scoobydoo Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Got to admire the enthusiasm and excitement shown by Witches fans before the season starts just a pity it normally fades to doom and gloom after around 6 matches into the season.

Opening night is always a bit of a lottery,, and very often just a gating contest. I don't have a clue on which way this will go,, so will say draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Is there a more difficult team to read this year than Ipswich? Don’t think there is based on a fair few who have comfortably lower averages than they’ve had previously. There’s those (one in particular who never seems to tire of telling us all how cr@p Ipswich look) who say Ipswich look poor, who are banking on those riders NOT moving their averages up northwards to what they’ve previously proved capable of, and others who rate the team who are banking on said riders doing just that and improving them. Fact is, none of us can be confident either way which makes the team this year very difficult to predict. Batchelor was just shy of a 9 point average as recent as 2019, he’s now 5 and a half. Riss has consistently been around 6-6 and a half, he’s now on a 5, and Heeps who notched 6.30 in his only top flight season with us in 2019 who is now under 5! Are they all on a permanent slide in to oblivion? Or did they all just have really bad season’s for one reason or another? As I said, nobody can be totally confident either way. If Riss and Heeps get back on par to previous figures, and Batchelor puts a point and a half back on his, then it’s definitely a play off team. Continue where they left off last season then it’s a spoon contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I think any team with Jason Doyle in will always be nearer the play offs than the bottom... However, just realised that in this league being fifth gets you equidistant from both... So maybe not a great rule of thumb.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I think we will defo do enough to at least come 4th,, so we are a play off team,,, as from there who knows,,, but I think Sheffield look by far the most complete team,,, but injuries will play a part in where the silverware ends up.

I dare say things will be clearer after a month or two, I seem to recall Ipswich started like trains last year but then just ran out of puff. Interesting to see people writing off the Panthers yet again and saying how good Sheffield are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the draw: Witches 1 point, Stars 2 points Super Heat: both KL riders excluded, Witches 7-0, gaining 3 points to Stars' 0. Stupid new rule producing artificial results for no reason other than they think it will be exciting. Of course, drawn matches have always been so dull that it's important to jizz them up with an artificial ending ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
