To me the problem is there is little improvement in this team, they have all reached their level, Lidsey was a bargain last season not now.

I agree he can be but there are few better gaters and that is a massive help at Premiership level.

Completely agree Wright is a very exciting rider, bit wild at times,who can beat most 3rd heat leaders, he rode at 4 at BV and expect him to ride there for Oxford, Klindt is a fantastic gater, not many outgate him, he has ridden at number 1 before so see him scoring plenty of points.

MPT has had some injuries but his level has definitely dropped in the last couple of seasons whether that is because of the injuries I don't know. Harris, Tungate and Klindt have all been decent heat leaders and I don't think their level has dropped much in recent times, they are not Emil or Doyle but this team will win meetings due to it's depth.

Just like Tony R who did similar at Arena Essex but somehow nobody seemed surprised!!

Yes average riders do but top riders only need a race or two. Just a shame he hasn't come back to ride for Poole.

Doubt any of them will have a problem adjusting to the track, Oxford isn't a tricky track, don't remember Magic having a problem with any track when he rode for Poole.

Most middle order riders have duff meetings, Harris is still a heat leader in this league and Klindt was a heat leader last time he rode here, middle order down is strong compared to other teams and thats where they will gain alot of points. Reserves win meetings and Kerr is the best reserve of teams already announced.

I know I said earlier he was on a wind up which he of course denied and then I defended the team which I dont need to do as it is a very good team.

And you have Kerr at reserve.

This team is not garbage at all, it is just built strength in depth, Janowski will be a great asset and will win alot of his races.

A decent side in my view, orion is on a wind up. It is more strength in depth, very few reserves will beat Kerr.

I would be happy to see Magic Janowski anytime I could

As a Poole fan, obviously I am a massive Janowski fan, don't what there is to dislike about him, committed, great rider, very entertaining and all round nice guy. He certainly wont throw the towel in and quit after one bend like Nicki P. at Peterborough.

This is a very good team, play offs a certainty. Janowski will be fantastic.

Looks pretty decent to me, love to see Magic back, a very exciting rider to have in the team.

Newman's form was much better in 2023, Heeps and Atkins were poor away from home and Killeen isnt good enough in my opinion, Kemp or Rowe would be better if available, Jenkins should Improve quite a bit definitely got loads of potential

Looks poor to me, Heeps is very poor away, Newman would be better and alot of expectation being placed on Killeen and I dont think he is good enough although Boughen clearly is and Atkins will struggle at second string in my opinion.

Ok well Ellis said he had a few offers.

I would agree, at least MPT tries, not sure Ellis always does and Ipswich track suits him better so a good fit for them.

I can fully understand your feelings and I hope he fails too, Peterborough was one of the great racetracks and will be missed massively but it looks a cracking team he has put together.

play off final contenders definitely as long as they all stay fit, MPT is the only one that is a bit iffy, i expect they offered Ellis a place but Ipswich got him.

And Wojdylo. Title challengers in my opinion.

You may not speak for all Panthers fans though

Tobi is bound to put a few on the gate maybe even a few Panthers fans despite their misgivings.
