I've read many commenting on Ipswich being unlucky losing Thomas, but there were rising stars just as strong as him available (Kemp, Rowe) but for whatever reason they chose to go elsewhere. That's when I'll no longer call it bad luck, but poor team building.

It’s still bad luck because they chose Jack Thomas and lost him before a wheel was turned. That doesn’t change, it remains unlucky. 
 

I agree on the subsequent choices to replace him though, awful.

Watching Riss last night was a worry… how long will he be at 6.14 in the averages? Do Ipswich need to cash in and replace him soon so they have more to play with? Although realise there probably isn’t a lot out there…

Yeah BSN is way better then Eurosport and this is only their second full season running whereas Eurosport have been doing it yrs, chalk and cheese 

Certainly is. BSN is run by speedway fans which makes a big difference. I emailed Eurosport the other week. Was disappointed they weren't showing the German GP live and mentioned some points about their Premiership coverage. Probably a waste of an email but hopefully if more people get in touch they may take notice.

Yeah it don't work without a side kick and he struggles on his own, and has the odd bit of brain fade now and then like last night when he called Jason Sedgmen Jason Lyons during a heat, he quickly corrected himself tho tbf 

They need to get a main commentator in, Kelvin is a great analyst but is not quite good enough to be the main man. 

Also, whenever they throw down to the pits for an interview nothings ready and Abi interviewed Laguta who's English wasn't great and has interviewed someone who's going out in the next heat before!

Poole also lost Thomas but signed up Rowe straight away. And he's increased his average riding at 2.!!

Pleased to see it as well - it was in my view wrong he didnt get a starting place in either league - waits for the usual waffle and piffle

Rowe is one of the two best RS's in the league on paper, he will score more than Edwards home and away... and will Lambert score more than Jakobsen had done this season? Definitely imo

Ipswich should of offered him a slot rather them swapping between the Thompson twins

Don't agree with that, he should be better than Edwards but in my opinion there are a few better than Rowe.

Flint, Rowe, Gilkes, Jenkins, D.Thompson, J.Thompson, Mulford... I'd have them in that order tbh
