Speedway: Sheffield boss Simon Stead's views on superheat win over Leicester

Transcript

00:00Samuel, what was your reaction tonight after the meeting went to a superheat?

00:04Well, I'm disappointed but, you know, draw is not really what we're about here at Sheffield

00:13but, you know, I think we are still struggling with RR for tights,

00:19an incredibly difficult position in the team to fill, almost impossible.

00:24So, I think that's taken a lot out of us

00:27and, you know, I'm just glad that we've come away with the league points tonight

00:34because, you know, we've been up against it.

00:37Leicester really came and hit us hard and ultimately took it to a superheat

00:43which is, you know, it's great for the crowd they're getting extra heat

00:47but not great for my nerves but just proud that the lads got it done in the end.

00:51How did you feel that the riders dealt with the pressure at the end there?

00:55Ah, superbly but, you know, if you can't, if you can't,

00:59if the holder of us can't deal with the pressure, you know, in that sort of way,

01:02you know, we're talking about a former world champion

01:04and somebody who's right up there at the points end of the Grand Prix standings.

01:07So, we're fortunate in that respect that we've got some people in the team

01:11that can deal with that pressure and, look, it was nice that we got the job done in the end

01:16but we know that we need to improve quite significantly.

01:21We're not on a great run at the moment, we're sort of limping home a little bit

01:26but some improvement would be good, we'll work hard on it.
