They've got 6 experienced riders on British tracks who can all hit the ground running. A couple of other clubs will be relying on newcomers / returning riders to get it right from the get go and like we saw with Janowski in 2024 it can take a long time to get back into the groove on our tracks. Expand True...but by the time the play offs come along, all the other clubs will be up to speed and besides that, they certainly wont be able to match Ipswich ! (obviously, depending on injuries etc...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's a football nickname (coined by Brian Clough I think) for a player who goes to pieces in the box. Doesn't really work in speedway as no one is "in the box" to make the joke work.

Thatโs got me wondering what Cloughie would have been like as a speedway team manager. I can see him walking around the pits in that green sweatshirt wagging his finger at under performing riders and of course in front of the refereeโs box!

Paid 27 in the semi v Ipswich was decent imo. Sheffield would give their right arm to have had that kind of scoring in the PO semi. 2022, the injury jinx struck him. 20 points in the 2018 semi wasnโt to shabby when we were down to just 4 fit Aces. He top scored in the 1st leg in 2017 before missing the 2nd leg through injury, costing us the tie due to our usual play off injury jinx. He was second top scorer in the home leg of the final during the 2016 โringerโ year but was poor in the gate โnโ go 1st leg, as were the rest.
