedy recovery, and good luck to Kyle tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 50-43 would do me. As others have said, tomorrow at Scunny should be defining meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree just get the maximum three points tonight and then try and get something from Scunthorpe tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worse you could end up like Ipswich last season, by the time we got knocked out of the play-offs and were in the KOC final we finished with 3 of our 7 riders. Adam Ellis & Rohan Tungate got injured in the play-offs and Ben Barker & Leigh Lanham got injured in the KOC final. What a damp squib that turned out to be.

TheScotsman Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Indeed - I had forgotten how badly Ippo were hit last year. I was just thinking of how Nick Morris wiped out Joe Tabaka in the 1st leg of the play-off final putting him out of action for both legs, forcing him to delay his wedding because of the injury and costing him his Monarchs team place for this year because he wasn't going to be fit. And quite likely costing Monarchs the title last year. But bitter - moi? - too right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Surely we need to kick some butt tonight, just in case we don't get anything tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Or hope Scunthorpe get a point at Somerset, which is more likely than us getting anything. Wouldn't we then all end on 6 Edited October 2, 2014 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Or hope Scunthorpe get a point at Somerset, which is more likely than us getting anything.

Wouldn't we then all end on 6 Will be tough for Scunny to get a point at Somerset now. Maybe next year? As for tonight - would have liked to have seen Wolbert instead of Howarth if he was available. We might have stood a chance of a point then. Edited October 2, 2014 by Barney Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
