BacktrackBandit Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Surely Jye Etheridge has to be knocking on the Ipswich door. Erik Riss and Danyon Hume massively struggling for form at Premiership level. Etheridge has proved that he can perform at that level (after he guided Belle Vue to the title last season) and has openly admitted he wants a premiership team. Thoughts Ipswich fans? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he guided Belle Vue to the title, more realistic to say he was a part of the team that won the league! But as "some" Berwick fans on here are keen to get rid of him, I don't think he'll solves Witches problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Ipswich should swap Erik (who is clearly struggling) and Danyon with Barker and Mountain imo... I know Mountain didn't do a lot tonight, but he's an upgrade on Danyon imo and Barker would be an upgrade on a struggling Riss too. Would put Rew back at reserve also 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Connor Mountain 3. Danny King 4. Ben Barker 5. Jason Doyle 6. Keynan Rew 7. Dan Thompson Personally I would swap Doyle and King around too... Having Emil and Jason meet in heat 13 feels like a wasted chance for both of them to get a heat win... If they didn't meet at any point they have 8 opportunities to win races, but because they meet in 13 they only have 7. I also assume Barker and Mountain would be cheaper than Erik and Danyon too? Also I think Jason Edwards would be better at number 7, but I haven't really looked into how Jason and Dan performed earlier this season in the PL Edited July 17, 2023 by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather we not bother making any changes if we’re just going to bring back Barker or one of the usual suspects. As you say We should use this as a chance to try someone new or bring someone back on a low average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, after already paying big for Emil and presumably Doyle, is there really a lot of money left at Ipswich to get riders like Lahti, Lebedevs, Huckenbeck etc in (bearing in mind most of these types of riders already have their maximum number of leagues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Doyle is one of the top riders in the world you want him in heat 13 getting 5-1s with Emil, not beating a reserve in heat 12 (which King should be able to do). So while you might gain 1 point in heat 12, you'd probably drop 2 in heat 13. Now the play-offs are gone keeping Riss is gonna give him a nice low average for 2024, potentially coming back as reserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a while to cotton on to it, but definitely feels like we are keeping Riss for the remainder of the season... You never know, he might be dialled in by the time the Cup final rolls around in September, although as always, Sheffield will be a tough ask!

Baldyman Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I guess keeping Riss shows a complete lack of will to win,,, hope our sponsor doesn't decide to take his money somewhere else being the winner that he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After tonight, there's a 3 week gap until the next home match, and then another 2 weeks until the final home league match = two home meetings in the school summer holidays! Riss is more likely to be dialled in to Dial-a-Disc. Edited July 20, 2023 by Roger Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 with the Play-Offs gone they need to start thinking about getting Emil and Jason to get their averages down for next season Jason currently on 9.44 so surely that could get down to around 8.5 if he has a few shockers, Emil is currently on 9.80 so if he has a few gremlins too the club should be looknig to get that down to a sub 9 average surely, let the other rides do their own thing If the 2024 regs are the same 39 point limit with an R/S then you could build 1, Sayfutdinov 9.00 2, Z. Cook 4.84 3, Woffinden 7.03 4, B. Cook 5.17 5, Doyle 8.50 6, Rew 4.00 7, Thompson R/S Could possibly switch Woffinden for Holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
