He started well, but seems to be struggling at the moment, and is a definite weak link. With no sign of a Killeen return any time soon, I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite Oxford in a close match. Ryan's got 6 double figure scores in 7 Chargers matches and scored paid 14 points from 3 Cheetahs home matches. Anything he scores away from home is a bonus. You can't realistically expect much more from a 2 point rider. Edited June 17, 2023 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Oxford could have won by more, I was surprised they didn't use a tac sub in heat 6. Masters had already beaten Ross/Flint, so a 5-1 with Nicholls would've put them right back into the match (whilst meaning the reserves taking one less ride) of course it didn't matter in the end! Edit: Unless Berwick can win by 4 or 6 at Oxford lol! Edited June 17, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first match was at home to Plymouth (the team with the weakest reserves in the league) so he probably looked better than he actually is. Now he's just showing his usual form, NL heat leader, but struggles in the Champ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just feels like his form is starting to desert him a bit - scoring has dried up in the Champ after a positive start and he’s definitely struggling a bit more in the NDL as well. Not sure there is a better solution out there, mind. As you say, you probably can’t realistically expect much more from a 2 pointer in the Championship.

BigRackBandit Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Little shout out to Leon, Jye and Scott Nicholls regarding how great they were with my 5 year old relation post meeting. His first time at speedway and he was absolutely thrilled tjhaat they took the time to engage with him and take photos, particularly Scott who invited him onto his bike. Great stuff Edited June 18, 2023 by mucklechavvych 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas with a flyer in the re run and got away with it. Oxford riders both moved in heat 14 and got away with it (got my program wrong as had hook in 3rd place also). Scott said he was disappointed along with Sam about missing a maximum as you like to get maximums especially away from home. He said the fuel cap he lost during the race had no bearing on the heat result. And it keeps the Ave down.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Final heat 5-1 slightly distorts the score line IMHO . Berwick looked second best most of the night , another long break until the next Bandits home meeting , it's hard to build up any kind of momentum for the riders and the fans with do many gaps in the season Edited June 18, 2023 by DSC67 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 If the Berwick team manager and/or the Berwick management believe they lost last night due to Jorgensen`s engine or a general lack of luck then they are deluded, and its all well and good saying what`s gone is gone and lets move on, maybe sometimes you need to look at the reasons why you are losing on a regular bases, especially at home. How about a lack of race winners, only four last night. It should also be remembered that Oxford lost a rider in Ht1 and had a rider scoring zero, so Berwick were beaten by a five man team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BacktrackBandit Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Decent night of speedway in-front of a decent crowd. Great to see Etheridge back in the points and the Bandit’s reserves very good once again. Rest of the team very poor and another disappointing result against a 5man Oxford. Big meeting at Brum through the week, anyone travelling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
