Nicholls absent from Eurosport in Prague yesterday. Was it temporary or permanent?

He's been demoted to the SGPVerse... that nobody can get

I'm sure Chris and Ritchie have been working overtime this weekend to get in Doyley's replacement, maybe we will find out more tonight as we are off to Birmingham for another away trip.

Sadly so many names linked, but none of us know what they are thinking.

My only gripe at the moment is we have had no updates on Adam's injury and how long he is out for.

if it is more than 4 weeks, then with only 1 Monday meeting in that time, maybe Scotty could come in for him on a 28 day injury replacement as his Eurosport commitments wont be affected that much??

Or someone like Fredrik Jakobsen?  He has shown a liking for Foxhall in the past and we have 4 home meetings this month...

Problem is if Adam comes back to quickly will the shoulder issue he has keep reacuring, he had the same issue pre season in Oz unless it was the other shoulder, we all remember the problems Doyle had with his shoulders keep dislocating until he had surgery to finally sort it out properly.

Ipswich have been adept at covering Jason in recent fixtures so there’s no reason why they cannot continue doing so. Sure their form will drop but they aren’t going to move from 1st to 5th in 11 weeks. With the rules reverting to those used in 2022 they can then make a signing outside the transfer window due to “long term injury’. Another option is to use a quality rider from the opposition with an assessed average. It’s against the rules but was allowed last year so it’s worth considering.

While Ipswich will be weakened without Doyle, there's no need to panic until the play-offs, that's when you need to be at full strength. Maybe try Robert Lambert just before the transfer cut-off? Up till then they ain't gonna drop out of the top 4 surely?

Doyle out for the season then.  Who can the Ipswich management persuade to come over for the 2nd half of the season?

Id like to see Anders Thomsen back in UK speedway
