Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April

Recommended Posts

More brain damage speedway from the Premiership on BSN.

Belle Vue, last week. Ipswich, this week. If either were my first speedway meetings, I’d never be back.

Credit to BSN for more great coverage, but how has a race involving Sayfudtinov, Doyle, Harris and Janowski delivered so little? Jesus, this is a tough watch.

If Nicholls has the wrong helmet colour on then surely he should’ve been excluded on the 2 minutes there. Or was there more to it like Oxford don’t know the rule book when it comes to changes.

Short changed with heat 15, Scott didn't look in difficulty in heat 14. Harris and Janowski poor for Oxford.

What's up with Jenkins this season? He's been dreadful in the Championship as well.

I couldn't possibly comment on the ineptitude of the Oxford team manager....

Sounds very odd, if Tungate / Clouting spot had been left blank 3 times, then Oxford could've used Nicholls in white with Boughen in yellow, or Nicholls in white / yellow with Riss in white / yellow. Why have a 3 rider race?

Yes, but what happened to Clouting? I'm quite sure this what TWBW was asking?

so oxford could have fielded riss and nicholls in ht14 because tungate had forfeited his 3 min rides but they messed up handing the meeting to ipswich

Have to say... very disappointed with Jordan so far... he needs to improve if the Witches are to win anything this year. If a change is made. Who?

If they sacked Klindt for underperforming, does that mean they'll do the same with the team manager?

he looked good at oxford.  maybe taking time to get to grips with foxhall.  can’t help being moved to no 2, a position that rew should be commanding by now

so nicholls outperformed his average by 4.5 which is a swing of 9pts.  this might have been more had he scored in ht15 as well.  kind of makes a mockery of the sport really
