The Observer Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Has anyone heard who the Team Manger will be for the forth coming season? I'd personally love it if Steady would be prepared to double-up and travel down the M1 to us every Monday. He was a huge fans favourite as a rider.

hyderd Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Leicester look good to me, will be interesting to see peoples predictions once all teams are announced. Edited January 13, 2018 by hyderd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Some of the team, we more or less know what we're going to get. There are two who you can put into the category of unknown quantities although we have good reasons to be hopeful. The key man I think is Newman, especially early season. Can he properly fulfil his promise, and stay clear of injury? This is the year when he needs to kick on. Will he?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the guy can stay on the bike and not get injured. Last time he had a full season in 2015 won a title could he take the lions there this year?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Looking at our team for next season, I'm as optimistic as you can be for a Lions follower. If we are to be serious title contenders, then we cannot carry anyone. The key could be trigger happy Sarj. The margin between a warning and making a perfect start is so slight and if Sarj can get some help from senior team members on this front he could pick up some valuable points, particularly at home, against opposing reserves and second strings. If he does start trapping better it would also be a saving on elastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Would have been a big bonus if Leicester could have tempted back Syzmon Wozniak for this year as he had an average under six and is now Polish Champion and over 21. Decent team ram and good experience with Hans being a great team man and good with youngsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 On the face of things it would seem Leicester have put together a decent team. Only Bell Vue and Kings Lynn to name all their 1 to 7. Should be an interesting season . Difficult to predict anything, But I feel a top 4 finish might be on the cards.

Teromaafan Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I see on the Lions website that Specsavers are now sponsoring us. Have they not been involved before, providing rose tinted pairs for the previous management? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Now Sarj is on board the management are probably thinking that stronger start gate elastic is needed! Not a good idea. In these times where health and safety over rides everything, there is a potential injury risk to spectators on the 4th bend if Sarj catapults himself backwards due to an over enthusiastic start and the start tape remaining intact. Joking aside, if he can learn to trap at BP ( without being penalised) he should outscore all visiting reserves and maybe some second strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 So who would the fans like to be the new Lions manager ? Jim was a lovely bloke but did struggle at times wth seeing the programme and consequently made a few tactical errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
