Sheffield Tigers vs Ipswich Witches (playoff final 2nd leg) 05/10/23


Recommended Posts

Hopefully Doyle is okay after being taken to hospital after the meeting… hopefully just getting checked out! 
Does anyone think Sheffield will pull it back and win?

Can be done - 2 or 3 5-1s in the first five races and anything is possible.

the question is is are Sheffield stronger with the guests or not - in my view Tobias and Tai are probably a stronger combo than Lambert and Harris so the Tigwrs are possibly a bit weaker!

Harris could be the decider on his day we know how good he can be - he has the potential to score 12+ and has Pickering who is another rider I like very much. 
 

hoping the weather holds anyway - as I said on the Ipswich thread let’s just hope there are no bottom lips out from the losers whichever  team it is!

We have left ourselves a mountain to climb, and it is certainly advantage Ipswich.

But

Stranger things have happened, and if we can get off to a good start who knows he might just pull it off.

I see people speculating that Jason Doyle may be missing due to injury.

I would be very surprised if does miss the meeting, love him or loath him Jason Doyle is one of the bravest riders out there, my guess is he will be riding.

The first 5 heats are likely to decide where this is headed

If the Witches can be no more than 4 down at that point they should hold on. If the Tiggers have pulled back 8-10 then it's game on

Ipswich have rode away at Sheffield 3 times this season once in the Cup and twice in the League and didn't score less than 39 in all 3 matches, hopefully the trend will continue this Thursday.

The two 39s in the league both included tactical rides for Emil in heat 9 ending in a 5-1 and a 4-2 plus there was a last heat 5-1 for the Witches in the first meeting when the result was already sorted.

Tigers need to score 15-9 in each block of four races then see what happens in 13'14 and 15 but that heat 12 last night was a big blow.

As with the semi final at Sheffield, bad weather is a distinct possibility will they call it off early and reschedule or hang on til  the last minute. 
my worry is that they go ahead, and if more rain falls and get it called off after ten heats,

To get a result would they then go to the score at foxhall after ten heats and compare them and use that as a final aggregate score based on that ?

34 - 26 in favour of the witches after heat ten,  only an 8 point lead

Sheffield's team ruined by injuries is a shame to see. A fully fit side, you would of expected them to win this over two legs.

Think Danny King has been a big key to Ippos success late on, Doyle and Emil have been racking up points for fun all season where as King wasn't . He has been flying for them lately.

Still, a shame to see injuries ruin any chance of a competitive final.

The likes of Lambert mouthing off on camera do nothing good for the sport to any newcomer who may of tuned in to watch the final. Fancy turning your back on your home league for the majority of the season then coming back for a few quid at the end of the season and slagging the tracks on live TV. Kn0bend.
