Pretty poor away from Leicester again tonight. Seems to have been way with lots of meetings this season, teams seem set up for big home wins. Can't think of many competitive meetings so far in the champ

Lets hope tomorrow is!! ;) Leicester just not gating and that is most of the battle at Plymouth.

Yeah true. Richie surprising me, so good round armadale. 

Your top 3 be competitive everywhere I'd imagine. Looking forward to tomorrow, battles between the top boys should be good

Edinburgh vs Berwick on Friday night past was! :wink: Should’ve shown that rather than the borefest  at your place!

No argument here. Don't get me wrong was 2/3 good races, cookies now obligatory last to first, ulle and stormy had good battle. But let's face it a competitive match is what would keep people's interest

Poor from the lions tonight. Think our team is still learning about different tracks. The twins are still only 17 (nearly 18) and rowe is a youngster too. Onwards and upwards

Twins and Rowe surely did what was expected tonight? Top 4 that let you down IMO

I know still early in the season but Leicester aren't going to win anything if they don't sort out their away form. 20 point loss and a 30 point loss with the team they have? Shouldn't be happening imo. 

But well done Plymouth on their win, very good performance from them. Gating and passing they didn't put a foot wrong.

I don't get why loads of people keep criticising the twins away form when it's the top 3 that have been letting us down away from home. Morris has looked a million dollars at home, a proper No 1, but away he's been woeful

Fair comment. The team was built with a strong top three. At home, visitors will do well to gain a point. Away, the big guns need to score well to keep things tight going into the final three races, where two big hitters will get you over the line or look to at least salvage a point.

Lions have now been spanked away by two teams who many will see as being borderline play off contenders. Having watched the stream the track appeared to be slick and dusty which no doubt accounted for the lack of passing. As disappointed as I was with my track observations (which grates when I read of the constant criticism of the Lions track), the score margin cannot be excused.

With the clubs expectation of a play off spot as an absolute minimum, the obvious imbalance of home and away performances ( to date) would suggest that it would be  very difficult to overcome another top six team over two legs.

He said he just done 10 meetings in 10 days, maybe he needs a rest! Gonna be burnt out by play off time at this rate. 

Apparently only on day 5 out of 10, just had to check SM lol.

I think been built to the same method as Poole. Really need top 3 firing every match and bottom 4 to score their average away to get a result. If the top 3 don't fire what happened this week is the outcome

Just got back through the door,Plymouth would have beat anyone tonight they were so good Barker was imperious I’m hearing how poor Leicester were that’s because we made them look poor really surprised how bad Morris was and it would have been even worse if Andersen didn’t just get done on the way to the line. Roll on Scunthorpe next week this result will make a few teams sit up and take note.
