Sheffield v Leicester 24/09 7:30pm - PO Semi 1st Leg

[40-38]

So tonight we get our first indication of who Belle Vue get to drub in the PO Final. 

Leicester have new British U19 Champion Jody Scott guesting at reserve for Kyle Howarth whilst Sheffield have Max Fricke guesting at no.1.

Despite being a Lions fan I happen to think that Sheffield are probably the only team who might give BV a match in the final.

 

SHEFFIELD: Max Fricke, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen.

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Drew Kemp, Sam Masters, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Jody Scott, Joe Thompson.

Yes, we were lucky that Etheridge stepped up last week, as Holder was poor by his usual standards.

Lions have been very poor away from home recently and it’s difficult to see things being any different this time around. 

[MWC]

Hopefully Chris Anders and Leon will ride like we know they are capable of doing. Nice to see both Jye and Luke really trying over the last few weeks . Last week was a very weak performance by the Team.

We will need a big lead to take to Leicester if we are to reach the final .

I'm sure we all hope for, 14 riders, proper speedway.

Jody’s not the type to get ahead of himself, and he won it 5 days ago, had 2 meetings and your expert opinion is such! Give your head a wobble you dick

Are the Thompson's always dreadful at Owlerton?

Not sure about Joe, but Dan always had an issue at Ipswich of tailing off at the end of seasons after promising campaigns. Seems an ongoing issue with him.

I like Jody, he has great potential but probably a bit out of his depth tonight.

Could Sedgmen been used at 6 for the lions or is he still in Dickson’s bad book

Fricke always seems to go well here. Would be a terrific signing for Sheffield especially now on a reduced average after a poor year at Lynn. 
 

Fricke will be hot property this winter you’d imagine.

Max has been amazing tonight, Pickering not so much.

[Col]

Dan Thompson's 14th-16th laps of the night were finally sensible.

Surprised to seen Pickering struggling tonight.  Not getting out of the gate?

He wasn't that great there in last two meetings against Northampton & Belle Vue. But has stepped it up tonight.
