They will miss Wright but Lidsey is in great form and Brennan is good at his home track so not as bad as losing Doyle in my opinion. I guess we will only know by the end of this week. However, I think we can all agree that 3 out of the 4 playoff teams are weakened by injuries which is a shame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Despite their own injury problems, the Aces will be desperate for this meeting to go ahead, despite the apparent uphill battle against the weather. An opportunity to take on an Ipswich side without Doyle is there to be exploited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing their top 2, reminds me of 2017 losing Freddie and Jacob in the semi. Yep. Hope Wolves win the league now that Ipswich and Sheffield are toast, Be good for them to have a perfect send off like Swindon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be good for about 8 points judging on previous scores so not that bad and if track is wet maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For goodness sake, yes we're up against it, so what let's all try to send positive vibes not negative ones all the time. If the meeting goes ahead I'll be watching on TV, probably with everything crossed but until the 2nd legs finished I'll keep the faith as I hope all Witches supporters will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say slight favourites over Ipswich with Doyle out. If we get to the final depends on who it is, and if it's Sheffield who their guests are.

So it can be made up... And if you cannot find an "open goal"?... Then the "in the interest of Speedway" card is played.. Seem barmy trying to cobble everything else together when you can just use that "catch all" as the only regulation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a lot when the best Ipswich can get to replace a 9.21 rider is Harris on 6.87. In the best interests for speedway, Ipswich should be allowed to use Robert Lambert. I'm sure Steady will be fighting to be allowed to have Jack Holder back. Silly comments suggesting any team is in the final or out of contention already. Certainly 3 clubs are weakened with injuries, but the remaining riders & guests won't make it easy for the opposition. I think Belle Vue & Wolves are favourites for the final, but they're far from certainties. Edited September 17, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see Sheffield beating Wolves, only one heat leader and he hates Monmore, I suspect they must have already booked Fricke as he isnt riding for Ipswich tonight. As Harris is the guest tonight not sure if he would be allowed to guest for Sheffield so maybe have to use Lawson or Tarasenko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers99 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 All comes down to Brennan and Cook for me, Ben has been on fire recently so if he carries on and Brennan avoids a mare, I can see 53-37, despite an Emil 18 point max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
