This result certainly makes the second leg interesting for neutrals.

I'm disappointed in Schroeck's poor management, but that's Poole's biggest loss of the season. I'd have taken 51-39 before the start. Bravo Sam Masters. Well done Dan Gilkes as well, 8+1 is decent return from four rides.

The blokes a twit

Can't believe Killeen didn't come in for Boughen in heat 12, but that's Peter Schroeck for you!

That's the sort of comment that got me banned from the Oxford FB page lol!

He’s unreal

more of a lead than i expected oxford to achieve

words fail me re heat twelve 

Lawson in 15 was almost as big a gaff imo

Well Lawson had scored 7 & Ben Cook 7+1, not a lot in it. Plus Lawson is top of their averages.

Compared to Killeen getting 12+1 not taking a ride from Boughen 1+1, big difference.

If Tom Brennan rides as poorly as he did tonight in the return leg, then Oxford stand a chance of winning overall.

He's made a few shockers this season, but that has to take the award as the most incompetent decision this season!!

Actually it's not, he once sent one rider out in a race in the Premiership instead of 2. Think someone was injured but he replaced a programmed rider with a tac sub not the injured rider or something like that?

He makes so many howlers, it's hard to keep track tbh.

Do Poole fans really get on the backs of their riders if they're not performing... that's a few times has mentioned it now! Or was it just Rory they had problems with 😂

Yeah they do. Already happening on twitter.

If as people have been saying that Boughen is riding with an injury. What are the options for Oxford? Is it R/R or can they use a guest? Having watched him last week riding for Scunny against Poole and tonight. He has scored 1 point in seven rides. Don't think Oxford can carry him on Wednesday and win.

Lawson had a touch of Frickitis tonight...

Considering Poole have won the BSN series, finished top of the league and still have a great chance of overturning 12pts I'd day some Poole fans on X need a reality check

I think that last tweet is a bit unfair on Vinny. Yes the other two have been very poor. Vinny won heat two, beating Kiieen in the process, then had a good 2nd. He has improved, just needs to settle down a bit. Could be a good signing for next season at Poole

Problem is, (most) Poole fans think they are going to win every meeting...and they do not like it when they don't.

First of all I wouldn’t have Gilkes at Poole, normally struggles. Got 2 for Redcar I believe.

Tobias Thomsen is a charming young man isn't he? What was his problem?!

Surely you know what Poole fans are like by now

When they win a match it’s Shovlar saying it’s against the odds and that other fan going on about his stupid coffee… or people saying they know more than others

Then when they lose tonight it all goes quiet and not a peep from them …. Worst losers always have been …. The comments on social media show you what their fanbase is like 

So we all now need to wait for the Shovlar to tell us how much it will be a shock if they overturn this deficit … it won’t be … but in his eyes it will be the biggest comeback since Lazurus 

Just the weirdest fanbase in the sport
