Anyone with half a brain knew that the Panthers would struggle to get anything tonight without an in form Hans. 

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.

How many times did rohan pass Harris.     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!

Or.... anyone would know it was a good time to take on the witches who were missing a reserve good for 9-10 points and a heat leader good for 7.... those 16 points were replaced by 5 a difference of 11.

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.

Panthers trying to use Hans missing as the reason they lost when Ipswich were further under strength 

Still not heard why Tungate never had an extra ride

Foxhall already has a high clay content

Fair enough, like I said won’t pretend to be a track curator just pondering out loud!

dare I say perhaps there’s actually too much material on the track?? which adds to it becoming so tricky and choppy earlier on

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

I understand after yesterdays rain the track was literally flooded with standing water yet by this afternoon was almost bone dry. 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

I agree not easy. 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.

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

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.

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
