Falcon1983 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Makes Ipswich weaker IMO Harris doesn't look like turning it around regardless so now witches will be reliant on NKI, Heeps, Allen, Lawson and King at home while carrying Harris and Sarjeant Let's face it Harris is never going to score big every week at Foxhall but if he did rediscover some form away then it makes the witches stronger away potentially As someone said earlier tho would have preferred to see Harris & Kennet go and bring In NKI and a stronger reserve Time will no doubt tell, must enjoy NKI while we can as he wont be here next season now hes in the GPs Think most would have preferred Tungate now instead of Harris lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Presumably Kennett & KP have already been given the wink that they will be riding for another club in the merry go round we have these days? Peterborough? Lynn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give the team a lift. Could well help for sure, less pressure on Lawson at 2 riding with Niels rather than an out of form Harris, less pressure on Harris not at no.1, less pressure on Allen back down at reserve, obviously all riders 1-7 in any team are required to score points to be successful but several may be coming into the coming meetings with renewed confidence from the changes and subsequent position changes. Adding a current Grand Prix rider who has just finished on the podium in the gp challenge must add confidence to the camp mustn’t it? hopefully the weather is decent in the coming weeks the day of and day before meetings like last week as the track was superb and all of them looked much more comfortable on it last week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Seeing as the riding order changes week to week what does anybody think will be our lineup. Maybe 1. NKI 2. Heeps 3. Lawson 4. Harris 5. King 6. Sarjeant 7. Allen Or Harris at 2, Heeps at 3 & Lawson at 4 Just seen the preview on the Ipswich website and is as above but Harris at 3 and Lawson at 4.

heathen chemistry Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 i carnt believe folks talking about dropping harris, come play off he is the one rider you need in your team, look what he did last year at poole , ipswich could well be at poole some time in the play offs another point id make is does anyone think it rather a little bit suspect that ipswich and poole have suffered massive losses then made huge signings just in time for the play offs , speedway still a numbers game , worrall's average is 5.22 how can THJ average be below that?

Because THJ isn't actually that good. He is nowhere the rider that was threathening to be a top GP rider a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbobee Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Personally I think any team should not entertain bringing in a rider in the last few days before the transfer deadline who quite obviously did not want to commit to a full season in GB in the first instance, even if it does strengthen their chances of play-off success ...... it's all at the expense of riders who were committed to GB I reckon ..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results in August won’t have any affect on riders green sheet averages until 1st September which is after the 28th August cut off for transfers so doesn’t make a difference - what it does show is the promotion have waited until the last week to give the riders the maximum opportunity to rediscover their early season form before deciding on changes - changes have been made to give them what they believe are the best chances of making the playoffs and competing in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Will people stop going on about last night meetings/averages and changes, we are currently using averages that came out on 1st August, last nights meetings won’t even be used in September averages! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
