Think some Belle Vue fans are making up excuses if they lose to a weakened Ipswich team. Ipswich are the underdogs after losing Doyle. We have had to replace him with a riser almost 2.5 under his average, whereas they are using RR and one of his rides is taken by a higher average rider.

It’s the same old guff you know it’s coming a Mile off.

I think Brennan and Blodorn could be key for us keeping it close, both have been a bit more hit and miss this season as can happen with young riders. I would expect Dan to be a lot better than his 4 points on our last visit, Doyle a big miss be interesting to see if the play off version of Harris turns up, will have to have some meeting to match Jason. I think Ipswich take the win, by how many could depend on Tom and Norick, King seems to be riding well at the moment, Riss and Rew could be key for Ipswich.

Gotta feel for the Witches (or any team losing riders for the play offs) as besides someone like Lambert or Laguta there isn’t a like for like replacement.

Bomber sadly is a poor replacement even tho he will either be a match winner or score 3.

The Aces again have the luck with them as missing Wright probably strengthens them a little.

Still prefer to see 7 man teams tho. 

There is absolutely no chance Belle Vue are stronger without Wright, it's not even up for debate, we are weaker without a doubt, Home and Away.

Lidsey will more than likely ride heat 8 which is always handy… Lemon may choose to use Lidsey in both heats 12 & 14 instead though but that’s less likely 

I wouldn't use Lidsey in heat 8, against Hume, Smith & Bailey is a waste. 
I'd use him in heat 5 against King & Riss or Heat 11 against Harris & Rew.

Play off Harris worries me. He will love the conditions tonight and may not score as much as a fit Doyle but will score the same as a half fit Doyle. 
 

if we can keep it within 10 I’ll be happy 

Don’t worry, play.off Harris only got 1 point for us at Monmore in 2017.

Makes a lot of sense. You put him in with a strong chance of coming away with three points. Three points he’s less likely to pick up against King or Harris.

Yes but for example Brennan can beat Smith and Hume in heat 8.
