Must have rediscovered his love of the sport (or invested a few quid in some new equipment). Definitely showing he's still a class act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see but I suspect this will be his last season as a rider ,just hope he gets to the end of it in one piece . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb for Oxford so far this year and beat Doyle last night a couple of times as well. I expect once the summer comes/tracks become slick his form will dip but unbelievable really to have a 30 year riding career. Holder cost the Tigers victory tonight but it shows that UK speedway is pretty demanding. Edited April 20, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideHard Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 No disgrace for us tonight think it’s the one track in this league our riders don’t go too well at (and maybe wolves). Holder and Bellego not at it for first time this season was the difference between a close defeat and a comfortable victory. Looking forward to the return fixture Emil should enjoy opening throttle up around Owlerton. onto the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Quite important to get over the line here. Back to back opening home defeats is never ideal and would have already left us playing catch up. Hume with a very important couple of wins. Fingers crossed Riss is back for Bank Holiday Monday against Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 We aren’t going to win many matches by much this season because of the way we are built …. Doyle and Emil will always score big …. Danny got 9 last night which will do although disappointed he didn’t look for Rew when on a 5-1 just raced off….. R/R only got 3 which was an issue …. But Danyon after an awkward start did really well and Joe got 2 which is really all we can expect. Rew will come good is on the pace but Foxhall isn’t easy to pass on anyway For Sheffield impressed with Gilkes and Holder is just useless at Foxhall hardly tries an inch Ellis was average and so was Howarth…. Kerr did what was expected and Nicholls was sublime and fast as well didn’t win his races by being a roadblock he was quick We will get better and better as the season goes on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Once Riss is fit you should expect Witches to be able to hit around 50 most meetings at home at least, whether that will be enough to pick up many bonus points away from home is another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 A great performance last night. Good to see Hume & Rew continuing to improve. I agree with Riss in the side most of our home meetings should be won by 8-10 points. The flip side is I can see us keeping it close away from home too with the possible exception of Wolves. The boys have already shown a liking for Peterborough & Leicester. Sheffield,Lynn & Belle Vue should all be to the liking of Emil & Rew. We already know that Danny,Eric & Jason love those places.

Narrow home win as expected - pleasing to read of the good performances from Hume and Rew plenty more to come from both. Nicholls probably got what Musielak would have got about 11-12 - the others / Holder no surprise he seems to really hate / struggle at Foxhall.

Baldyman Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 It seems to be going much like last season,, last heat deciders at home and doing okay away. Think that will just about see us okay for a play off slot,, then who we face will win over 2 legs,,, just like last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts this time around are how will Emil & young Rew take to monmore green along with Thompson. Wolves also seem to have side better suited to monmore this year. all in all I’m very impressed with the witches so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ald64 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I enjoyed the meeting I don't think many will do as well as Scott Nicholls in Heat 13.Emil and Jason won't lose many.I think Scott Nicholls showed his class and nerve as he's supposed to be winding down his career at 46.Overall a good close contest.
