Oxford only have one away match left to finish in a + position & overtake Redcar. Doing that would push Edinburgh into a - position. Also can't see Scunthorpe picking up many away points. Home wins should be enough for Redcar.
Whoever finishes 1st, 2nd & 3rd means nothing. It's all about avoiding 4th place. In a super heat a 5-4 is as valuable as a 7-2.
Never been a fan of this scoring system.
While Bickley might score a point or two more than McGurk, think Wright would score well below guests have been scoring for Kennett. Is it worth having a 7 man team that's weaker than their current 6 man team?
If Pearson was a Birmingham asset I would agree with you, but as he belongs to Belle Vue I'd drop him if it makes you stronger.
Even if he stays & improves there's nothing to stop him leaving in 2023 for Poole or Glasgow!
Riders who don't have a team CAN'T guest for others, which makes no sense to me. But hey that's British Speedway for you!
Edit: at first I thought you meant shared around as guests, or do you mean as permanent signings?
Killeen scored what I expected tonight (0 points) you can't compare racing against a very weak (4 reserves) NL side to Glasgow possibly the most solid Champ side.
Don't know how long Monarchs injured riders are out for, but Wright & Bickley would fit to replace Fredriksen & Sarjeant!

Plymouth well above the points limit (43.00) so Starke for Kennett only leaves 3.12 available to replace McGurk. Better sticking with guests for Kennett imo
Sign Paul Starke for James Pearson & the team looks a lot stronger!
