szkocjasid 3,035 Posted June 21, 2023 Think Poole missed a trick not giving Roynon his 3rd (& final ride) in heat 6. Once Atkins was excluded I'd keep Newman in the pits for the re-run, then use Roynon for the 2 minute exclusion. Newman can then take the rest of the reserve outings. Second thought was - I'd give Roynon his 3rd ride in place of Lawson. Lawson wasn't going to beat Masters off 15 meters! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 660 Posted June 21, 2023 9 heats in and Poole have only had one heat winner that has to be a first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 21, 2023 Not the most enjoy meeting with Oxfords heat leaders dominant out of the tapes. Poole didn't make one gate until midway through and its too little too late for us tonight. So far. Not quite over but Oxford firing well on their home track in front of very big crowd.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Not enough Pirate heat winners tonight and not the usual back up from the lower order. Cheetahs simply want it more and fair play to them. Oxford are built like Poole were last year with 3 strong heat leaders so we move on. Hope the person in the crowd requiring medical treatment is OK. .

lisa-colette 6,032 Posted June 21, 2023 Well done to Oxford, definitely the form team atm. 14 points might be a bit dodgy for the BP for us but we will see. I would have thought JJ would score more than 4 so could have been worse if they had a full team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike0310 660 Posted June 21, 2023 Got to be a bit careful what I say here because my team gets battered home and away, but in Poole terms that’s a bit of a hiding while I say that a bit tongue in cheek because I’m not used to seeing it I hope other fans from Plymouth do not come on here to gloat at that result because we have nothing to gloat about be interesting the next time they meet at Wimborne road, Oxford dark horses to win it anyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it will be interesting as JJ and Atkins tend to struggle there. But Henry is on amazing form atm so will be interesting to see what he does. Last time I think Oxford lost at Poole by 14? So any better and they will get the BP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted June 21, 2023 Well done Oxford you wanted it more than some of our riders! I said on Friday at Redcar, we are going to get found out when we start riding against Glasgow/Oxford as we have been carrying too many riders at times during the last month. I’m sure people won’t agree, but still think we are at least 1 maybe 2 changes away from potentially winning the league again. This current team I think will fall just short when it matters. We shall come back fighting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 Posted June 21, 2023 Where has Henry Atkins come from this season? Fair play never saw him as one of best 2pointers let alone best reserves in the league. He's the difference between Oxford being challengers to potential winners imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
