lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Match No 3 in Play-Off Group B. Scunthorpe need at least a point (preferably a win) to stay in contention, while the Rebels will want maximum points prior to their visit to their bogey track Ipswich on Thursday. Former Rebel Kyle Newman is set to guest for Scunny. Should be a good meeting. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Good guest selection. Kyle was handy on his last visit to the OTA and has been in form lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Good guest selection. Kyle was handy on his last visit to the OTA and has been in form lately. I like Kyle - he's a nice lad. When Oxford were in a second half at Swindon in 2012, he came along to mechanic for Brendan Johnson, and ended up helping out Ross Walter with his bikes as well. Without Kyle, we'd have run out of working bikes! He should be a very good guest. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 A point for Scunny would really set the group up nicely. I think Scunny are a team that could push the Rebels at the OTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can`t see that myself, comfortable win for the Rebs, Allen,Morris , Wright and Aspgren will be too much for the Scorps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Well done last night by the Rebels, hope Charles isn't too knocked about and also Ash Birks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Replacement Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 On the outside it looked like a very poor showing from the Scorps, but I can assure you "most" of the team tried their best to get the settings right. Shame that the captain pulled out injured and then went home with the RR tyre, true captains performance that ;-) Oh well I'm sure 2015 will be a different team. Two meetings left, is there any point really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 In 2013, injuries curtailed our improvement. This season, or more importantly, these last 3 months bar last 2 weeks, we have been the form team. Shouldn't think, for 2015, it needs much tinkering.

Only two riders that IMO should be kept, Jørgensen & Auty, clear out the rest and start again. They are the only two riders who ride their ass off for Scunny and themselves.

Rider Replacement Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Douglas is too inconsistent as in, he is on the edge all time win it or bin it merchant and his machinery is in poor condition and not maintained. Birks is not a team player, doesn't look out for his team mate and is not particularly a good captain. Howe is the same as Birks. Klindt is too inconsistent, a world beater today and then an also ran tomorrow, just doesn't seem to be on his a game and seems to be injury prone. The team I would like to see if it all fitted and worked out in no particular order:- OSTERGARRD WILKINSON JØRGENSEN AUTY © GRAVERSEN BENJI COMPTON SERGEANT Some old faces there but every rider is a "racer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 "Birks is not a team player, doesn't look out for his team mate and is not particularly a good captain". What! Where have you been since Birks took over from Howe? No disrespect to David, as he had his own problems last year never mind the teams, but Ash has been a good captain. Offered his bike when needed to & this year, with Auty, how many 5-1's did they have at home, always looking for each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Replacement Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Totally disagree, he gets in the way of his team mates, has no words on set ups to the team and does nothing for morale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
