For me tho it's The Twins that are not good enuff away from home & will most likely cost the Lions again when it comes to the business end of the season. Still, Lions will make the playoffs & plenty of time for Dickson to kick rearendum's! Maybe the Twins will move on to solids before then?!

lisa-colette 6,022 Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Surely aim is just to get top 6 then whole different ball game (not literally ). And then it is whoever has the best form and the least amount of injuries in the playoffs. Edited April 23, 2022 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justathought 374 Posted April 23, 2022 I don't think Leicester have the riders to win the league. Good at home, but over two legs not strong enough. The twins are not yet good enough, I'm sure they will be eventually given time. If the heat leaders have a bad night I'm afraid we lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevethelion 192 Posted April 23, 2022 Said when the team was announced it had 3 heat leaders, 1 average 2nd string & 3 reserves. The twins can only ride Leicester, this means unless the 3 heat leaders all get double figures, they're not going to get many points on the road. You can't carry 2 riders & expect to win on your travels. Admire the loyalty shown to them & not saying they should be dropped, but for this year there's no way Leicester will beat the likes of Poole & Glasgow over 2 legs. Might scrape into the play-offs, but that's about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might scrape into the play-offs, but that's about it. Hard to disagree with any of your points. I would be amazed if another team comes to Leicester and claimed three points and I think that, with the odd away bonus point, or even one win, will be enough to secure a play off position. The reliance on big home wins will then find the Lions wanting when it comes to two leg matches against Poole and Glasgow (although tonight was good!). I’m sure Dickson (along with every other team manager) is constantly looking at replacement options for when he feels certain individuals can no longer be carried. The problem at the moment though seems to be a general shortage of riders in the sport. Dickson is a winner but I think he will need to be patient with what he’s got for now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted April 24, 2022 One of the biggest disappointments is the Leicester track. They had a blank canvas and came up with that. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
