Leicester V Wolves Prem. 01.09.17


Recommended Posts

Interesting. Has local lad David ever rode at the new track? Perhaps when Lions were in the lower division. :unsure: I was hoping at some point in his career David would be a Lion but I suppose there's still time now he has come out of retirement. Wouldn't be much travelling expenses to pay. :lol:

Be reasonable, Lions had very bad luck in losing Lasse Bjerre and already using R/R. We did not need the points, Leicester did.

Bad luck??? Really. If you spend a large part of the season with a 6 man team and rider replacement then you leave yourself vulnerable to a rider crashing and being withdrawn. This isn't the first time it's been a problem and to some extent they have been lucky. In addition if you replace Bates and Riss by Howe and Etheridge then you increase the vulnerability.

 

Not that it would have affected the result but if Lynch then gives Etheridge 7 rides (2 from 7) and Newman (who was very good) 6 rides (11 from 6) then you can't play the bad luck card.

 

High levels of incompetence I'm affraid.

If Bjerre hadn't been injured the score would have been a lot closer.

Probably but it's another IF.

 

If Kyle had had 7 rides and not 6

 

If Etheridge had had 6 not 7

 

If we hadn't replaced Riss and Bates with Howe and Etheridge

 

If we had not have gone rider replacement for last umpteen meetings

 

If we didn't have Lynch

 

If you leave yourself exposed week in week out, you may get away with it sometimes but you won't get away with it all the time.

 

And

 

If it had been close Freddie would have been in heat 15

 

It isn't necessarily bad luck
