The twins are still only 17 (nearly 18) and rowe is a youngster too. Onwards and upwards Twins and Rowe surely did what was expected tonight? Top 4 that let you down IMO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,073 Posted April 19, 2022 I know still early in the season but Leicester aren't going to win anything if they don't sort out their away form. 20 point loss and a 30 point loss with the team they have? Shouldn't be happening imo. But well done Plymouth on their win, very good performance from them. Gating and passing they didn't put a foot wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,843 Posted April 19, 2022 Worrying signs from Leicester over the last week, they looked on paper title contenders but performing nothing like it on the road. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,273 Posted April 19, 2022 Few team changes needed at Leicester already. Shouldn't be losing that heavily on the road twice back-to-back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 5,206 Posted April 19, 2022 I don't get why loads of people keep criticising the twins away form when it's the top 3 that have been letting us down away from home. Morris has looked a million dollars at home, a proper No 1, but away he's been woeful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 593 Posted April 19, 2022 7 minutes ago, Jaizer said: Twins and Rowe surely did what was expected tonight? Top 4 that let you down IMO Fair comment. The team was built with a strong top three. At home, visitors will do well to gain a point. Away, the big guns need to score well to keep things tight going into the final three races, where two big hitters will get you over the line or look to at least salvage a point. Lions have now been spanked away by two teams who many will see as being borderline play off contenders. Having watched the stream the track appeared to be slick and dusty which no doubt accounted for the lack of passing. As disappointed as I was with my track observations (which grates when I read of the constant criticism of the Lions track), the score margin cannot be excused. With the clubs expectation of a play off spot as an absolute minimum, the obvious imbalance of home and away performances ( to date) would suggest that it would be very difficult to overcome another top six team over two legs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,471 Posted April 19, 2022 The heat leaders are over the hill .IMO They will do a job at home though,whether that’s good enough to win the League is doubtful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna be burnt out by play off time at this rate. Apparently only on day 5 out of 10, just had to check SM lol.

I think been built to the same method as Poole. Really need top 3 firing every match and bottom 4 to score their average away to get a result. If the top 3 don't fire what happened this week is the outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike0310 663 Posted April 19, 2022 Just got back through the door,Plymouth would have beat anyone tonight they were so good Barker was imperious I’m hearing how poor Leicester were that’s because we made them look poor really surprised how bad Morris was and it would have been even worse if Andersen didn’t just get done on the way to the line. Roll on Scunthorpe next week this result will make a few teams sit up and take note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the top 3 don't fire what happened this week is the outcome I think our top 3 is better than theirs personally, I wouldn't swap it The difference between Poole and Leicester away at the moment is a reserve scoring well..? And at least 2 HL's doing well too (helps obvs!) Anyway I am off topic, I don't think Leicester will or should make changes as suggested. The team is fine, they just not got going away from home yet.

Trust me, Stewart isn't against making changes for the sake of it..saw it at Glasgow many times!! But yeah I mean what could you change? A heat leader and Rowe for what sedgeman and Sam Jensen or something? Is that any stronger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it Kennett won't be back in time for 3rd May fixture, be interesting to see what guest they pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
