Ipswich 2015


Recommended Posts

The gist of the article is Brian Messenger has no intention as staying on as manager, Heeps is a must to stay as he's on an artificial average due to him taking a while to overcome wrist surgery, and he hints at a big hitting number 1 and then finding the right 3 point man.

 

He says he has no knowledge of who we will sign, but he's heard King mentioned so that looks a possibility.

Honest answer is I don't know. I don't think come the end of next season that there will be much between Tungate & King so I think I would go with Tungate & use the extra left to have a stronger tail.

I think we should hold on to Manzares Heeps & Worrell .

I think a new up & coming rider like Max Ruml or the German Michael Haertel would be a good shout.

Couldn't agree more with that bit, but totally disagree regarding Tungate and King.

 

There's no doubt in my mind that King will be a 9 point number 1, Tungate on the other hand wouldn't get remotely close to that riding at 1 all season in my opinion.

 

Tungate has done well to push his average up over 8, but he's achieved that average not riding in the number 1 position.

 

If he's chosen to lead the team next year he'll get my full support, but if he's going to be our "big hitter" in the team we're going to be seriously outgunned at the tail end of meetings.

 

For the record Worrall isn't the answer at 1 either, but he has a better looking average and would be ok as a second heatleader.

Options with both King and Tungate are possible but limit the bottom end needing 2 3ish pointers.

 

King

Tungate

Worrall or Risager

Manzares

Heeps

O Greenwood

Sarjeant

Worrall is the perfect rider to have as second heat leader, just look how much better his scoring was once he moved to 5

Agreed but problem is if He's second heatleader behind Tungate, then IMO he'll very quickly move back to number 1.

 

Neither Tungate nor Worrall are strong enough at number 1 for me.

 

King and Worrall top 2, harsh on Rohan yes but that's what I'd like to see.
