Berwick V Ipswich (koc) Saturday, May 9th. 7pm.


Recommended Posts

Surely Ipswich could have got Michael Palm Toft or Paul Starke to replace Nico. At least they are near his average. If we get close to Berwick with this line up it will be a miracle.

Another option is Adam Roynon, I know he has just come back from injury but at least he is a racer.

I'm positive ipswich would have done everything they possibly could to have secured the best guests possible for this fixture on this track, cos I'm again totally positive they want to win every trophy going this season. So the guests chosen must have been the best available.

 

 

If not, why not

Possibly, but maybe they were asked and declined we don't know.

 

What we do know, is that Covatti is the biggest miss in this team simply because he's a rider riding way above his current average.

 

We always knew he was a trump card on an attractive average this season, but the problem is when he's missing we can only replace him with a 5 pointer, when Covatti himself is riding like a 7-8 pointer.

 

R/R really hurts us this time as well as its Nielsen, a woefully out of form Hawkins and Branford taking Manzares' rides. (Can Heeps take one?)

 

No disrespect to Lawson, but he's no replacement for King either.

 

All in all its all gone a bit poo!

As every other Danish rider of any worth in the UK seems to have been recalled for Saturday, why would you expect MPT to be available?

Are the Ipswich fans just playing the 'Berwick to thrash us card' so they can show utter jubilation once they get close or win the meeting... its still a good witches line up... Branford had a decent enough meeting with the monarchs at our place and Lawson can gate well enough to do damage... Ritchie Worrall is a good guest but I'd have definitely preferred having Claus and TJ.. be interesting to see how our reserve pairing gets on :approve: Would love to see a thrashing by us to get morale back up in our camp :)

LOL behave! Are you playing the "we still beat a very good Witches team card"? The team at Berwick is nowhere near as strong as a full Witches line up and you damn well know it.

It may not be anywhere near your strongest line up but you still have enough fire power to run us close if not beat us on Saturday.

Rather than the traditional 'my dads bigger than your dad' line its more like 'my teams sh!tter than your team' on this thread!

while you may be right regarding your team strength,I think the guests are a good choice on the "horses for courses theory"Lawson is quick round Berwickif he gates and IMO Barker might be the only on to trouble him,Branford is 100% trier,don't think Covetti has been to Berwick (if he was here with Sheffield last year he certainly didnot do much if he was.Hard figure result though.

Oh we are by far the Sh!tter team

You've lost one home meeting against a good Sheffield team... We've won one home meeting against an average Newcastle team... Think yourselves lucky!

 

Yes, you're weakened but that's still a team coming to represent you that could trouble us! I hope that you are right in all honesty though cos I'd love to see us with a fighting chance of a lead to defend in the 2nd leg!
