Ipswich 2023

[Col]

Finding a average for Rew on Sportowefakty took some doing, 2nd in the U24 Ekstraliga averages which doesn't really give much away

[Falcon1983]

If you look at the stats from Polish 1st division, from 7 meetings he got a rank of 1.742

Riders getting just above that Berge, Becker @ 1.762 and Pieszczek @ 1.746

Riders below that include

Lindback, Blodorn, Mads Hansen, Miedzinski, Kvech, Kim Nilsson, Riss

[tocha]

Try this:

Jason Doyle	10.32
Danny King	6.41
Erik Riss	6.00
Keynan Rew	4.00
Hans Andersen	4.93
Chris Holder	7.16
	38.82

Not bad, like the idea of Hans at no.2 or 6 around Foxhall and Monmore but maybe a look towards the future would be better, shame that Witches don't enter a side in the NDL

Keynan Rew is an absolute bargain on 4.00... witches fans should be VERY happy with that signing...

Seen him before both in Poland and Denmark and he's a very fast and stylish rider. Should put Batch at reserve pretty early into the season if both riders continue to progress, regress how they have the last few years

Just want to add that riding with Doyley will presumably do Keynan the world of good considering they rode in Poland together and in the Aussie national team together, wonder if Jason had any sway in the signing?

Keynan Rew should be capable of putting a point or two on his starting average, very powerful start to their team building from the Witches.

Ah, unranked - not enough meetings to get a regular average.  If he does as well as Basso, Witches fans will be happy!

Flappy has a 100% strike rate during this off season and he's been adamant that Noddy is at Peterborough since Day 1. 

I think you're looking for one more rider even though Ipswich fans don't particularly want this team.

Small whispers that Grajczonek maybe coming out of retirement too.

 

1. Jason Doyle 10.32

2. Troy Batchelor 5.57

3. Danny King 6.40

4. Erik Riss 6.00

5. 6.71 (Rider returning to or making their debut in Britain?) Josh Grajczonek, Kacper Woryna, Krystian Pieszczek, Krzysztof Buczkowski, Michael Jepsen Jensen, Timo Lahti, Vaclav Milik all fit.

6. Keynan Rew 4.00

7. RS

I’d be surprised if scrabble will be back - he seems pretty loved up in Oz

Sorry Flapps

No worries, you're used to disappointment in Ipswich

Why do Ipswich fans hate Batchelor? I'm actually interested to know why nobody wants him.

 

Official GSA that you can sign Batchelor on is 5.57

I'm including BP's in his 2022 stats considering he was riding out of position at 5 and having to ride with Doyle in Heats 13 & 15 most weeks.

2022 Home Average 7.20

2022 Away Average 6.33

 

Both of those figures are higher than the GSA that you can sign him on.

Violation

I know it might upset a few Lynn fans and was mentioned earlier on in the thread but i wonder if Jack Thomas is an option as Ipswich's RS next season if available, think he'd be a better option then Rowe/Kemp.

Are you serious?? 

It's not just Ipswich fans that don't appreciate him, he's not liked everywhere except Swindon. 

His arrogant attitude with awful performances isn't serving him well. 

Yet again, his average isn't a bargain, it's his level now

I think given the choice I'd probably stick with Jason Edwards for Lynn, Jack did well before breaking his wrists but there'll be question marks over his fitness initially and Jason got better and better with each home meeting.

Ideally I'd have both in the squad at seven and eight but the other will surely get snapped up whoever we choose (if either of course).

2022 H & A averages (Inc BP's) are both higher than his GSA so the value is blatantly obvious. Don't forget Troy was riding against the oppositions No.1 three times a night most weeks while riding with Doyle in Heats 13 & 15 most weeks too.

2022 Troy Won the award for most BP's at Ipswich and he also played a big role in Ipswich winning the pairs. Doyle can win all the Heats he likes but his team partner still needed to avoid last places for Ipswich to win the tournament. If he was as crap as people keep making out then Troy wouldn't have won the BP award and Ipswich wouldn't have won the pairs either.

As for his 2021 season it wasn't the case of him not trying for Sheffield, He just hates the place. Look at Fred Jakobsen for example, He's an Ekstraliga rider who looks and scores like an amateur around Sheffield too. 

Yes he'll give up when he's at the back but most riders do that now days anyway. So he's got bags of company in that department.

Batchelor didn't ride in either of the Premiership Pairs meetings I attended, I'm sure it was King at EoESg and Riss at the NSS.  I would have attended the PP meeting at Owlerton, but....

Batchelor took part in 2 of the 5 rounds (Ipswich & Wolves) and he was victorious with Doyle on both occasions.

Must admit I am at a bit of a loss as to the Batchelor hate - he had a decent enough season, he tailed off towards the end but mid season he was pretty much unbeatable at Foxhall for a few matches. As usual a couple of wets on a forum think they speak for the 1800 regulars at Foxhall!

I think his Sheffield season is best forgotten - it just didn't work out - when I attended the last Ipswich match at Owlerton he was getting hand signs and everything from grown men who should no better - one spanner who looked like he didn't even had the strength to ride a push bike was giving it the old hand job signs - sad speciman!
