Shaleshifter Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) This Wednesday it's a trip to Sandy Lane for the restaging of the washed out meeting from April. Poole have a commanding lead after winning at home 61-29 back on Good-Friday and should win the tie on aggregate . Oxford will be out for revenge for sure and it should be an interesting encounter. The Cheetahs have a good top two in Sam Masters and Scot Nicholls and I expect the bulk of their points will come from them. To have any chance of pulling back the huge deficit, It Will depend on how Cameron Heeps and Jordan Jenkins perform along with Luke Kileen who has had a good start to the season and of course the contribution of the reserves : Ashley Boughen and Henry Atkins. Poole could be without Zack Cook after his fall at Berwick on Saturday so could be rider replacement. Thoughts?

lewy Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Easy win for Poole, 2 man team Oxford 2nd strings poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I believe that Poole have a guest on standby should Zach feel not well enough to ride on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Killeen at reserve with Boughen like he has been all season with Atkins at 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Technically Oxford can still qualify, they just need to get the bonus over the Pirates & hope Plymouth get a home win over Poole. But realistically a chance to improve on their home track before the league starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've agreed with you until Oxford's last home match, when they scored much better. Depends which Boughen they get, got double figures guesting for Scunthorpe, but struggling for the Cheetahs.

Having watched Oxford Vs Glasgow, Cam and JJ definitely improved but they don't seem to make it easy for themselves! I'll go for 49-41 to Oxford.

Could always ask Tate, he could get some practice in before Worky go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume u mean Hagon and not Masters? Mind u it's Masters that needs the practice after his woeful display at Leicester last week! Play it again Sam (Masters) on Wednesday!

Bojangles Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Be interesting to see what the crowd is like for this meeting. Cheetahs crowds have been a bit down this season, and expect this to be even worse with the fact they virtually have not chance of progressing and the original fixture was rained off.

Think running 3 Teams was not really a good thing regarding crowd levels.Its pretty obvious that not a lot of fans can afford 2 meetings most weeks.

I think it's still too early to make a judgement on it. Spires crowds are very good, and Chargers as good as (or even better than) last year. Cheetahs crowds are the only concern, and hopefully crowd levels will improve once the league actually kicks off. Just especially worried about this fixture as it's pretty unattractive. If you're an Oxford fan and worried about costs, this will be one to miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
