Berwick Bandits Vs Ipswich Witches 11th July


Recommended Posts

Stroll in the park for Ippo.

you will say the same for Thursdays match at Foxhall and as much as I would like you to be right Im not convinced for either!

The Witches certainly can pull off a win. As is often the case we need to make sure we are still in it after the first 5 heats and then who knows....

I agree we usually start very slowly and then get in to our stride mid meeting before hitting top gear in the latter stages.

 

Can't afford to keep doing that especially against the better sides like Edinburgh who will also be strong in the closing heats.

With Stef would have been 4

 

Btw he just won his 1st heat in italy

We would definitely, but if Berwick had Vissing we could have struggled for the win who knows.

 

Good much needed three away points though keeps us on course.

 

Excellent from Tungate and King.

 

That's one of the benefits of having a top line rider at 1, always felt confident in that last heat that we would get the points needed.

Well done boys nice to see Rohan back among the points just need Cam to get going. Morris been a great signing

Heeps has so much talent and should be far better than he is currently. Unfortunately the wrist injuries have definitely hampered his progress.

 

Hopefully he stays fit from now until the end of the season and improves.

Well chuffed with that.

 

Best Rohan performance of the year - take a bow fella.

 

Vital points when needed from all the Witches - a real team effort.

Cam still short of race fitness. I think he will come good - hopefully just it when it matters most.

If ever a meeting showed how much we are missing Ben and Claus this was it. Five from r/r from Claus and 7 from Matej Kus guesting for Ben, well down on what you would normally get from them. Can't go on asking numbers 3 and 4 riders to do the jobs or numbers 1 and 2. Danny King outstanding tonight, nobody even close. Tungate not far behind. Took a cracking second bend by TJ to beat him in heat 14. Only consolation was Edberg had a decent night, might get his confidence up a bit.

Without sounding to obvious if you don't provide heat winners you're never going to win meetings and that quite simply was tonight's problem , we're severely lacking firepower without our missing riders and cant keep relying on guests and R/R to fill the gaps .On a positive note it was great to have the meeting done and dusted before 8:30 pm that's the way it should be every week .

As the previous two posters have said lack of race winners was Berwick`s undoing last night, if you provide only four race winners round your own track you don't deserve to win a meeting and Berwick didn't last night. Doolan, Jorgensen etc actually produced scores a second string should but we had no fire power at the top of the team and R/R failed to score the points Vissing would have. On a positive note it was good to see Edberg put in something like the performance he is capable of, but we need that meeting in meeting out. Last nights defeat makes making the play offs very difficult, a defeat next week against the Monarchs will end any lingering hopes of making the top six.

Couldnt makw it last night but speaking to a few who did it seems to have been a decent meeting. Shame about score but probably closer than many expected

it was better than the Peterborough meeting for sure I just have a gut feeling that this season is over for us already

Shame if it is would like to have gone out on a high if this is (as many are saying) this is our last season
