back of a fag packet calculations of average home scores by team in 2024

sheff 51.58

bv 51.33

leicester 50.33

ippo 48.00

lynn 47.33

ox 46.75

brum 43.58

doesnt tell the the whole story but a good guide nevertheless 

I had Leicester above The Aces but that was before the final. Ipswich were easily above us before their injuries kicked in. 
We’re usually mid table in the home league table.

to be fair my calculations were regular fixtures only so play offs would reduce leics & sheff and increase bv

the ippo point is a good one 

another angle on the home advantage thing is the difference between home and away average scores 

might look into that when i get 5 mins

I would never sign a rider with a 4 point home/away differential

Home av 6.98

Away av 2.76

 

Think he is the best option available, as I can see Musielak being at 1 so that leaves 5.13 for the No. 6 (Kerr - 4.77; C Cook - 4.56; Howarth - 5.06). Unless they can bring in a 5 point rider in from the continent…

That doesn’t really matter these days as all meetings are over two legs, even the qualifiers with the bonus. I’d sooner sign a lad who can score 9/10 over two legs with a massive differential than one that scores 4 home and away.

But as Oxford don't ride their home matches at Lynn I would expect his home average to plummet.

He still had to dial in to the Lynn track? There’s no reason why he couldn’t do that around Oxford with some practice…

Potential Oxford team next year 40 limit

1 Musielak 8.21

2 Wright 6.32

3 Janowski 7.02

4 Masters 7.32

5 Tungate 7.71 

6 (3.42)

7 Killeen R Star

looks a very impressive top 5

Can’t see them getting rid of Riss as he’s good pals with Schroek. Only other place I could see Riss being is Lynn, but it doesn’t make sense if they’re going “strength in depth”. 

You do make a good point with Masters though, that is a very strong rumour. which may mean Tungate goes again at 1, although I do feel if Oxford want to make the Top 4 they need someone over the top of him.

1. Tungate - 7.71

2. ???? - 6.02

3. Masters - 7.32

4. Wright - 6.32

5. Janowski - 7.02

6. Riss - 5.61

RS - Killeen

Your thinking is right. Riss isn't at Lynn.

Riss is 5.55, so 6.08 left. Chris Harris fits, but is rumoured to be at Lynn, next best Steve Worrall?

That is the more realistic option imo gives a decent reserve all season long Aslong as Oxford don’t weaken there own team during the season like this season,don’t think it would win them the league if they wanted to they would have to have musielak at no1 or a top heatleader and have a dominant top 4.
