lionking 127 Posted February 15, 2016 Paddy messed the club around last time agreed but i also think he comes back a more mature person & rider who maybe feels he has unfinished business with us. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance . In other news i hear a rumour Norrie Allen is applying to become a Danish citizen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 valve 558 Posted February 15, 2016 On the face of it, although clearly lacking an out and out number 1 aka Jason D, this line up has the feeling of solid scoring about it. The top 5 all have experience in the UK whilst the reserve pairing is widely acknowledged as one of the strongest. As a result, I can see Lions riders finishing first on more occasions than last and hence quite a few meeting wins. Obviously the risk of injuries could influence matters, but is applicable to any team. Now worth looking forward to the new season. Good luck with the track Glyn - hope the weather is kind to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionking 127 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) He got injured all throughout his recovery told them he would be back then at last minute told them he had a change of heart & would not be returning to me that was messing them about.

beckettlion 195 Posted February 15, 2016 Paddys injury was a nasty one.. Don't think he let us down. But his signing isn't exactly inspiring. Strength at reserve is big for us. Don't think it'll be long til Wozniak is a heat leader. Destined for another wooden spoon battle I fear. Won't stop me getting down to support the boys as much as I can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I personally think this team looks weaker than last year's. Leicester will be relying heavily on their reserves. How many of the available points have they used in team building? Edited February 15, 2016 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeicesterLion39 55 Posted February 15, 2016 I personally think this team looks weaker than last year's. Leicester will be relying heavily on their reserves. How many of the available points have they used in team building? Its bound to look weaker for a start at Number 1 as no-one could replace Doyley, for a start we are much better at reserve and i dont thinkwe will be relying on them as much as you think. Klindt's average is 3.53 so he has the ability to put at least 2 points on that, Wozniak is more than capable of putting a point on his average now he has seen the away tracks, Ulamek will i have no doubt maintain his average or put half o a point on at least, and Walasek can also put a point on his average adn so can Hougaard. All in all i think we have a well balanced team who will surprise a few teams this season. Oh and just remember the reserves will chop and change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like Paul Starke will be key........providing the 1-6 do what they can, and don't go getting injured all over the place or bugger off when other things get more tempting (but that's a very big "IF"). I don't think the No.7 is able to move into the 1-5, he's fixed at 7 for the season. Basically a side built within a tight budget, especially with no main sponsors at the moment. Makes you wonder how they could have afforded Doyle this season anyway. Heats 13 & 15 could be a problem against several teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weatherwatcher 664 Posted February 15, 2016 I can see me spending more time at Darley Moor, this year than at BP. Will just have to see how things go, but not much in the way of being optomistic about things so far. May be in for a suprise, thought Norrie said at the end of season speach, track side, that there was no way that they would be having any Danes in the team again, so what happened.
