Not surprised you put Harry Maguire twice as he plays for Man Utd so is used to getting a beating!!

Wait for it…

The end is nigh. We’re doomed. Sack everybody and replace them with somebody else who I won’t name because I can’t think of anybody is any better, but that’s not the point…

Fair play to Leicester, deserved winners on the night and could have been a bigger margin if not for mechanical gremlins. We just started off too slowly and never really looked like winning.

When was the last time we were 12 points down at home?

And thank you to BSN for wishing my dad a happy birthday at the end 👍

The only positive I can take from that is that the ice cream was nice and it was only the cup.. or is that clutching at straws? 
 

Jack Holder and Sedgmen apart the rest were woeful. Big improvements needed, every time has a dip this seems to be ours. Pickering couldn’t gate what so ever, Rowe wasn’t much better. Kerr as per round Owlerton struggling for speed. 
 

Leicester riders attacked the track and looked comfy. Howarth as expected rode well, Fricke looked very good was a great ride to beat Holder in heat 15 he held his line well and deserved the win. Good luck in the final 🦁

On Sunday Will Cairns will celebrate his 16th birthday. Does that mean he'll be eligible to become a "Rising Star"?... 'cos Sheffield need one!

I doubt Will Cairns will want to do Premiership yet but I would think he would go to Belle Vue if he did.

Don't think it's a case of Sheffield being poor on the night, I just think Leicester are a very good side and R/R is making them even stronger.

Howarth and Kemp have upped their game this year and Douglas is getting better, Masters returning to his old rock solid Wolves form backing up a proper No.1 in Fricke who's dialled in on every British track now.

Even Leicester Fans think he will end up at Belle Vue next season.

BSN having a howler with the graphics tonight.

It's entertaining. If that's the only thing we can criticise, I think we're lucky. Given their resources, I think BSN put on a good show. At least they try to focus the camera on where the real race is happening, unlike TNT. This is the first year that I've subscribed, but it won't be the last.

Yes I agree BSN do an excellent job, in general commentary and the interviews are good, even Adam Roynon is bearable at times!

If the promotion was serious they would drop Sedgmen, Kerr and Rowe, and bring in BZ, Laguta and Lebedevs...:D

Need to be ruthless, there are riders out there, etc etc etc...:D

Chris Holder is the issue at the moment he isn’t riding like a second heat leader 

I would say Jack and Rowe are doing their jobs and a lesser degree Pickering 

He's lacking race sharpness imo.

Found himself at a clown show club in Poland where he doesn't get regular meetings and everyone is arguing with each other off the track.

Doesn't race in Sweden either.

Well past his best,mediocre in Poland. Rybnik need to bin Pedersen though just cause trouble with Teammates  every meeting.

I think Pedersen might have binned it himself walking off, rules state he didn’t even get paid that solitary point he had in the last match when he walked out. On the media news they are saying he might not return although Rybnik are that bad they still need him 😂

Maybe he could do that covid season at Sheffield he never got to do 🤔
