Given our Friday race days and the known availability problems of  Polish riders already contracted to their homeland clubs at weekends,  not a surprise that the Polis signing backfired. Next week's KO Cup matches against Worky could determine whether Monarchs  miserable run of results continues the downward spiral. Therefore let's hope there's positive moves to replace the deserting Polis before Friday.    

Using r/r at one I'd keep the same riding order. Heat 1: Brennan Heat 5/6: King Then if Dan T is going better than Ellis Heat 10/11: Dan T Heat 13: Sayfutdinov If Ellis is going better than Dan T Heat 10/11: Sayfutdinov Heat 13: Ellis Get well soon Jason

Is Stanislav Melynchuk still living in the UK?   Could he be a left field choice at Edinburgh or Plymouth if suggestion of Cliff leaving play out?   I saw him score a handy 10 in the Speedway of Nations Semi Final at Belle Vue last year - could be worth a punt with limited options    Interested to know if he's ever been on any clubs radars after the Speedway Star ran an article on his arrival in the UK 

Plymouth have 3 more matches with Klindt on his starting average, after that they could replace Cluff with a heat leader. Cluff will be at reserve for those 3 matches, so could give him a chance to pick up his scoring at number 6?

An entertaining close meeting from the much-maligned Plymouth track. And a gutsy, determined performance from the depleted Monarchs. A vast improvement from Kye Thomson and Jonatan Grahn (who both deserved to be in Heat 15) and all riders contributing. Disappointing to lose at the end but you have to hand it to Ben Barker in the final heat with a fine outside pass on Kye, who had passed Barker in an earlier heat. Well done to Plymouth whose supporters create a great atmosphere and must've been delighted with their last heat win after being 8 down. Can't believe all the negative pissing and moaning by Edinburgh 'supporters' on here.

+Kerr.Ref should call the races back and give warning and at least that is being consistent.Half the time the riders don’t know if the race is going to be stopped.Some good racing with an outside line on the track.
