Swindon isn't a big track now and Bellego didn't do much when we rode there.

That was his first look at the place.  Kennett won’t have ridden it.  At least Bellego has had some premiership track experience.  I hope this works out but by no means see it as a no brainer

As gavan would say that makes you stronger ;)

Gavan is one of the more eccentric Ipswich posters and doesn’t appear to have the same wise sense than his fellow Suffolk folk as far as I can tell.

Mixed feelings re- Kennet-- a bit of a "faded Glory" as "has been" who never quite "been". He is likely to score more overall,  but just when he does well he is then poor.

I’m not sure about this.  Kennett had a golden year then his bike was found to be turbo charged if I remember correctly.

 

id prefer Bellego over Kennett in a 2 leg tie against Belle Vue or Swindon.

I agree with you in some respect but we have been to every track and bar Belle Vue he has been poor.

Its a risk worth taking that we dont meet Belle Vue in the play offs.....but we beat Belle Vue by 14 at home and 6 away so we could afford Eddie to say get 5 at Belle Vue and still be favourites over 2 legs

In 2 matches v Belle Vue , Bellego scored 14......Im sure Eddie would get 6 and 6 at least and only a difference of 2 points over the 2 matches

In my opinion barring injuries the top 4 looks like being Belle Vue, Ipswich, Swindon and possibly Peterborough though Kings Lynn have ridden only once at home and with Cook and possibly Riss to come back they could go on a run to the top 4

You have to feel for Bellego after such a decent season last year but it was becoming obvious his time was becoming limited.

Kennett away from home weakens the Witches although Bellego has been poor all season bar one match.

Kenneth surely strengthens Ipswich home and away comparing bellegos form not what Bellego is capable of, that's why the change has happened right?

Harris and Bellego should have gone a couple of weeks ago when others riders were available or sort of available 

I'd have preferred Scott and cook over Harris and Bellego

We just need Kennett to do the same as the others, a steady 6/7/8/9. Bellego wasn’t doing that. 

Nobody is expecting him to come in and be a heatleader and to be honest, we don’t need him to be. 

He’ll slot in to the middle order and make this “strength in depth” team even more strength in depth. 

100% improves this team IMO.

Really don’t think it does Steve. Hard to be weakened away from home by axing a rider who Belle Vue aside, has been absolutely dreadful!

I cant see how people say he weakens the team away from home at all

As stated take away the one match at Belle Vue and Bellego has scored 2,0,0,5,4

In those matches we have been competitive and won a couple

In 5 matches Bellego has scored 11 points.......nobody can tell me that Kennett wouldnt do better than that

Don’t think he was that great last season Steve & struggled away from home.

If I could be bothered I'd look up all of Gavan's posts slating Kennett when Poole signed him as a replacement a couple of seasons ago!:rofl:

Most  truthful thing that has ever been written.

Hope you know it's against the rules to edit someone's post and then post it for your own weird amusement and the two weird ones who finds it funny. 

Funny how Stevebrum hates it when people take the mick out of his lack of sleep but okay to make fun of other people!

Kennett can be superb around Foxhall, and has been in fine form in championship so far this season.

I think other than perhaps at Belle vue Eddie is an upgrade all round.

Shame for David it’s not worked as he seems a likeable fella but a change had to be made, best of luck in the future David hope you get fixed up elsewhere

Can’t agree with that - have had both at Swindon and Bellego is the better of the two.  He didn’t master Ipswich but he was easily your best rider at the NSS.

Just don’t put EK at number 4 as he usually bottles heat 14.

Hope Bellego gets fixed up.  Has his average fallen enough to replace Zach at Swindon :wink: (not a serious comment but what a team that would be :wink: )

Bomber,,, but only cos he isn't his best at Foxhall,,, his average will be dropping like a stone 

He was on fire the first few meetings at foxhall barging his way past opponents with ease.  It’s a mystery how he is now mr inconsistent.  I’d be reluctant to drop him given the lack of genuine heat leader replacements.  Also it might dent team morale if the incoming rider wasn’t as experienced.

Yeah but you also said pre-season that we were easily the worst side in the league and were certs for the wooden spoon :P

What about the other 6 away meetings? The NSS was always going to be ONE that he would go well on. 

You must know as much anyone how bad Bellego is on Away circuits in general. I think some of you Swindon fans are blinded by the fact he was such a heavy scorer around your home track in the past. 

To use a term by strumpet, anyone with “half a brain” can see that Kennett is an upgrade on Bellego. Kennett will go better at the majority of tracks (including his new home one at Foxhall) than Bellego it’s as simple as that. 

Unfortunately for whoever picks him up, Swindon’s old track that he loved so much is no longer there. Still, he may go well at Belle Vue!
