The Observer 55 Posted June 2, 2014 Leicester's supporters deserve better from the management. Be honest about the reasons for having to put out so many guests, be honest about who chose the reserves and the rationale behind it. Everyone predicted that the outcome of each match would be determined not by riders 1-5 but by the reserves, therefore why was not more considered thought given to the selection of riders 6 & 7. No one was under any illusions, we all knew that the first season in the EL was going to be tough and it was going to be a question of survival but learning along the way. But the choice of guests in so many meetings whether they be riding at 2, 5, 6 or 7 has been poor too often, with the exception of Sam Masters who has been terrific. Was Marc Owen really the best we could find for Saturday? Was Matt Williamson, on current form, the best we could find for tonight? The answer is NO. So therefore are we simply looking to make up the numbers or are actually seriously determined to score some points in this league Jason Doyle has been exemplary leading from the front like a true No 1, but deep down what the hell must he be thinking?

Getting a good guest at 6 or 7 is difficult. Perry is quite low down the national list, and he isn't allowed to be replaced by anyone above him. Choosing Max Clegg at 7 in the draft was ok as a punt, but it places more onus on no.6 and so far that's where the weakness has been with the exception of BV at home. Granted, Tom Perry has a few years experience but it's been a bit stop/start in terms of his progress and I was surprised Leicester didn't choose differently in the draft at that position. I could be wrong, but seem to recall Stevie Worrall hadn't been picked when Leicester's turn came around and was surprised he wasn't picked. But maybe there were other reasons for that.
