TTT Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Losing Morris has ended Leicester's season, Batchelor is a massive downgrade especially around BP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all riders chip in we have the balance right in the team but Morris really has derailed things, I'm unspeakably angry when I think about it, I'd quite happily de-bag and radish him on behalf of the SCB I think we'll be in the play offs but any chance we had of upsetting in the final has faded away somewhat. I think had Riss been fit Ipswich would have been far closer to the play offs, may be a bit too late now, relying on others slipping up as well is never easy. Thursday V Sheffield is a MUST win for you - otherwise you may need to start looking over your shoulder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harris - 2, 2, 2, 2, 1 = 9 Yet he still top scored for the Lions. Really impressed with Dan Thompson tonight , no doubt he enjoyed every point in his Lions kevlars. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 It was a decent watch on TV. Thompson certainly showed well against the club that dropped him. The one thing that stood out for me was how appalling the Witches were at team riding. Not once did an Ipswich rider give a hoot where his partner was. Sedgman beats Sayfutdinov then doesn't score another point all night. Ipswich really need to replace Riss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not to say I don't enjoy watching him ride, he's brilliant ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 I really do wonder about some speedway fans,,,, why would you drop Riss now,, after we wasted all this time whilst falling out of play off contention. His average must be dropping like a stone,,, so surely you keep him on the team with his average keeping on going down for next year. We ain't gonna win jack all this year,, as per normal,, so use it to our advantage for next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling started over 6 and is now under 5 due to this season under 3 The option to try a youngster from abroad like Lynn and Boro has sailed with the last set of averages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may only have one suit for the season. They’re not cheap and sponsors will want their sponsorship shown, particularly in a TV meeting. 10 hours ago, Beowulf said: Bomber is now officially "past it". It comes to every rider eventually, sadly. Not vintage Bomber but wouldn’t say he’s past it. Thompson was the only rider to beat him last night that would have been a major upset when looking at the heats on paper. As TV meetings go it was entertaining but as always overproduced. One minute races don’t need so many cuts and different camera angles. Save the fancy shots and helmet cam for replays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Wow, well I enjoyed that meeting , what might have been if this was earlier in the season. There's several X's of Dan last night, am so pleased for him and his lovely family to at last see this progress he's made in last couple of weeks, thought I'd post this one. Have to say it's a pleasure watching Emil race this year, hopefully there's going to be somewaywe can keephim and Doyley next season.

Coventry_Bee Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Doyle and Emil were a class apart and I must say the view you get at Leicester is so good, so close to the action. Bomber is far from past it, the track prep just doesn’t suit him and if the meeting was up for grabs i honestly think he’d have been much harden on Dan, but take nothing away from a great ride but bomber was a little too fair. great meeting but Leicester need to sort out morris situation fast as Troy isn’t the answer.

King once, which could be classed as a 50-50 heat. Thompson was the only real surprise. It’s important to look beyond just the numbers sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
