When he rode at Leicester for Poole I thought he was poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Well done i did put his name up as a guess,but as someone else has very astutely said it's Kyle Newman and I think he's correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Anders Rowe is the final signing for the lions. It's a good team let's hope it's good enough to win something ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I had no idea Rowe was suffering from a knee injury last season which he explains why he struggled at leciester last season. Dickson reckons he should be pushing for a heat leader spot. If he does kick on and Dan struggles in the main body you could see them swapping positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Leicester having a powerful heat leader trio, Rowe will get nowhere near a heat leader spot! He may still have a great season & up his average, but not be a heat leader.

ray c Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 i think your one rider short at 2 or 4 .but if anders or connor kick on who knows jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 At Somerset he was soon up at no 2 (circumstances) but from what I can remember he didn't struggle and won quite a few races. I'm sure he was featured in one of those rider profiles in SS last winter or sometime, when he said that Leicester was his favourite track. The knee injury in 2021 season had a big effect on his scores after. He probably came back too soon and that always comes with a price. From what I've heard, he can be a bit of a fiesty rider not averse to "mixing it" - must be the red hair!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if like you said they improve then we will be fine. But if they don't kick on then we're stuck abit. Our team is solely based on potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Connor Mountain is the secret weapon in the side. He rode most of the season at 3 & 5 for Newcastle, Connor will be a second string for Leicester so he's capable of scoring big and upping his average by a point imo. Leicester & Glasgow both look very good sides to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as heats 8+14 are usually weaker than heat 12, should score more even before allowing for improvement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really looked like a potential championship winning side last year and never really jelled as a team and underperformed, need to up their game this year to compete with Glasgow, maybe Oxford and no dought whatever team Poole eventually put out.

Diamonds85 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Connor Mountain was brilliant for us up at Newcastle and I was gutted when he didn't sign for us. He held his own as a third heatleader when really, he shouldn't have been in that position to start with. I am really jealous that yous have signed him. Connor will easily hold his own at number 4 imo. Or even number 3 1. Nick Morris 2. Dan Thompson 3. Connor Mountain 4. Kyle Howarth 5. Richie Worrall 6. Joe Thompson 7. Anders Rowe WHAT A TEAM!! Always gonna have one amazing reserve (two tbh if Joe kicks on also) and 3 brilliant heatleaders. I would put Kyle at 4 to strengthen heat 14, so there's a strong end to the meeting. And as I say, Connor should hold his own at number 3 imo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Initial thoughts were that the middle order is a bit light. On reflection, providing that the heat leaders maintain their averages, we have four young riders who are on their way up and between them I would expect an increase in combined averages of three (may be more) points. On that basis, the Lions should be there or there abouts come September. I really do think that the gaffer has assembled a team of racers and am looking forward to seeing them give it a right go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 It is a team full racers and expecting some poor gating and sublime passing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
