He was demotivated last season for both his teams, he was lucky he didn’t get the sack from both teams. This year a completely different rider. Applied, professional and fit. It’s there for all to see this season. Promised so much early on and achieved little since. Maybe this year will be his breakthrough year. 1 hour ago, Falcon1983 said: Bellego did ride well in one heat tonight though in all fairness No he didn’t, he was stone last in all 3 heats. great point for the boys with plenty of fight. With Allen in the team it probably wouldn’t have been as close so we got lucky on that one. why Harris was in heat 15 is baffling, the explanation by Hawkins was odd too. King and Heeps or Pieszczek only deserved consideration. still, we will take that point. Onwards and upwards. Another ‘new’ shaped track to feature on TV that hasn’t shown the great racing we would expect. The dirt line was way too deep and also slick inside in the first half which was dreadful. At least it got better in the 2nd half. Edited May 20, 2019 by stevebrum Missing word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Think it was a big missed opportunity by Wolves in all honesty Steve. We made numerous errors early doors and were missing our key rider. When Wolves kept getting their noses in front I thought that was that. Any away point is good, but I’m sure most Wolves supporters would have seen this one as a missed opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Why do people have to be smart arses? Just explain to Falcon that the race where "Bellego" came from the back wasn't him. He was replaced by Heeps, but the commentators didn't notice. I thought it was Bellego at the time, too. They said it was, after all.

Sounds about right for Tatum and Pearson tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wolves away form repeats itself yet again. # Home team weakened. # Home team gift us points. # Opposition Team Manager has a brain fade. # We find a way to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been the unbeaten KP Still we are top of the league .... will take that Harris was in heat 15 because Hawkins doesn't know what he is doing. Say what you like about Middlo but he wouldn't of done that. Allen was a big miss tonight but the plus for Ipswich was KP who rode much better than he did against Poole.

To be fair I was trying to be smart lol I thought it was Bellego until the camera zoomed in and say no.6 with heeps on the back, I did think to myself during the race that Bellego seems determined..... BWitcher you need to get over yourself with my comment about in an ideal world speedway would be £10 and a meeting over in around 60 minutes, I do have other interests in life, If i can travel from work to foxhall, get there for the parade 7.30 and be in my car ready to turn left out of foxhall by 9pm, happy days If my comment about speedway should be 60 minutes has offended you then perhaps you shouldn't be allowed on the internet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hawkins came across as, well it would be impolite to say it as it appeared to me. Hopefully, he has a better relationship with his riders and an understanding of the sport than he has with the media. At the very least some help with that seems necessary. And sadly this meeting I can only rate as 5/10 and was a poor advert for UK speedway. Even Tatum & Pearson fell far below their usual almost impeccable selves. Not just with the errors but with downright lies replacing their usual spin on how wonderful it all was. They seemed quite disinterested at times, perhaps they were suffering from post G.P. blues? If the Live matches are not going to rise about the Swindon match and this one it certainly wasn't worth Buster "saving" the PL for TV. The sport looked completely moribund and was raced in front of a crowd that looked like less than a 1,000 ( maybe far less ). Cannot see how any casual non-speedway fan who stumbled across the broadcast would consider rushing to their nearest track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 So the witches need 3 changes to become league winners I think. Harris, Bellego, Hawkins,,,,, then job done 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In sure it's one of the reasons the camera's only at Foxhall once,,,,, it's never looked good on TV,,, which is why we were always on less years ago to. It's not the only track that looks rubbish on TV,,, poole, kingslynn the same Edited May 21, 2019 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriors Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think what they need is proper shale, not top soil, seems that all 3 tracks that buster Chapman is involved in have all the same material coincidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I agree the first half of the meeting wasn’t great, but the track was clearly a factor early on. Second half of the meeting was pretty decent I thought. Couple of great races when Heeps missed the gate, and the Polish lad had a couple of great rides too. Looks a bit of a nutter mind! Not sure a couple of the Wolves lads have him on their Christmas card list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Bellego clearly cant perform to the level that is required Harris is just awful as a number one And when you have Bates wobbling around and the other reserve flying then how on earth was Heeps not given 7 rides Louis needs to look at the team manager situation. How does Heeps not get 7 rides and how on earth was Harris in heat 15. Had to be Heeps or KP, nobody would expect Harris to make it off of gate 4 Also cant believe i read that Lawson needs to go.... thats 3 home meetings on the spin he has won heat one. Replace Harris and Bellego while we can and get a team manager who knows how to manage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriors Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Heat 15 is probably in Harris's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Lawson is doing everything expected of him. He isn’t a Premiership heatleader and never has been. He’s a solid middle order 6 pointer and that’s exactly what we’re getting. Hes doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there will never be a better opportunity to get an away win particularly at Ippo. There is a good reason Ipswich are doing well and it’s not just because of Allen. They have a good balance and that shouldn’t be underestimated as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Bellego needs to go, totally out of his depth. He made the gate in heat 14 and was leading into bend 1 and rolled it off and entered the bend last where he remained. I thought I would check out the tv replay when I got home and it looked even worst. Have to agree that Lawson is doing his job, would've had more last night as he was leading heat 8 when Bates fell off and got blocked in the rerun. I said after the Peterborough match that Hawkins hasn't got a clue and last night proved it again. Harris in heat 15 what a joke, should've been Heeps or KP. As for Harris he is so hit & miss, he should be riding the lines Heeps uses, but just seems to ride in no mans land in the middle of the turns, just doesn't seem to have the pace. Knew it would be a tight meeting and said I would take any victory as missing Jake was always going to affect our scoring. Good luck to Peterborough with Bates, doesn't look like the same rider who started the season on fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
