Lots of speculation of how the new riders will do on this thread from my point of view regardless of scores or averages if our rider is better at the end than the start it's been a success. The league is about development and before anyone has a fit I know everyone likes to win but for us it's not the be all and end all . If the rider succeeds so does the team . excatly i,d have harrison in my team,young english bringing him through the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Any ideas for the final spot then? 3.67 to play with if I'm correct. I'd go with Jamie Halder as a little bit of experience down at reserve if he's still going. Way better than his 3.04 average suggests, just been fairly unlucky with injuries and finding himself in the main body, which I don't think he would in this Oxford team. Eventually Clouting and Halder at reserve would be very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise Oxford have got it very wrong for the Cheetahs.

We saw Congreve at Newcastle in the Championship last season & he was a long way off the pace for that league. Even if he is eligible to take a place in an NDL team would he think it viable to travel 12000 miles just for a NDL team spot. The finances involved would be unobtainable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Not convinced that Fellows is even the pick of available 3 pointers but maybe some guidance and heavy machinery investment will assist that. Likely with this side that its 3 rides only at number 6 or might be fortunate that result is decided early and gets his last run out. With Killeen as the other reserve there is always a feeling he might not last the meeting and Fellows could be decisive as the lone reserve rider.

I'm not sure if there are any better 3.00 riders available, but they can always make changes if needed. The Oxford team is clearly built to win based on having 4 heat leaders, plus the very promising Jody Scott who may end up being their 5th HL. I would rate their main rivals Workington (S.McGurk & Kelly) & Leicester (Spencer & Foord) as ending up with stronger reserves than Oxford (Clouting & Fellows) though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agreed to disagree on the available 3.00 riders who look better positioned to do a better job BUT Fellows could be turning up with a huge upgrade in machinery and fitness so happy as ever to be proved wrong. If McGurk and Kelly end up at reserve for Worky that could be a serious lack of fire power at the end of the season and if Spencer ends up at reserve (or heading for it) i could seeing him being dropped by Leicester before the averages change.

I agree with Fromafar, same for Leicester too, suggesting Spencer ends up at reserve isn't me suggesting his average will drop, just that I expect James, Boughton & Perry to do very well! I think Spencer could up his average & still end up as reserve! Don't see Oxford ending up with the same firepower at reserve as their main rivals.

szkocjasid Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 While it's a blow for Oxford with Nathan Stoneman getting injured, r/r still gives them a strong looking teams with Jenkins, Atkins, Scott & Killeen all able to get an extra ride (or more in Luke's case).
