Bald Bloke Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Should be a close one. Hoping Brum can get it over the line. 46-44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Amazed it's dry at Perry Barr it's been torrential 20 mikes away. If Zack Cook rides as well as he did last Monday I think that will edge it for Oxford. Riss is a big loss he's good at PB. Just hope Brummies are less pathetic than my previous visit. At least I'll not spend the entire night squinting this time.

Racin Jason 72 Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Keeping hagon and releasing Edwards is another Birmingham masterclass of team building and management. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Yep, Edwards showed why that decision was foolish tonight. Was an Ok meeting until the interval track grading when they decided the outside line on bends 3&4 was no longer necessary.... I guess it had mostly been Spires using it to pass Brummies. Janowski was in a different class and was reasonably backed up by all but Thomson. Musielak only won one race, Zagar tailed off after 3 good rides, Rew & Castagna did Ok... About what Id expect from Castagna,Rew should be doing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford are awful but Brummies are beyond woeful. It was billed as the battle to avoid bottom spot. Brummies had secured that spot before that match.

szkocjasid Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 First thought when I saw the scores, brilliant decision to retain Hagon over Edwards. Even Sudden Sam wouldn't have done that lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they shouldn't have announced it was a mutual decision. They did exactly that, so it's fair to ridicule their team building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musielak heat 7 win was instantly forgettable. He disappeared as Tungate struggled to pass Castagna despite being handed the outside line on turns 3&4. Rew 9+2 is double figures from 5 rides.... 9 is not two digits. That's how many points he scored for the team. 3 points are absolutely assured because Jeppeson is not finishing in front of anyone at PB.

When Jason was injured we (I use that term lightly as I am a Director but have no team input) elected to replace Jason with Sam rather than name him as an injury replacement, so that Jason would come back in when fit. FWIW not what I’d have done but that’s just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be honest with Hagon from the start "you have a temporary team spot". I'm sure Hagon wouldn't have turned that down - he had no other Premiership options. Can't believe how inept the team planning has been! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler42 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I for the life of me can't understand why Birmingham wanted to keep Hagon. Yes he a good meeting the other week, but Joe Thompson is the only rider with a lesser average that Hagon! Both the youngster at Lynn have a higher average. If you take bonus pts into the equation. Edwards is a tad under 5pts. Hagon is 2.43. If Birmingham couldn't be bothered to contact Edwards, then whose fault is it that he's gone to Ipswich? Maybe Hagon is very cheap!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else Birmingham is inept so why should the team planning be any different 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
