Have to agree with you… Birmingham showed plenty of fight there and I hope their fans repay Nigel tolleys efforts by turning up in their droves. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So are Birmingham ... with the team that they had, no way should Oxford have lost this, but with a No.1 who scored, the Brummies should have won instead! Those who forcast 60-30 must be ashamed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted March 14 That’s a decent result for Birmingham. Tungate’s night seemed to have mirrored what happened plenty of times for Ipswich over the years up & down & Magic not the unbeatable number one many were predicting. in all fairness I think it’s going to be a very tight league this year.

But as Flint won his last race (8) I can understand why he was left in. Some team managers are more ruthless than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,823 Posted March 14 When the ‘experts’ predict a 60-30 type score. :-) Well done to the Brummies taking it to a last heat decider. Milik can only get better as well. Good result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted March 15 Fair play to Brum. They took the home team to the final heat despite having to carry their ‘No.1’. Early days, but if this what the Brummies can deliver, the league will be all the better for it. The closer the scores of course, the more interesting the return fixture becomes with regard to the bonus point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted March 15 Thought Kilby/Schlein did a great job with the livestream! Thought the track was rideable, but not raceable (may be the last couple of heats)....unless you're 'Bomber'...who can race on anything ! I for one predicted a heavy loss for B'ham (like most others)....not sure what the need is for admitting that, when the posts are there for all to read? May be we should all be patting szkocjasid on the back for getting closer with his prediction? Going forward....if a reserve cant replace a reserve in Heat 8....then B'ham would be better off having Cook at No.7 (IMO) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
