Wouldn’t say that’s damaging to them personally. I would say that is a bonus, Douglas isn't at his best at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagon Returns No Douglas on Monday due to struggling with burn on his Arm R/R to be used. This makes them stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Think Douglas missing isn't that bad for us. Everyone can take a ride basically including max fricke. Lawson and masters will suitably cover for dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Douglas has been poor at Foxhall this year and with Kerr for Cook makes Leicester a lot stronger now. All 3 of Ipswichs replacements are weaker. Is Anders Rowe not able to replace Jenkins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerfulPierre Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Not an exact science I know, but looking at the Lions performance over the 3 fixtures held at Ippo this season, Douglas scored 18 points, therefore averaging 6 per match. Fricke 21 points: average 7 per match; Lawson 37 points: average 12.33 per match; Masters 19 points: average 6.33 per match; Becker 20 points: average 6.66 per match. Add the 4 averages together total = 32.32 points and divided by the 4 riders and you get just over 8 points. If the 4 r/r's ride to their potential, the loss of Douglas makes the Lions a little stronger. I know, I've got too much time on my hands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people now realise that building a team around two big hitters is a disaster if both get injured at the same time. And of course, building a team around two big hitters and both of the getting injured at the same time happens every time ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 (edited) With so many guests, it will be like a seven team tournament......

TTT Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 I think Ipswich can turn Leicester over in the Semi-Final if they've got good guests booked for the second leg. Dan Thompson should pile in the points over two legs at two tracks he goes very well at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 (edited) 31 minutes ago, AceBelle said: Certainly got a fighting chance? Leicester are the form horse but R/R is always a gamble because it relies on everyone performing on the night, I see Ipswich's reserves comfortably outscoring Leicester's reserves going by recent form of all four riders involved so it's massive pressure on Fricke, Lawson, Becker and Masters, If one of those has a bad night then Ipswich could be looking at a Double digit lead. Ipswich will need proper Guests in the second leg though because R/R won't cut it. Douggie missed a Polish play-off meeting yesterday so his injury must be quite serious to a point where he didn't feel like he could risk it for the big Polish Zloty (£), Monday to Thursday is a quick turnaround to find fitness.

orion Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 The normal suspects going on about Guests .. What do they want teams to do when this happens .. No doubt bring Juniors riders in for heat leaders ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
