Ipswich are losing because you have lost the two top riders in the league through injury and guests and the other 5 are not scoring enough to win.

It was all too easy with your top two scoring the best part of 30 points between them but this year your lucks out and that’s not down to King it’s down to the way you assembled your team with two out and out superstars.

Its tough some times when you suffer injuries one after another but its a dangerous sport, Ellis hasn’t really done much this year and Rew is still up and down but your middle and bottom parts of your team are somewhat inconsistent but were put together by Louis and Hawkins to fit with what they had left having spent most of the points allocation on Doyle and Sayfutdinov.

Going top heavy is favoured by a lot of teams but injuries have ruined your season unfortunately.

Couldn’t have said it better myself 

Too much King bashing the guy is 38 not 25 and yes lower riders will beat him and probably more and more often 

We signed him as a solid middle order 7 point a meeting man and he is doing fine in that respect 

He isn’t signed as a strong heat leader he is signed alongside Ellis to back the big two much the same way as Lidsey and Cook are at Belle Vue 

As I said look at Danny’s home scores perfectly acceptable

Probably because the team is losing, people are looking at scores closer?

Looking on the speedway updates site (thanks again) Danny's form does seem to have slipped (still getting 7's and 8's but having 6 rides to get the points).

 

His average for the 4 losses at home is about 6 whereas the previous 4 matches at home it's just over 7.5

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 

But King on his HOME track should have the beating of Brennan, and definitely should never lose to Flint.
