Badge Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 For what it's worth, whilst we weren't at the races, that was a first class performance by swindle. Well done best team won, and won easily. Thanks nico for your excellent guest booking, glad you haven't got the poo syndrome yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent for Nico yes - for ipswich no. knocked KP off virtually when on a 5-1 in ht 2 completely unnecessarily and again fenced Heeps in ht 8 when on a 5-1 on second resulting in a 4-2, Swindon were by far the better team tonight but Nico didn’t look for a teammate once, rode through anyone and everyone he got the chance to. only way I see us reaching the final now is dropping bomber and KP and bringing in a top rider at no.1 to come and be the hero. shame a few weeks back I thought KP was steadily improving riding at the tough no.5 spot and since he’s dropped to reserve he’s dropped off a cliff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also put Lawson back at number 2. Put cam and Jake at 3 and 4 too. Not working with Cam at 2. Main problem though is why on earth can none of them gate at Ipswich? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh we commented on the fact that we have a misfiring no 1 and an injured no 2, definitely need Richard to cover bomber, and Danny at 5, with cam and Jake together again, makes sense. Sorry only watched up to heat 5, was busy from then so missed nico's boo boos after heat 2!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Not sure too much can be read in to this result as Ipswich seem to be in freefall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham78 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Don't know what's happened to Ipswich - can't believe this was the same team that pushed Swindon really hard at Blunsdon a few weeks ago, Pieszczek was outstanding that night but was really struggling tonight as were most of his team mates. The Budgies didn't have to break sweat - Doyley & Batch were a class apart and helped themselves to paid maximums. Special mention for Ellis Perks again; that guy tries so hard 4 paid 5 but deserves more with the amount of effort he puts in. With Wolves losing at K Lynn tonight, think we're well in contention for a play off place now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.V 72 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Buster should have told Harris he's no longer a heat leader in this league and not Bjerre. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeps clearly not fully fit & KP looked like a complete novice. Nico pushing for a Foxhall return next season as the Super reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 So last night...... What a shocker! Harris down on power? I'm not so sure just looks like he is struggling to ride seemed to be fighting to keep control on bends one & two. KP looked like a complete novice hard to believe he was winning races at number 5. To be honest though no one expect Nico can escape criticism. Perhaps Louis should get on the phone to Dudek his GP performance has dropped of maybe he needs more track time and sharpening up just like Hancock did when he went to Poole.

Gavan Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Went last night for only the second time this season Yet again we were just awful out of the gate, consistently beaten to the first bend Ive no idea why we have carried on with Harris he is just awful. Made one gate and even then Batchelor passed him like he was standing still. KP looked woeful and Allen certainly struggled. But as that Pinny thing reminded me , you cant have riders out of form, well at the moment Allen, Lawson and KP are out of form and maybe low on confidence. Swindon proved why they are favourites for the league. A top 5 that no other side can match. Doyle and Batchelor cruised through the meeting never looked any chance of them being beaten. Musielek was fast and Jensen looks a find. Special mention for Ellis Perks.....his score did not reflect his riding, was on the pace in every race and looks a decent rider Nobody will want this side in the play offs , at this rate nobody will get close to them. Im hopeful that we can still sneak in but the management need to make changes or the season will just blow up totally We have 5 matches left...home and away v Swindon where we will get nothing from..................home and away v Poole where we could get a home win.............home v Peterborough which now becomes a must win match. That will leave us on 39 points meaning Wolves will need to get 10 points and with away trips to Belle Vue and Poole to come i cant see it. Looking at the matches left i can see Swindon maybe even getting top spot and then they would pick us. Ive been saying on here for a long time Swindon are the best side in the league with the best manager....looking good for the Robins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KP becomes available I would have him. Clearly not enjoying the Ipswich track, but a far better rider than he is showing.

I wouldn't be afraid of Poole facing them , I agree they have the best top five and Ellis is going well but I still think they would struggle against Wolves or Poole with a full team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
