LIONS v BIRMINGHAM 25/4/24
Teromaafan replied to justathought's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Maybe, but you surely have to beat the visitor’s RS? Flint did Joe three times tonight. -
LIONS v BIRMINGHAM 25/4/24

Here’s me thinking that Joe might have turned the corner after his performance last week, but he looked way off the pace again tonight. Very worrying when you can’t get a point at home against the weakest team in the league. I thought that he may have be given a fourth ride in heat 14 instead of Kemp, but no. His confidence must be rock bottom. -

Dickson has since switched Lawson and Becker’s riding positions. With all due respect to Brum, what is he expecting to learn from this tomorrow? I’m yet to be convinced that riding order is a factor in the outcome of a meeting result. -
Kings Lynn vs Sheffield - Monday 22nd April

The BBC forecast is far onerous that that of the Met Office……Luckily for Buster! -
Really, I’ve just bought it five minutes ago?

Dickson has reverted back to the original riding order after the Brum win. Fricke needs to come to the party sooner rather than later. When he does, the riding order of the other four won’t matter.

Birmingham v Leicester 15th April 2024

Any decent rider, IF available would only hold Brum to ransom and want guarantees rather than a performance related deal. Although Tolley did imply that money was not an obstacle in their team building before their full line up was declared. That was always going to bite him in the a*se and I wonder how comfortably he’s sitting lately! -

Must admit, I didn’t think it would be that easy for the Lions. Fricke continues to under perform but everyone contributed for the visitors, with either a win or paid win. I still think that Brum have one of the best reserve pairings (Flint is better than that tonight), but they have no top end or middle order! The assessed averages of their top two would appear to flatter them at the moment but they should be judged in a few weeks time when their actual average will reflect their performances. Dickson’s riding order shuffle will make him look clever tonight, but it would have made no difference to the meeting outcome. In his defence though, I admire him for looking to do something after consecutive home defeats. -

With Scotty in for Lampart, this is possibly the strongest 1-7 Brum will field all season and I’m expecting them to break their duck against the Lions. I can only see the Lions reserve pairing woe continuing comparing with Cook & Flint for the home team. Really don’t get the point of Dickson’s riding order shuffle and I doubt that this will be a factor whatever the result is tomorrow. The weather forecast is putting me off making the trip to Perry Barr and I think I’ll opt for the live stream instead. What is Brum’s stream covering like? -
Joe apparently had a nasty crash last night. If he isn’t fit for the Lions at Brum on Monday, what are the options to cover for an absent RS?
-
It’s a very competitive league this year with teams generally stronger, which is good for the sport. Teams that will make the play offs will be the ones that have top end fire power when scores are tight entering the last three heats. For Leicester to win tight matches, Fricke has to up his game (although tonight he looked a little better) to give the Lions any chance in these situations. The reserves are a worry as many have predicted. At the moment, the Lions are just grateful for wins and bonus points appear to be a pipe dream.
-
Interesting. Riders with the two highest averages paired together (although there’s only a gnats between second and fifth in the averages). I’ve never been convinced that matches are won or lost due to the riding order. I wonder if that is a one off for the Brum match or if he is thinking beyond Monday.
-
Anyone stop to the end to hear what the riders/manager had to say?
-
Fricke has two race wins from three meetings so far, both of those at home. For someone who is first reserve for the GPs, this simply isn’t good enough. Should be delivering double figures at home as a minimum. Started last season similarly, but could be excused for being unfamiliar with the track. Needs to get his finger out PDQ because you cannot carry your No.1.
-
Agreed. Both teams built similarly, strong 1 to 5 but weak reserves. I’m hoping that home advantage will see us over the line. Lions to win by 6 or 8 points.
