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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester & Glasgow both look very good sides to me. Mountain only rode 3 matches at number 5. But rode plenty at number 3. So as heats 8+14 are usually weaker than heat 12, should score more even before allowing for improvement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 699 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he can show how early season Ipswich form, then certainly Leicester will be have a strong reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be in play off picture but not one of favourites imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
