Bash Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I suppose the only lucky thing about that is we only have 5 league meetings in those six weeks, but it's going to be hard to find decent guests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Don’t know what or who the answer is but we really need a dependable no.5 when the business end of the season is reached. doyle can’t do it all alone at the top end. maybe Chris Louis needs to ask guy for an engine for Troy as well, seems to have helped Danny Edited June 24, 2022 by 89buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Troy never the same rider if ridden the night before..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s also weight behind the theory that he starts meetings well (particularly in the championship) and then seems to completely fizzle out in the later stages of meetings. Does he have a fitness issue? Although he did do the business with Doyle in heat 15 for us against Wolves to pinch the points. I still think he was a good signing personally. People forget he was signed as a 5 pointer and he’s good value for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbend Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) We might be near the top of the table but changes are needed already.... atleast 2 changes; Klindt 7.43 or Jenson 7.84 and Summers 4.01 in.... 2 out take your pick. I know who I would drop. Edited June 27, 2022 by 2ndbend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADRIAN Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Batch wow what a show you put on . How long can they carry this guy. Still glad he thinks it ok to laugh and joke in the pits grr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted June 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Knives out for Batch again I see. His average is 6.27 for this season, what were people expecting? He started the season as a five and a half pointer, if people thought he was suddenly going to jump to being an 8 pointer again then you’re deluded. He’s doing his job, although he was dreadful last night granted. The problem is with this team and this is a hill I’m going to die on, is that it was built over 2 points under the limit which meant we were always going to carry a rider in the 1-5 which shouldn’t have happened. I like Starke, but he’s a reserve and has never sustained any kind of form in the main body. But when you then sign a Heeps/Barker instead of a 7 pointer you’re always going to have two riders swapping places at reserve all season with one of them then struggling in the main body. With Doyle in the side this was the year we should have put our title drought to bed, we still might! But we should have given ourselves a better chance than we have.

Ipswich currently using their #8, i.e. Hume (as at 23/06 Green Sheets, Rowe still named as Rising Star #7). Guest allowed for #6, but can only be a Rising Star (with a lower average), or a Championship rider who is not doing the Hokey Cokey - although I can't see that caveat in the Regs, but Hawkins said, so it must be true Edited June 28, 2022 by Roger Jacobs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
