Leicester V Coventry


Recommended Posts

Just need to cut out those sloppy lost points and losses at home and try win at Brum in the B fixture and i might consider the Bees as anything but also rans. :t:

As you know SCB, i`m against betting but well done for getting something right.

I don't mind acknowledging the rare occasions. :P

I totally agree with you. I still see it that we have lost 3 or 4 points in the meeting at Birmingham and the home meeting vs Leicester but I still don't think it will matter come September.

Every day is a fools day for Stevebrum :rofl: (awaits predictable response )

 

 

Talk about being predictable. You never fail to let me down. :t:

Too many points dropped already but picking up other wins away will see if come September you are there or about or not.

Wasn't aware till tonight that Garrity is riding with a broken thumb. Huge respect to him for his dedication.

 

Brilliant whole team effort again for the bees. Great heat 9 from our reserves.

Thanks to both guests for what they did tonight.

Good 6pt weekend

 

At moment we seem stronger away from home with 4pt wins at Swindon & Leicester, a pt at Brum & pushing Poole close

 

Doyle was very impressive tonight

About 3.5

Yep, 3.48. I would have thought he'd be perfect as a number two somewhere, inflating his average against the reserves and capable of beating second strings and the occasional heat leader. I mentioned Katajisto on the Swindon thread, who would be on 3. He's been flying for Plymouth and also worth a shout.

 

Well done to Jason Doyle, he looks good to put another point on his average this year.

10pt loss for the Lions. We could do with another 6 riders of Jason calibre. He went like a bat out of hell tonight. Mads was well of the pace so was Stead. Shame about Perry locking up that lost us 2 points in that heat. The rest of them was really History.

All that I said a Bomber I take back he looked in good form tonight. Seemed to be back with it again after a spell being lost in the woods.

Close drawn thing for the first few heats then the Bees just came on to strong.

Hope the money that was raise for Young Max Clegg helps him to build a couple of decent Engines, he really needs to up his game now. The rest of the Lions just don;t seem strong enough to me, they need a couple of better riders to go with Jason to make them look good this year. We may see a few changes before this season ids finished.

Well done to Coventry - I certainly wasn't expecting that without Hansen and Howarth. Pretty boring stuff though with only three passes all night (two of which were in the same race between Garrity and Perry) so I'm glad we didn't waste £28. Even though Bees won I still like to see some close racing.

Well done Jason Doyle on getting his first full maximum for Leicester against a tidy side. Congratulations to Coventry on their win - good to see Bomber scoring well :)

 

 

Wait for the queue of people saying that he isn't really an EL number one. :icon_smile_clown:

Good job Doylie.

Great result for the Bees. The whole team contributed and that was the difference between the two teams IMO. Not very exciting as a spectacle, but I doubt any Bees fan travelled down the M69 unhappy. :t: to Max Fricke who rode with plenty of steele, he should be on speed dial for when Kyle is next unavaliable. Fish took a nasty fall in the first but bounced back well, Bomber looked more at ease on the bike and made a couple of good starts. Lawson started poorly but managed a few places.

 

For the Lions Doyle was awesome, but didn't have sufficient back up.

Weren't Garrity's passes down to a mistake by Garrity. Not 100% as i watching on the little screen but it appeared he lost the length of the straight to end up behind both Llung and Perry in the matter of a lap only to re pass Perry as Perry appeared to lock up on the last bend. Mistakes again appeared to be the only way of passing all night although i, equally, may well have been mistaken as i wasn't there. Not sure i saw the pass in heat 14 unless you mean't the one that happened off the first bend Gemini. Not sure i quite see where the track is coming to Elite yet as David Hemsley professed would happen. We're into the season far enough that i would have thought fans are beginning to form an opinion on this, so what's the verdict so far?

Good meeting. Even if the LIONS lost. Some very good racing. Maybe not that many passes. But I don't go to speedway to see how many pases there are just to watch some good racing and we got it tonight. If we had a decent team to back up Jason Doyle. The lions would be winning far more races than they are now.

If anything the racing is even worse than last season. The Elite riders just don't make the same amount of mistakes as in the Premier League and as that is practically the only time anyone can overtake, nearly every race is over by the end of the second bend. The racing is fast and furious and for some that appears to be enough, but it could and should be so much better.

Yes, the passes in heat 12 were just due to mistakes but I was trying to be charitable so counted it as two passes. The heat 14 one I've no idea who did what but I was marking down on my programme if there was an overtake after the first bend so my eyes might have glazed over by then and it was just wishful thinking.
