Heeps is usually poor at Poole, Boughen usually very good but struggling at the moment, Gilkes is usually not too good but he is in good firm. Thought Jody Scott rode quite well at Oxford for little reward and was 3rd in the U19 meeting.

We couldnt handle him Saturday but Wednesday is a different day and hopefully Lawson will be on fire. Brennan wasnt great either but with a couple of days rest he should be better. Killeen is a worry because he is in great form and not sure we have a reserve who can compete with him.

He may be overly pessimistic at times but he does have a point and 12 points is a very good lead, we couldnt overturn a 14 point lead last season could we! Oh wow, that will help, I really like him and believe he has a lot of potential, lets hope he can bring that form on Wednesday

He scored paid 11 in the last meeting from 5 rides,he was clearly off form at the start of the season.He isnt unbeatable but he is in top form currently and usually rides the Poole track extremely well.

Yes true, probably took on too much with riding for Leicester as well.

Oxfords answer to Sam Hagon who has also been poor for quite a while.

No he has been poor for a while, didnt ride in under 19 meeting at Oxford due to hand injury it was reported.

They always get it wrong.

Yes so I hope he rides.

It is still quite warm for the time of year so should dry fairly quickly.

I hope he does ride, if he doesnt ride it will make Oxford stronger.

He may not have said it about a Poole rider but any other team I think he would have made that comment. It was just a flippant remark.

Yes that is what we are hoping and hopefully the manager forgets to take him out of heat 12!

You would not be getting this much stick if he wasnt an Oxford rider.

We need him to ride Wednesday!

Well it is clear heat 12 was a massive mistake by Peter Schroek . If Middlo did that he would be castigated and rightly so. We all were pretty amazed but grateful.

Well there is clearly something not right considering his current form although Hagon has similar form and he has no injury that we know of.

It was on updates as a hand injury.

Also Boughen not riding due to hand injury probably means Oxford need a guest for Wednesday.

It was Friday because we were supposed to be riding at Oxford on the Wednesday until it was rained off.

Happens alot, Nicholls cutting across him caused the crash though. Most refs would have made the same decision.

Well its been going on for a very long time. I remember the abuse Schlein dished out to Poole fans at Coventry.

Also depends on the quality of the opposition, BSN was a damp squib because Scunthorpe were so poor. KOC will be good too because the teams are evenly matched and riding well, if you have one reserve riding well it makes such a difference.

If anyone said it is Oxfords to lose I would agree with them. 12 points is a lot. Masters and Nicholls are equally as good at Winborne Road as Sandy Lane and Killeen was fantastic last time as he was tonight. As for tonight, great crowd, great atmosphere and people still wonder why we have the play offs! Normal meetings just dont generate the excitement of the play offs. There is no doubt both teams have issues with one or two riders although although I thought Gilkes was very good and I doubt Jenkins would have scored as many.

Why what happened? In all the excitement I must have missed it.
