He is just not very good away from home. (One of his rare double figure scores was at Oxford last year) Yet Jack Smith frequently says in interviews he's looking for a Champ (or even Prem) team spot. He'd certainly have a better chance of he can score double figures home & away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Luke Killeen is from what I've heard and it's the truth not idle gossip, due to have an operation tomorrow. Hopefully it speeds up his recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinks that highly likely to be a continuing trend. Away wins will be a big boost to any side but aggregate points even more key. Oxford still in with a great chance but when its so tight why be stubborn /gamble on Fellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're happy to give him time as it's a development league? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Smith needs a reality check,the amount of chances he has been given.Bottom line he is just not good enough to cut it other than NDL level.Even then is questionable when the going gets tough.

A very strong team once Killeen comes back…. 1. Jenkins, 2. Clouting, 3. Atkins, 4. Scott, 5. Kinsley, 6. Dugard, 7. Killeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Certainly boosts any hopes they hold. Probably the worst year to have only 2 play off spots as arguably a top four of Oxford, Leicester, Worky and Mildy with any capable of taking the title on the right day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see it there are 3 teams stronger than the rest: Leicester, Oxford & Workington. If 4 qualify for the play-offs any fixtures between these sides have less importance as you know they'll both qualify. As it is these meetings now become far more important & interesting as only 2 of the 3 can qualify? With Belle Vue, Edinburgh & Mildenhall all looking strong at home, it's a very interesting league, I'd have preferred no play-offs.

Is there any suggestion of how long he'll be out for? Gotta couple of winnable away matches at Edinburgh & Berwick with him in the team, but without him looking for close results to get the bonus points in the return fixtures Edited June 2, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted July 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 In an interview with Peter Schroeck at the Berwick meeting last night, it sounded highly unlikely that Luke Kileen will be back racing again this season. Bad news for the Chargers if that's the case (although it should mean they will be strong again next year as he'll keep his 3.00 average). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot favourites with Killeen in the team in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
