Fromafar Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Berwick if they are more than 16 behind have a tough job on in the second leg Ipswich to win over two legs.If Newman was riding for me it would of been easier for Ipswich it will be close i think.I agree regarding Newman a big loss for Ipswich.

Pob Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I agree regarding Newman a big loss for Ipswich. Â Losing Newman IMO has taken us from certain top 4 to play off contenders with a host of other teams . The average he came in on was a steal and he will be a big loss . Sarjeant will do a job for us i'm sure but there was a lot more scoring potential from Newman and i'm sure he would have increased his average no problem . Â Its all still if and buts at this early stage of the season and Sarjeant may ready to move on from the promise he showed in patches last two season .

Baldyman Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Newman would have made us very strong on plenty of away tracks, now we may struggle on a fair few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Newman really is a loss,also i believe he is a very good team rider which is a very good asset to have.Realistically if the reserves can score 8/10 between them each week at home the Witches will be fine away will be harder though Sarjeant and Heeps are the key.

CookieIpswich Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 What other options were there? James had a terrific end to last season, I think its not just the loss of Kyle to consider, if james can carry his form over, it will come down unfortunately to Hume and just how well he can progress which is alot of pressure, and what if a premiership team comes in for him? Â I honestly believe hume will be on a 4/4.5 average by the end of the season and that alone could make the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 There probably was other options if they were explored, but James was instantly free and with no possible clashes, so in a way I'm gonna say the obvious choice, although maybe not my first choice. Now he is here though I wish him all the best and hope he becomes that best option. Hopefully he will hit the ground running tonight.

CookieIpswich Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm not saying he is a poor choice if he carries on from last season I feel he could be equal to newman as there was no guarantee he would have increased his average even tho on paper in a watered down league he should.  Apart from Hume the next big thing is Covatti, I watched Saturday just thinking if only he could gate lol this season he needs to be regularly in double figures home and away, he is super exciting to watch but that doesn't win you titles  He is everyone's favourite but my fear is he may not progress but its early days I'll reserve judgement but give my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 That's the thing with Covatti, I don't want him to gate and go, just like loram screen, Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Anything more than 14-16 points and I'd say it's already game over! I hope to be proved wrong so that there's something to fight for on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was then quick and very smooth in his second heat. OK, he fell in his third whilst racing for the lead and looked after Hume in his fourth. 7+1 is ok with me.
