I must have half a brain then as I thought it would be very close this evening. Garcia was always going to score next to nothing and Pieszczek was a miss as he’s pretty handy at Foxhall. After heat 10 it was anyone’s meeting and in the end, Panthers were only 2 points adrift of picking up a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't seen Harris on the fast line at home In fairness I was rather impressed with Rohan’s crafty little moves up the inside, nicholls like Harris seemed rather taken aback by the speed Rohan was carrying off of the bends running such a tight line! Not one other rider tried/achieved the same tonight. A good battling performance once again from the witches, Lawson looks to enjoy the pressure of no.1 on his back, impressive wins I ht13&15 which effectively stopped Peterborough gaining a point. bellego scored some important points in the second half of the meeting but was woeful early on - you’d have thought he’s spent enough time now watching people in front of him going faster showing him the lines yet he still seems to ride different lines to everyone else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly you missed Hans and R/R got you 3 I would have said Hans would get say 12.... a difference of 9. In my opinion Ipswich would have won by slightly more if both teams at full strength Think strumpet is a Witches supporter Gav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Difficult conditions spoilt the spectacle rather. Hard work out there tonight with it very inconsistent but you couldnt tell where the patchy bits were as it looked perfect!! Goid win and stopped the pussycats getting a point so some positives Onwards and upwards. If Nuts is out for any length of time Id pur RR at 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult task to get it into any kind of order Probably damp deepdown and a dry crust which then needed water but caused the patchy effect Given the circumstances I think Bob did a sterling job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting it to be difficult as the weather was very similar to the 24 hours leading to the Wolves fixture. Heavy overnight rain then a dry day. We saw how tricky that made things against Wolves so tonight wasn’t such a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellego says he wants to get better at Foxhall,, but as of yet I haven't seen him doing any practice. Both him and Harris could do with following Danny and or Lawson or even Heeps around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 A win is a win and to do it when considerably under strength shows great character in the team. If we have 7 fit riders and they all fire together then someone could get a hiding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Ultimately both teams can say absentees cost them points. Would Josh have scored much more than Kyle? Maybe but not too many more if his appearance for us was anything to go by. Hans would no doubt have got more than the 3 RR points but KP would also have got more than the 4 RR points. Oh and Jake would have got a hell of a lot more than 1 point so overall I think the result was probably closer than it would have been had both teams been complete. And yes as Chris Louis has admitted the track was not good so I think the overall result was a fair one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 7 "Ipswich" riders vs 7 "Peterborough" (Or in this case only 6 vs 6) "Ipswich" team took the 3 points. "Peterborough" got no points. Next...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think Josh would have scored much more than 2 + 1? He rode as reserve at our place and got 2.....so highly unlikely he would have got much more from the harder number 3 position Hans R/R got 3...................yet Ipswich only got 5 from replacements for KP and Allen....who would likely have been good for an awful lot more Peterborough fans blaming the bad guest and r/r for their loss yet somehow forgetting how much Ipswich were weakened KP and Allen at home this season have scored 13,13,20,13,11 (jake missed his last ride) So we would normally have got 13 and we got 5 so we were 8 points down. Hans r/r got 3 so it evened out Edited June 7, 2019 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
