chun Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (12/5)*4= 4.5. 4.5 more for one team is 4.5 less than the opponent, so a swing of 9ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a change is made. Who? Not sure about that. Jordan I’m sure will come good but we’re still unbeaten with a under performing Jordan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im of the same thinking tbf, i think Ipi can afford to carry Jordan atm till he finds his feet, he just needs a spell at reserve to get some confidence, young Dan is picking up decent points home and away and Ellis is doing his bit and like been said their still unbeaten so it ain't all bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Jacobs Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 10 hours ago, Mr Blobby said: If Nicholls has the wrong helmet colour on then surely he should’ve been excluded on the 2 minutes there. Or was there more to it like Oxford don’t know the rule book when it comes to changes. There's a quote from Schroeck in the Oxford report: https://oxfordspeedway.club/2024/04/reaction-at-the-end-of-the-day-were-still-second-in-the-league-table-and-we-know-how-weve-now-got-a-very-strong-side-throughout-and-were-going-to-be-tough-to-beat/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) Schroeck not being too hard on himself. “No-one is harder on me than myself and I know I made a mistake in Heat 14 and could have put a reserve out with Scott. I’m normally clued up, but there was so much going on towards the end of the meeting and I missed an opportunity there and that does frustrate me. But at the end of the day, the only way we could have got a win would have been to also gain a heat advantage over Sayfutdinov and Doyle in Heat 15, when Ipswich had pick of gate positions" Edited April 19 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Schroeck was a dreadful TM at Rye House Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Seems Emil still can't get a win in heat 1 - don't think he has won a first heat all season! Apart from Jenkins everything seems to be pretty much ok - he will drop to reserve which will hopefully give him some confidence. I watch a rerun of the Peterborough v Sheffield match from last season and he looked really good. 8 minutes ago, Chris said: Schroeck was a dreadful TM at Rye House Don't recall him being that great there as a rider either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think wet conditions would suit Chris Harris than any other rider. Just remember all the stick i got saying that Harris would not score well v a decent ippo side.at Foxhall ..Magic looking great as well i see. Saying all that if Tungate had have showed up they might have won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 8 hours ago, orion said: Harris 4 lol. Remember what people saying about what he would do at Foxhall v Ipswich last last year the final and will always score over ten etc lol Strawman argument. Harris's GSA is under 7 so no one should regularly expect him to score double figures. He's outscored his average in 4 out of 5 matches so far this season and that's an admirable record, not a reason to laugh at him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a change is made. Who? He's much better than his early season form suggests, Ipswich have time though because the team has been racking up wins. Hope JJ can bring back his 2023 form back.

KevtheRev Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) By not running Heat 15, did Oxford get a losing bonus point by only losing by 6? If so, lets hope Ipswich don't miss out on the play offs by 1 league point from Oxford! More than happy with Jordon. Clearly on the pace and will score more when in his correct position of reserve.

If you follow this line if thought to it's logical conclusion why not dispense with all that messy racing and random variations and just add up the two teams GSAs and award the match to the team with the highest combined average.
