The likes of Edwards, Jenkins and Gilkes. I don’t know if they’re already destined for elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know if they’re already destined for elsewhere. Edwards is on a 2 year deal at Redcar I think. Would expect Jenkins to stay at Oxford especially if they are keeping Boughen and Killeen at reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know if they’re already destined for elsewhere. Gilkes definitely one I'd be thinking of. Had never seen the place prior to u21 final and he was excellent that day. Seems to get his fair share of injuries though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 Posted October 21, 2023 With the loss of 4 riders and assuming Bomber, Lee and Ace remain we need riders that can score well at Ashfield and who are also likely to improve. Winning our home matches has to be the priority. So to me Connor Bailey is a no brainer. Thereafter who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harris, Pickering, Zische, Hume, Borke, Complin, Pijper. 37.96 (maybe too many can run a bit hot and cold though) Assuming you're keeping Bomber ,Lee and Ace no idea if these will fit Worral,Borke,Hume and Thompson possibly they're over the limit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Lee and bomber are good characters to have around the pits and for interaction with the fans too. Was reminiscent of the never to be forgotten Danny ayres in the Oxford and Poole meetings with Lee 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if there had been a rider who could've come in mid season for Lee and done better - which there wasn't - it would've been a terrible move because he was so good at getting the crowd and the kids hyped up. Not enough riders work the crowd, but he's brilliant. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me Connor would be good at home but his away form lets him down most of the time he has not put much on his ave this year think it’s just under a point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will be brilliant at home, has an excellent style and at times was very very fast. With Bomber hopefully signed he'll also get proper advice. Remember if its a 38 point limit I don't think there will be many away wins. Indeed the way things are you could win the league by just winning your home matches.
