A loss here and I can see them missing the play offs with opportunities like this. An away win here, would certainly be a massive boost to their play-off hopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Pathetic from the Lions tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) I'd hate to be Lions manager, you just don't know what you're going to get from any rider, meeting to meeting or race to race... except for Richard Lawson, Mr Dependable. Piss poor performance from the captain again tonight, Hagon shows promise, I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him round BP though, he ain't going to turn this team around though, nor was he expected to. Kemp must be on borrowed time. Schlein put himself in the shop window tonight, he wasn't that fast but I think it's the most aggressive I've ever seen him ride.

You just look at this team and you can't ever see the top 5 all having a good night altogether. With struggling reserves you've got no chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Fricke turns in some very poor performances over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Only going by the Updates website, but an average performance from Fricke would have got the Lions over the line. Dickson will be furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaldSpeed Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Am I right in thinking Gate 1 got a paid win in 13 of the 15 races? Gate 1 only lost a race to an opponent in heat 4 (Sam Hagon 2nd, beaten by Tai) and Heat 12 (Drew, paid 2nd, beaten by Holder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Leicester should've made changes ages ago. A side that just doesn't click on any night, Always seems to be at least one passenger in the 1-5 and it costs the Lions every time. Kemp useless.

Cue Ball Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 A much improved performance from Kyle tonight and we needed it to get us over the line. Admirable mention to Schlein - dropped a point in his 3rd ride seemingly trying to team ride and then 2 brilliant rides to finish off his night. C Holder is akin to having a third no.1 at home. As somebody near me said - he rides like a former world champ. Tai finished a few in a different postcode, and then a couple where he struggled to get anywhere. Looked like he went through the tapes in purpose - trouble with his bike? Great ride by Mulford to win a heat. Fricke - what’s that about?? One heat win against a reserve and Tai off 15m is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Well Leicester may well rue that match - well done to the Tigers and very pleased to see better form for Kyle H Wasn't there tonight but for those interested - gate 3 watch - 0 2' 1 1' 1 0 0 1 3 1 2' 2 3 2' 1 (heat winners were Holder snr and Tai). Again better scoring after heat 8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Sheffield missing riders, lost a chance of away points that other play-off rivals wouldn't be expecting to get.

They just haven’t gelled and Fricke is one of the worst number ones. Not quite as bad as Oxford or Birmingham tho but not far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howarth got points needed but still not overly impressed, Schlein put himself about great guest booking. Edwards looked well in heat 2 then nowhere.. Woffy C Holder did their jobs very well and saw it through. Need Pickering back asap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Howarth - his scores appear to have picked up for both Scunny and Sheffield in the last week so lets see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refreshing to see an injured rider turn up to support his team... a move a lot of other riders could learn from Picko is hugely impressive as a "team" man and often comes across as he cares a hell of a lot more than a lot of his various team mates 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 Tai Woffinden had a front puncture in the ht11, that’s why he purposely touched the tapes. Quick thinking but unfortunately the track wasn’t conducive to overtaking last night, think Kyle Howarth made five passes (two in one race) that were after lap 1 bend 2 apart from that can’t really remember any others apart from that. By the way great to see Kyle back on it last night, he’s tried absolutely everything to get his season on track including arranging a practice session on Tuesday this week to try get a set up working at Owlerton, by the way if there’s a video of ht15 with his battle with Lawson including the hairy moment off bend 4 into the home straight I’d love to see that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
