Cue Ball Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Don’t want to jinx things… but Sheffield should have a very sizeable lead to take to Ipswich looking at those teams. Lidsey was not good the other night for BV and whilst Brennan did well guesting for us the other week, he’s no Emil. Presume that we have booked Harris to prevent him being used against us!! Shame as for the cup final (any final) you want to see the best of the best, but with Ipswich decimated at present that is definitely not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 You will win this on the first leg alone - Lidsey this season hasn't been great at Owlerton, and whilst Tom always gives it a go I cant see beyond say 55+ for Sheffield - shame as its a dead rubber!

Bash Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 With those lineups it’s Sheffield’s cup to lose. Why have we got Lidsey, surely Bewley would’ve been better! Or have Poland stopped him guesting as well as Lindgren. I gather it will be Scott instead of Jaimon for the second leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted August 30 Author Report Share Posted August 30 Supporting the boys is always key so I'll be at Foxhall (Can't make Sheffield as I'll be in Poland). The fact is, even with any top 5 SGP rider it just isn't the same winning anything this year, I want to celebrate with Emil and Doyle holding any trophy. Plus, any top 5 rider in the SGP probably couldn't do as well as Emil or Doyle in this league either, and I include the Polish Ace in that category. Good luck to all teams in the Cup and Playoffs!

tellboy Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 I think Ipswich can get 41,42 points and make the 2nd leg interesting.Sheffield were very ordinary last night at Lynn.Harris isn't in the form of his life.Think Ipswich are better at reserve too.If Ipswich can get their gating gloves on,who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumsie Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Ipswich couldn't beat an egg at the moment, let alone Sheffield over two legs. Bit like their football team. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Ippo won't win another meeting this season, You cant sink any lower than losing to a make shift Birmingham side at Home that features R/R, Voulas and Z. Cook in the engine room. King's gone missing again when he needed to step up and be a captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifesto Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Lidsey and Brennan have had some good meetings at Owlerton and also some stinkers could be the key riders. Horrible to be relying on that many guests but I’m guessing Ipswich fans just want to see it close. Ellis 15 point max incoming? lol 52-38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumsie Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Ipswich failed to defend a healthy lead in the second leg at Sheffield last year with Doyle and Emil in the team. This final will be over after the first leg imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 This is definitely Sheffield’s to lose now. A month ago we had a great chance of defending a trophy something that hasn’t happened since the 1970s I believe. Now we don’t look like winning a meeting.
