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? Yup you are right about Heeps Steve. He was/ has been remarkably poor, but he's always had the abillity. As for Ippo as a team, i dont think our management nor riders will be taking them lightly somehow.

Even if they wanted to, what changes could they possibly make tho? Has be available riders to make the difference and I just see where they’d come from! The only way to realistically change bomber for an upgrade would be to say drop him and KP for example as he’s the lowest average their combined is 12.19 then you’d need to lose 0.63 to redeclare at 42.5 meaning an 8 point continental rider and 3.56 left over so perhaps ash Morris - but just can’t see who that continental rider would be? Zagar, a pawlicki, Lindgren? they just don’t want to come here currently! Would be pretty damn harsh on KP or anyone else in the team who are all doing their job for the most part, just bomber letting us down consistently, particularly at home. And on 6.83 who would be available to just replace bomber who’s actually an improvement!!?? Bellego? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as of yet he has not cost us any home points. When we lost at home at Poole everyone had an off night. Will point to the fact though that away from home he is our highest average rider and has for sure won us away points. So all in all a plus but yes you are right he does need to sort his ipswich form out. Last meeting he did seem to be lacking in effort. Maybe a confidence thing, i dont know, but Bomber if you do read these forums most Ipswich fans know you are a far better rider than you are showing at Ipswich so time now to get your gating gloves on. Get off that lawnmower of an engine you seem to be using and show all us Ipswich fans what you can do. After all the majority know what you can do when you mindset is right. Maybe too many meetngs too as i seem to remember reading somewhere that Chris has to do alot of the work himself as well as drive himself to meetings?

Bash Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Let's hope Bomber comes to the party at Foxhall when it matters in the play-offs. Looked like on Thursday he was riding to get sacked to end up in Poole's team!! Not very good when he was not on the victory parade truck, I know he was probably feeling down but still no excuse. Also, if he is struggling with set ups why is he not out after the meeting trying things out. Thought the track would've suited him Thursday but doesn't ride the right lines. Cam, Eddie & Jake prove passing is possible with wide lines & inside lines. He needs two big performances at Lynn & Poole this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
