Tactical Joker Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) Lindgren was always going to win heat 15, he was a class apart. So Witches just had to avoid a last place. Tough ask though with Brennan ending up with 14+3. Kinda sums up the second half of the season. Edited August 29 by Tactical Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Danny King should score 7 a meeting that’s what his position in the team is Doyle and Emil 13… Ellis and King 7 … Dan T and Rew 5 and Jenkins 3….. that’s 53 points a meeting I’m an Ipswich fan and yes sometimes it’s frustrating seeing Danny struggle but since back from injury he has scored 7 twice … 8… 9 twice and 10 and 12……. Good scores I would say at home or do some of our fans expect him to match Doyle and Emil Our team is built top heavy … but built superbly well that we have the next 2 riders in Ellis and King who regularly get 7 or more to support the top 2 Since losing Emil it seems King is a scapegoat for us losing … he isn’t going to get 10-12 most weeks he isn’t that level 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Well done the Brummies on an away win. Gotta feel for the Witches fans as they can’t get a win anywhere and are bang out of form carrying too many injuries. Every other team will be fighting for top position to face them in the PO’s.

For a guy who has spent the bulk of his career at Ipswich he is beaten by riders around Ipswich who he should be comfortably getting the better of. He gets passed far to easily & does seem to ride the lines that don’t work. As the skipper he can’t team ride to save his life either blocks his teammates lines or just clears off out front sometimes even passing he own partner. when the chips are down be that a single heat or meetings like the ones against Sheffield, or both meetings against Birmingham this week he just goes missing. I think he has genuinely gone stale at Ipswich & needs a move to revitalise his career as much as Ipswich needs the change too. We need someone with some more improvement in them next year. His demeanour on the TV against Sheffield wasn’t skipper material he looked beaten & downtrodden. We need our own Sam Morsy to skipper the Witches & that man in Doyle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie there are times when i feel he should and could do better but overall he isnt the reason why things have gone wrong in 2024 Edited August 30 by GeneralMelchett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 (edited) anyway - Batch for 2025 anyone?😃 I'd also welcome Brennan at Foxhall always seems to do well anyway to find positives - good showing from Dan T who hasnt enjoyed the best of Augusts for the Witches 2 wins good to see and Keynan and Jordan continuie to outscore their reserve counterparts Edited August 30 by GeneralMelchett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one rider is upwardly mobile, the other is heading in the other direction. Brennan will be hot property this winter. He’s been booked by Ipswich to cover all remaining cup and play off meetings for Ipswich. This was one of the better meetings of late. Some good racing at times on an excellently prepared track. Another warm day so wasn’t easy so well done Bob and the track staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Hopefully last night showed the changing of the guards and Brennan replaces King next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Thought Troy was excellent last night btw. Very unlike him but he made a couple of poor gates which is normally a strength, but he was trying all sorts of lines bomber style to catch people in front. Great effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
