Normski Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I want Berwick to win as much as any other fan but we have to be realistic. Oxford are a much stronger team that what we humped last season, with the additiion of Masters & Kerr backing Nicholls in a strong top 3 plus good back up in Jenkins and Atkins who is starting to come good. I think we possibly shade it at reserve with Hook who has been a good addition & Connor who has been reliable all season.

Agree but Berwick don't make proactive decisions like Birmingham and Plymouth only change when no other option , Berwick a 2 man team tonight some of the Berwick riders will have really attractive averages for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Bottom Line is Strength in depth has not paid off so far due to Jye,Leon And Jonus not showing the improvement they were expecting them to make.Thats speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep getting told we Team build to a Budget so see no reason why not.Although the Bullets have been a bit of a disaster IMO.Don’t see how that pays unless good Sponsorship is in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etheridge has been going backwards for the last 3 years but has still been a shoe in when team building comes around. Flint after initial promise is bang average. Both be number 1 and 2 choices for next years 1-7 no doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 We`ve gone from unlucky to lopsided. Maybe Berwick are just poor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted July 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I think the Berwick fans are being a little harsh on their team. Bar Poole, they were basically the most competitive team I've seen at Oxford this season. The three late 5-1s definitely flattered Oxford at the end - looked like it was going to be much closer before that. It was also going to be hard for a number of Bandits riders to score big when they are facing either Masters, Nicholls or Kerr in the majority of races. Schlein was superb, battled hard and never gave up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last time they had a strong pair of heat leaders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Oxford fan, if the meeting is close, it’s always good to know we’ve got those in the bank - so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all they put up a good fight but we’re overwhelmed later as was pointed out especially in a breathtaking heat 13 when Nichols and masters went either side of Rory a special mention for Cameron Heeps who in my opinion had his best meeting in long time and was made to work for it.
