Yes he's a rider who is awesome in Poland & average in Britain.

I bet most teams would love to add an average rider like that to their team...😃

5. Michael Jepsen Jensen - 2, 3, 3, 2, 3 = 13

Before today MJJ had a 6.40 average. For a rider who's amongst the best in Poland, I'd call that decidedly average form in Britain.

At Oxford he's shown what he can do when on form, Birmingham will be delighted if he can do that every match.

Oxford should have won the first match by more (Cook only given 4 rides) so if they don't get the bonus point TM to blame.

I think they should be able to win the second leg too, but that may depend on Schroeck as much as the riders.

Not sure where Birmingham go from here.

They desperately need Zagar back for the next match.

Yes they do but even tonight zagar’s rides were adequately covered by paco, was an improved performance from Edward’s, Rew started amazing but went missing in his last 2, only really jeppersen and Hume struggled but overall results don’t lie they are not good enough, changes ? Who ? Anyway next week tolley has some big news he has to tell us and I don’t think it going to be a miracle signing

That sounds worrying. What tone did he make the statement in?

I would hope that it will be a Speedway track somewhere in the West Midlands, but with a team worth watching.

BREAKING NEWS: Nigel Tolley blaming track (again) for Birmingham's latest defeat at home... who would have thunk it?

I must admit I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for him 😔

He wont be able to return for 28 days (hopefully his visa issue will be sorted by then!)

Are you sure? Zagar wasn't given a ban for "withholding his services" as if that was the case Birmingham would've gotten a guest up to his 7.20 average.

With Oxford strengthening up & Birmingham weakening, this should be a double Oxford victory.

At the risk of tooting my own horn I'll remind people of my predictions lol!

Can’t see how Birmingham can last the season they are paying mega money to their riders 

I know for a fact Rew asked for similar money to Doyle and effectively ruled himself out of a team place rather than keep learning from Doyle and Emil

I feel really sorry for Birmingham. Last week they had two good chances of wins against Oxford then they go and bring in Cook who has a couple of rare good meetings. Timing is everything.

Its the fans paying £24 to watch carp week after week who I feel sorry for!

B'hams team has been woeful since L.R joined the club and that's a FACT!

The club will end up with just an MDL team....and guess who's 'baby' that is!?

Very disappointung evening, why they give Musielak heat 15 is a wonder, other riders there last night who earned the spot left out. Tops up his pay packet.

At least we wont lose next week.
