dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 That was much closer than it shouldve been The points from Morris certainly skewed the score Harris with just 1 could also be pointed to but it could also be argued thats how we have been all season with 1 rider having a shocker in most meetings but being covered by the others Its worked well so far - its now a case of come the play offs looking to ensure all the creases are ironed out and we have everyone come to the party 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Last night we would have had a much bigger victory if Belle Vue had not had Morris as a guest, undoubtedly scored a lot more than Bewley would have. Quite clearly Bomber had a shocker but that's not entirely unexpected as he obviously doesn't like our track, tends to be better away. KP disappointing but conditions not to his liking I guess. Everyone else pretty much did their job well enough. Nice to get the 3 points and still be well up there in the league though. Just a shame we let them get a consolation point.

TommyTanker Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I did think Ipswich could beat anyone over 2 legs, now I'm not as confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Morris getting double figures. 8 points ahead of Swindon but 4 meetings in hand for the Robins going to be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the solution is obvious, ride both legs away.....possibly at Peterborough? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually was perfect for him and bomber and awful for Morris, I predicted whilst watching Chris and co work on the track, 1 out of 3 is terrible isn't it Seriously probably the best track for him to get stuck in, he by his own admission said last week he's struggling with the "new" surface.

Harris should be good for double figures and that will make a big difference to us. Could be very close either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I fear that Harris could be in terminal decline. The bad meetings are started to heavily outweigh the good ones. Come the end of the season he will need to reel off several good meetings in a row otherwise Ipswich will struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris has been declining over the last few seasons, even though he still isn't exactly old, it's also pretty rare to see him a bombing these days as well.

Baldyman Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I called it before the season started, Bomber and Barry would be pretty useless at Foxhall, guess what, ones gone and the other is pretty useless. Humble pie my backside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble pie my backside. In hindsight we should have gone for Nicholls when he was dropped by wolves but at the time bomber was in the middle of a purple patch. He seemed to have the track sussed early on with some impressive passes riding lines no one else was but now he seems to struggle to overtake opposition reserves.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 No doubt Ritchie and CL will look to make sure Bomber cleans up his act and ensure he has the help he needs in order that he can produce the performances we know he is still capable of.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I agree, I know people probably feel he should be replaced but we just know he's going to be the Ace in the pack in the play offs at Wimbore Road and ...... isn't there a Bomber shaped hole down there waiting to be filled, nah stick with him Witches fans, frustrating though he can be (I was going to say at times, but at home most of the time). Wonder what happened to his mechanic last night Also, does anybody else think he is overdoing the riding at the moment?? He seems to ride/guest most days, if not he's long tracking/grass tracking...just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Let’s be honest here. Ipswich have done very well this year and have surprised everyone, myself included. The form of Cameron Heeps, who has ripped up the form book and considerably increased his average is one of the main reasons Ipswich have done so well. They have strength in depth and easily the best two reserves in the league. KP at reserve is quite frankly ridiculous. However. The chinks are now showing. They have been ripped a new one at home by Poole, then scrapped home against Wolves and Belle Vue. Where they were clear at the top, they are now barely hanging onto Pirates shirt tails. Poole now have a meeting in hand and next weeks top of the table clash is going to be paramount in deciding who finishes top and gets the puck in the semis. With Poole starting to come back to full strength after a period where half the team were out of action, I struggle to see them beaten over two legs by Ipswich. Is it time for changes at Ipswich to bolster their championship ambitions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
