So anyone thinking of putting money on Ipswich is silly.

Kurtz and Bewley are fantastic riders and I would say on a par with Doyle and Emil for sure ….. but to say they are more reliable is you talking out of your ass like you do all the time …… why don’t you do us all a favour and eff off 

[Hodgy]

That’s definitely the team to beat. Injury free they will win at a canter. As they ‘might’ have done last season.

It’s a shame for everyone else that Doyle and Emil have no interest in riding for any other team. Keep dreaming  Ipswich ain’t going nowhere but to the top step. Just hope we nail Sheffield in every match we meet them in. 

It’s taken Ipswich years to pin Doyle down to Foxhall as for Emil Louis saw an opportunity & went over time to get his signature over the line. Question is was there any other competition for Emils signature prior to 2023 or was it only Louis who was prepared to fight to secure him.

Louis has certainly learned a lot over the past few years not that long ago our number one was a out of retirement Crump.

Aces 3 heat leaders more than capable against Ipswich as for 2nd strings we will have to see who Aces get Rew or Cook at number 4 ? against Ellis ? boldorn/king all should score well at home  !!away is the test for them all !! reserves zischke is a unkown qauntity but looks the part mulford needs to inprove but we could yet get cairnes come june ? thompson/jenkins will do there job !! can ipswich overcome their fear of NSS ?? time will tell all in all both teams equal for me it comes down to who wants it more interesting season ahead bound to be full of twists & turns no one can predict what will unfold ? form says Aces/ Witches final but Sheffield could have say in it too ?? bookies had sheffield favs last year that didn't work out !!

Well be prepared to stand corrected. Doyle had signed for Lynn in 2022 before Louis blew them out of the water with what he was prepared to pay for Jason

You eulogise a rider who posted pictures of himself out for a run the day he’d pulled out of a uk meeting injured but question the reliability of Emil and Doyley?
 

🤡 doesn’t even scratch the surface with your posts on here

Yup, he also alluded to other clubs wanting him for next year but it was a ‘no brainer’ to stay at Ipswich. I’ll stand by my correction of being right

These riders won't all be in the Aces team though, if Belle Vue have Bewley / Kurtz / Lidsey as heat leaders, they can't have Cook as a second string, unless there's no Blodorn.

As a neutral, Doyle & Sayfutdinov best top 2 and I fancy the Witches as having stronger second strings. Also Witches have the better RS, even if Cairns signs.

I expect Belle Vue to make the top 4, but Witches to top the qualifiers fairly easily. But over 2 legs in the play-offs anything can happen.

Ben Cook has signed for Lynn anyway

Ben Cook will be replaced at Belle Vue by either his brother Zach or Keynan... they’re the 2 big rumours

[Col]

If, and it's a big if, that team stays injury free they'll be the team to beat. Hope Rew isn't lost to British League.

You're misreading his post.    He's suggesting the BV No.4 of either Zach Cook/Keynan Rew being a match for Adam Ellis.

I'm sorry to say this but it still makes Witches barely a 3 man team with Brennan added to the equation.  Dan is gonna be the key to the team though as he has mix it up if any big boys get injured ( we all know it's gonna happen) 

Odd take? I'm not sure if you've noticed but you can't have 5 heatleaders! King and Ellis are minimum 6 pointers but certainly have the potential to add a bit more...and the reserves combined match up to every other perceived line ups....

Is it? I’d say the odds are extremely remote that the exact same thing will happen next year that happened this, let alone (we all know it’s gonna happen). Equal chance of injuries happening to every other club in the league.

Emil is usually a safe rider, he doesnt crash often, Doyle is more likely to crash but no more likely than most other heat leaders I would say also he is a great gater which helps.

Maybe now he wouldn’t go anywhere else, but my point still stands that he agreed to join Lynn before Ipswich😁

It’s more the “hope” they get injured rather than thinking they will because they know their club has no chance without it. “Nobody likes to see riders get injured” will be a quick reply on here, lol bullish!t. It’s like the crocodile tears of posters coming on here when Doyle, and then Emil crashed, all sharing their caring sympathies whilst secretly fist pumping behind their keyboards because the team that was running away with it were suddenly out of the picture!! Let’s not pretend otherwise. 
 

You also have to laugh at those desperately analysing this Ipswich team with a magnifying glass trying in vain to find a chink somewhere in an obviously ridiculously good side because they want to believe their team will be just as good.

Added to the rule change which stopped Ipswich from using someone like Robert Lambert as a late replacement for a long term injury.
