Why would he block him from racing NL? Wouldn't that benefit both Turner & Plymouth?

I'm starting to think Berwick, Birmingham, Edinburgh & Plymouth could lose every home match, except to each other. But one of them will still make the play-offs

Disagree with the second part of that comment, Atkins walked away from Plymouth, they didn't want to drop him (from either team). I agree Atkins is riding well for Oxford, but his form isn't an "I told you so" to anyone.

With Pearson dropped by Birmingham, would he score more points than Complin?

With Pearson dropped by Birmingham, would he score more points than Turner?

I don't understand the anti-Batchelor comments, he has a 7+ average. So on this season's form he'd be an improvement for every Birmingham rider!

The way the points scoring worked I would say Redcar drew & Poole won lol!

Wouldn't have him at 2 I'd go: 1. Laguta 2. Jorgensen 3. Pickering 4. R/R (or bring back KK) 5. Klindt 6. Thompson 7. Rowe (wishful thinking) 7. Edwards

Can you imagine how many guests would be used if riders didn't race when not fully fit?

Could race NL on Saturday's, see what sort of crowds they get for that?

I don't see why they would. They obviously weren't planning to have the strongest "RS" otherwise they wouldn't have gone for Mulford (no offence). Nothing has changed in that perspective. Perhaps they could strengthen up in time for the play-offs, but until then - no rush!

Disagreeing doesn't necessarily mean calling Riss a liar, but any speedway rider who has a bad night will always blame his bike / set-up / track conditions, I can't remember the last time a ruder said, "it was all me, i was poor). Probably sensible for a speedway riders confidence to blame his bike regardless?

I stand by that comment, as a neutral the match result, even the "stupid heat" meant very little. Had there not been play-offs it would've been the most important heat of the season (so far). Now I'm sure Redcar & Poole fans cared about the result, myself find Berwick vs Oxford tonight more interesting. As for the racing anyone there of course would want to see a superb match.

Just noticed updates had Mulford 2nd, Edwards 4th. But official score sheet has Bailey 2nd, Mulford 4th in heat 14. Explains why I was confused by earlier comments.

So Bailey was in heat 14 not Edwards?

Mickie Simpson looks a decent enough guest, could've been far worse off using an unattached 3.00 rider.

I'm confused according to the updates Edwards was in heat 14? Although based on his score perhaps Mulford should have taken one of Edwards earlier rides?

Worrall touched the tapes in one ride, so only got 4 rides. Newman only scored 3 points from 5 rides, was he really under used?

r/r for Cook only lost to Harris & Basso, can't guarantee Cook would have done any better. Plus Cook in heat 13, would've meant Lasse taking one less ride for a Wood (likely) last place. In these circumstances can't say Edinburgh missed Cook

Because when it was announced his last match was 13 points against Berwick

Brilliant guest for Berwick

Maybe Berwick have outfoxed Oxford, as Berwick look stronger in heats 12 & 14, but not really any weaker in heat 8 with Flint?

Redcar 45 (6) - Poole 45 (3)

While r/r is weaker than a fit MPT, it's stronger than any possible guests. Scunthorpe to win by 14/16

Can only see a big Glasgow win (54 minimum) hope Edinburgh can keep it respectable
