Thompson was my rider of the night again, that guy is really coming on strong, having 5-1s with Emil and Doyle is great to see! Expand He looked better and quicker on Jenkins bike than he did his own! 😂 Probably just goes to show it’s not the machine, but the rider.

But it always seems it’s far too dry from heat one. Maybe they can’t get on the track early due to the greyhound Expand Someone mentioned to me that Oxford spent a lot of the afternoon practising - perhaps that was why there was not enough attention and it wasn't in decent condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem very bitter for some bizarre reason.

He showed that tonight more points in 1 meeting than in a whole season with Ippo, almost half the Oxford score. As far as the Witches are concerned a win is a win & it bodes well so far 2 away wins without all firing. Expand Pleased to see him doing well / he had a tough last season at Ipswich good start to the league campaign for the Witches anyway!

Expand The point I was making was that your number one has to do far better than that at home. He is theoretically your best/most reliable rider. Riss scoring 20 is irrelevant because on any other night those points would be more evenly distributed across the team. To have a chance in this league an out and out No.1 is essential. Fact. If you have two 8 point plus riders, you have a chance in the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that I have upset you on previous posts and it appears that you can’t let go. I’ll move on, but can’t promise that your feathers won’t be ruffled again. All of my comments are tongue in cheek and it’s quite sad that you find this so upsetting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich may lose the odd away meeting on an off night but it's a mountain to climb for any team to put up 91+ Points against them over two legs.
