The way the championship is shaping up 4 teams from oxford poole workington Glasgow and Scunny are going to make the play offs. We all know Glasgow will open the wallet and bring in some foreigner on a ridculously low average which means its very important for Scunny to rack up a big score now to secure the bonus point....... it could be crucial in play off race

I think Scunny are very safe on the top 4, if Glasgow make it, won't be at their expense.

Still expecting a big home win.

Yet again a ref leaves it dangerously late to stop a race before putting all back in the rerun! Do these refs get assessed at all?

How Starke managed a 4th ride whilst young Ace is riding well is baffling.

Obviously our manager must know what he is doing.

Top 4 is almost a given 

Poole , Oxford, Workington and Scunthorpe 

the rest are merely making the numbers up.

 

Although I have just noticed that Redcar won at Edinburgh tonight to put them back in the mix.

Still think Starke, Pearson and possibly Ace are too weak on a home and away basis. Rose tinted specs for those who see James at Glasgow but away he is poor and that threatens the bonus points. Top four gone now, how about bringing over Slater Lightcap with a view to next year.

Bomber doing ok, Leon looking better every week. Ace win a raise... clutching at straws here. No idea his commitments but love to see pollestad or similar given a few meeting end of season. This year's gone lets look to next

Agree about James he is very good at Glasgow but away he has generally been poor.

Starke can go anytime he wants and Ace hasn’t progressed as much as we thought he would but should still stick with him.

Watching Scunthorpe match and got to say looks like a rubbishhole. Shocking track and piss poor preparation.

Plus hardly anyone there, did they forget to open the turn stiles

Redcar have completed a lot more meetings. I think it's between the four you mentioned and Glasgow. Unfortunately, I think we've let the aggregate point escape us.

The only changes Oxford make are to weaken the team. 

Can't see Poole doing anything except finding a 2.00 rider, rest are all doing their job.

For Glasgow, not easy for to strengthen up with a low points limit, makes it more important to pick the correct team from the start.

We're currently 2.08 below the points limit.

Jack now has a CMA of 5.4 effective shortly. Does that take us over the limit, meaning only like for like changes can now be made. 

Might be harsh but surely a no brainer bring in a 5 pointer? Will jack maintain a 5 in main body? Can't see it myself so if now above the limit thats the change for me. Much improved as jack has been and harsh it may sound

I like Pearson I think he’s a decent little rider. Threw in at the deep end really into the main body at the start of the year. Ace is showing improvement and the pair of them are only young lads. As for starke, well I’m glad he riders for Glasgow and not us :rofl:

Glasgow could easily make the top 4, 2 points behind Workington with a home match in hand, 2 points behind Redcar with 2 home matches in hand. Even have 2 home matches in hand over Oxford (5 points behind).

If we are looking to change it will need to be soon as Jacks rolling average will move to over 5  after completing his 6th meeting tonight.
