Leicester v Ipswich 8th June


Recommended Posts

For Joe’s own sake I hope they make a change. He’s got no confidence at this level and he’s scoring well for the lower league Leicester team but he was looking really wobbly going into the corners with his handlers twitching all over the place. 
As a neutral it was good meeting to attend and Emil certainly showed his class, Doyle was constantly in his way in heat 13 but at least it goes to show Doyle was putting the effort in as with a GP at the weekend and the meeting lost he could have just gone through the motions. It certainly is different going to a meeting with no particular affiliation to a club, great to see so many ex bees riders of course but viewing wise you don’t get much closer to the action than at Leicester.

PL: 1, 0, 1', 0, 1', 0, 1', 0, 0, 0, 0, 2', 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, R, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1', 0, 1', 1', 0, 0, 0, 1
CL: 1', 1, 0, 0, 3, 1', 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, R, 1', 1', 0, 3, 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 1', 3, 3, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, FX, 0, 0, F, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1', 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0
NL: 3, 3, 2, FX, R, 3, 3, F, R, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Pick the bones out of that!

In a properly structured league those 0's & 1's in the CL would be 1's & 2's. I wonder if any analysis is carried out year on year to see if the strengths of the leagues are right to aid progression and development?

Don't be daft, clubs will vote on what suits them best, nothing else will matter! Look at how long the "rising star" system lasted in the Champ for example!

Judging by the fact that it's now June and he still doesn't have a team suit or team bike covers you can't help but think it can't be long before he's replaced. 

Well they’re risking their season because another home defeat tonight could be curtains for their play off places. Pressure on Rew to win heat 2 just to get a shared heat, because the likelihood is Thompson is coming last! When you have to have one of the weaker number 6’s in the league because you’ve gone so top heavy, you at least need to then get one of the stronger rising stars, and as harsh as it is, Ipswich have the worst.

Ipswich season went kinda ** up once they lost Jack Thomas to injury b4 a wheel was turned, still don't know what the crack is with Kemp/Rowe not being in the team, their both done summit to dirty their bib with Ipswich promotion or they both plain and simple don't fancy a RS birth this season.

Connor Bailey is also on the rising star list and would do a better job. All three of them couldn’t have said no surely? If it’s a case of Louis just not wanting either Kemp or Rowe for whatever reason, then you have to decide whether you want to be stubborn or actually win something. Might explain why Ipswich haven’t won anything under Louis’ promotion.

Rumoured that Kemp is Leicester bound as their RS...

Certainly would be surprised by that, despite Kemp's great guest performance, Dan T has done how job for Leicester. But can't blame a club for trying to be as strong as possible, something Ipswich have chosen not to do!
