Super Blue Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) And the lineup is Drumroll please Danny King Nico Covatti Lewis Kerr Morten Risager James Sarjeant Paco Castagna Darryl Ritchings Opinions will no doubt be forthcoming from all , mine maybe later . Oh, and Hilton agrees to step down as team manager , I wonder why ? Hmmmm . Edited November 17, 2015 by Super Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) That for me is a bit better than the proposed original team. Sargeant is probably a better bet in the 1-5 than Stefan Nielsen, and I don't think Castagna is a poorer replacement than Lewis Rose He'll up 3.33 at reserve no danger. The top 4 is sound. They'll score enough between them to keep us competitive in just about every meeting. Edited November 17, 2015 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Paco Castagna is the new full transfer and Club Asset . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Hilton agrees to step down as team manager , I wonder why ? Hmmmm . Pete Simmons is nailed on to return. The clues were there a couple of weeks ago. Both Simmons and the official Witches twitter account were following each other whilst he was team manager, then both "unfollowed" when he left, and both have now followed again at the same time a fortnight ago. When a question was put to Pete that his twitter bio of "EX" Ipswich team manager was innacurate now, he favourited the tweet. Could be 2+2 making 46, but I doubt it. By the way, great to have a Castagna in the team again for nostalgia purposes! Edited November 17, 2015 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Paco Castagna is the new full transfer and Club Asset . That's very good business from Ipswich and strange decision from Sheffield. Castagna is a very good signing on an average just above 3. That's one average improver right there. Good team to be fair.

JamesB Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I like the look of that line up, but then again I've said that for the past couple of years. I have never been Risager's greatest fan, but as a second string I think he should be strong and will hopefully average 6 - 7. Covatti has the ability to add a bit to his average and Sarjeant is a stronger option in the main body of the team than Nielsen. I think there is upside in Sarjeant's average. Whether the team is capable of actually winning something will come down to how well Kerr and Castagna perform. I thought Kerr was excellent at Foxhall last season and if he has fully recovered he could be a strong third heat leader. If Risager and Kerr do perform well, that's a team with potentially 3 1/2 - 4 heat leaders in it. AS I say, looks a decent line up with a few who could/should add to their starting averages. Roll on March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Glad to see James Sargeant got a team place, would have liked him back at Glasgow. He became quite a racer towards the end of season after always being pulled back from his (perfect) starts. He only broke the tapes twice at Glasgow but more often than not got pulled back for perfect starts. I remember Cookie changing his wheels from luminous yellow a few years back because he got pulled back so often for the same thing. I hope James goes from strength to strength. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year we seemed to have been favourites and had "The best team on paper" that we have a cupboard full of paper trophies. Would be nice to actually win one made out of actual silver so let's try the underdog route for a change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I like this team. You have King and Covatti giving you box office entertainment, and the newbies gives the team a fresh new look. Some people like to have the continuity of the same faces every year, I personally prefer to see fresh faces every year so a thumbs up from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Looks like a very decent team to me, especially if Kerr comes back to his 8 point best. Look forward to the visit to Brough Park as that team has a few track specialists in it. Could make for a great meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king junior Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Bit odd to see Paco leave as an asset. Overall though i think Ipswich have built a fairly solid team, should be one challenging at the top especially if Kerr can get going quick.
