Whilst Danny had his poorest meeting of the season it’s well worth remembering that his scores ALL season have got us into the playoffs 

100%, If it wasn't for King and Musielak's performances then we would've finished last without a shadow of doubt.

King has stepped up from the get go this season and has shown why the club has so much faith in him, After losing Emil and Doyley in the winter, The club needed riders to step up and Danny has done that and more.

Musielak is a No.1 in this league, Fans think he underperforms when having the No.1 on his back but his performances as a No.1 are due to the Clubs he raced for, Get Tobi at a professionally run Club like Ipswich or Sheffield and he'll fill his boots 9 times out of 10.

I'd rather have Musielak than what a lot of people on here are putting in Woryna. He is an accident waiting to happen on the tighter British tracks.

I think you can apply that to any track😁

Hurry got away with one there. Going in to heat 12 Pedersen had two points from three rides, Edwards was unbeaten on paid nine and the switch wasn’t made. As it happens, Pedersen rode well to secure a vital second which saved the managers bacon but that was an error that shouldn’t have happened.

Or, he was a master tactician there. Pedersen secured a great 2 points whereas Edwards'last ride was a zero, so good job he didn't switch in that race. 😁

Good night for most of the Witches, Lawson was fab. I don't think I've ever seen it so slick at Leicester, from watching on the TV that is.

He got away with that Speedy! It was an error whichever way you slice it 😁 needs to be more on the ball than that in the future otherwise it WILL inevitably bite us on the @rse. Yeah Edwards ran a last in his fourth ride, but all his momentum had gone. A long time to sit in the pits twiddling your thumbs between heat eight and fourteen.

Anyway…..

I agree but he doesn’t come without risks though. He’s been prone in the past to have a good season and become an 8+ pointer, then follow it up with a stinker and go back to six and a half.

We've seen it for sure but he was racing for Birmingham and King's Lynn at the time.

Birmingham were a mess and most top riders do seem to have a problem with the King's Lynn management.

Think the final decision will come down to how many points Mayfield have left to use after Woryna, King, Brennan and a strong No.6 tbh as I can't see King being released due to his off track leadership.

According to Stewart's post match interview a rider who shall remain anonymous (but easy to guess) refused to come out for another ride which led to Joe Thompson having to take three rides on the trot.

I now fully understand some of the criticism from some Leicester supporters about Drew Kemp. You can excuse riders having an absolute stinker of a meeting (every rider has them) if they’re seen as still making an effort, but twice last night he just gave up whilst at the back. That would do my head in if he was in my team. 
 

His attitude is poor.

Kemp is very frustrating - when on Thompson's engine at Foxhall he was superb but last night total toilet.  I get that the track was balder than Right Said Fred and offered almost nothing but his gating was so bad.

Should never be accepted. Should request the rider get a 28 day ban for withholding their services & get a guest!

I think it's less to do with equipment, although his is not the best, but more to do with a mental block if things are going wrong. He seems to lose his head completely, which is a shame as he's not a bad rider.

If my understanding is correct he tried one of his European engines last night and it just didn't work.

Not just that but I am told got changed before the end of the meeting after a telling off from Stewart who was fuming with his attitude

Totally agree because in any other job, refusing a reasonable request from your manager is a disciplinary matter.

So is not finishing your job, and stopping many times without any good reason before it is completed...

Promoters certainly let the tails wag the dogs, and it does them little favour..

Even worse, they lose even more respect by still giving certain riders jobs...
