Leigh Lanham


Recommended Posts

He deserves a place. He won over the Ipswich fans totally when previously he was booed by his own fans.

He gives 100% and is a team man looking out for his team mate on track. Although he might not increase his ave he won't be far off especially if used as a second string.

I think the majority of fans would have chosen Leigh instead of morten tbh.

I would give Leigh a team spot at any time and what he lacks in point scoring he makes up for in experience to help other younger riders and as for Morton isn't there a family tie there

I am one of the number that would have Leigh ahead of Morten as he is more consistent away from home.

 

However I can see why Morten got the nod as there is still that hope that the enigma will finally deliver what it is believed he should be capable of at PL level.

 

Can he produce a purple patch that lasts a season and not just a month or so?

Every year we get the same rubbish that this year WILL be Risager's year much like the Eastbourne lot do with Lahti,Gustaffson etc it never happens and it wont happen he's on a 6.90 average cause that's all he's good enough for. He's a PL second string/Low averaged 3rd heat leader always will be..... Never gunna get any better

I would have also had Leigh everyday of the week. Morten is never going to get any better, but neither is Leigh, but as has been mentioned, Leigh is far better on most of the away tracks. I believe Leigh would have been the difference in us possibly winning the league instead of us maybe reaching the play offs.

Would be quite ironic if after initially being left out in the cold he ended up with a choice of half a dozen clubs!
