After checking, it appears that the Witches were without Emil and Jason on that occasion.

If you were there you'd have seen. Was 10mph fastest than anyone else in clear air.

I was there, and he scored 11 from 5 rides against a depleted 5 man Witches team that were without their top two. The Leicester top 5 all filled their boots that night, so I wouldn't get carried away from that tbh...

I think it is fair to say Becker is enigmatic, he was poor in the earlier part of the season but performed better later. Unless he can be more consistent he is not worth as place in the team.

I was there also. It was also the night Ipswich’ 3rd strongest home rider (Ellis) crashed in his opening ride and took no further part in the meeting. Becker, and the rest of the Leicester riders had an easy evening.

Stewart's not afraid to make changes and if Becker struggles early on and drops his average then I can see Stewart stamping his authority quite quickly with a team change or two.

I'm not writing Leicester off entirely but as it stands it's not a play-off side.

I went to Leicester a few times last season, great crowd and good banter everytime, and will definetly return this season  and probably not just to watch Ipswich.

I know they had to drop some points, and losing Lawson for Howarth for me is a real kick in the teeth for a good bunch of Supporters, but thats the Points situation i suppose, but i have to say getting Craig Cook back is a disaster in my opinion only, i hope im wrong, but if i was a Leicester fan, that would dissappoint me more than Howarth.

But their Gaffa does change things around, he isnt afraid to do that, so we will wait and see, if Cook wasn't 1st choice, and i expect that is true, then who was??

A lot of people will point to this as they did last season when we signed him... only to have to draft in guests when he inevitably went missing. 

Why we'd be wanting to bring in other teams cast offs when he inevitably goes missing again this season is anybody's guess 🤷‍♂️
