Hume scored pretty much what Starke would of got to be fair, problem lies when King, Riss and Batch only score 5 each

Don't forget Barker. Hume scored way more than Rowe. Would have been closer with Starke as King and Barker would only have had three rides.

hawkins really has lost the plot thinking batch was a good option

To be fair, Doyle aside there wasn’t really many options. Riss possibly. Think Batch gating very well in 13 and looking set for a 5-1 with Doyle before they stuffed up their team riding may have had an influence on his decision. King didn’t gate all night and looked pretty slow.

Entertaining match due to it being close but the racing was dire, Sheffield deserved their win and I would have loved to have seen Hawkins face after heat 15.

He has undoubtedly got the best smacked arse face look when he loses.

Hume did score what Starke may have scored,but he replaced Rowe.Nicol scored 2+1 from 3 he replaced Starke so missing Starke probably did contribute to Ipswich not getting anything from the meeting.But it was a poor team effort from Ipswich when only your no1 and 7 score the bulk of your points at home.

the racing was decent for foxhall and better than was dished up at the showground a couple of weeks ago

Batchelor looks like he riding an engine with an unfamiliar set up for him, he was riding like a novice who’s bike was taking him for a ride and he had no confidence in it ,so given that you have to ask why he was used in heat 15 

As I said in an earlier post, can only think it was because he trapped superbly only 2 heats earlier in heat 13 until Doyle really didn’t do him any favours team riding wise which ended up costing them the 5-1. Only other option was Riss but he wasn’t looking great either after his opening ride win and was having machinery issues. Not really an obvious choice.

You should have seen him at Sheffield last season

The racing was dire, as it was at Peterborough a couple of weeks ago, but Peterborough does occasionally serve up some excellent racing.
