Domination, we're well on our way to the play-offs and we're going there with a sense of determination and an air of confidence, Craig Cook doesn't take no for an answer! Morris has been a revelation since signing and It's brilliant to see Perry and NBJ back to their best, good to see Holub get paid 3 tonight; a solid performance from him.

A perfect week in August with beautiful sunshine, kids off school and no speedway decides to take a break. Then they wonder why the sport is dying... Imagine a nightclub not opening on a Friday/Saturday night.

A defeat tonight and It's curtains for the Witches and their play-off hopes.

Anyone drinking at the Brewers arms? I'm in my red harrington if anyone wants to say hi.

Just had a lovely meal at Amran's, a wonderful restaurant. Can't wait for this meeting!

We'll win, we're the Panthers and we have Craig Cook.

Absolute nonsense about Cook being dropped. He would tear his left limb apart to ride for the Panthers and Ged knows that.

When you have Craig Cook; you always have a chance.

Should Woffinden be allowed into the league on a 7 point average? He's clearly a much better rider than that.

Just lumped some money on Wolves winning the league at 7/1.

Jonas dropped; Woffinden is coming in...

Apparently Berwick have a German rider and they'll be using R/R for him.

A tough meeting for the Panthers ahead with NBJ missing and R/R operating in his place; Craig Cook will be his usual fantastic self but the Panthers will need to back him up If they want to take anything out of this meeting. As for the Monarchs; I wonder whether the German license issue is going to affect them?

This is going to be a four point away win!

As a Panthers fan, I don't feel any need to travel to other tracks. It's like having a Marks & Spencer next door but travelling a hundred miles to visit Tesco's.

Craig Cook will drag the Panthers over the line; best rider in the league by a mile.

Maybe not Blackbird but what about Tero Aarnio? He would be a good second string.

What do people make of this side? 1. Craig Cook - 10.17 2. Emil Grondal - 5.26 3. Anders Thomsen - 6.62 4. Lewis Blackbird - 6.16 5. Ulrich Ostergaard - 8.08 6. Zdenek Holub - 3.07 7. Draft Rider - 3.00 = 42.36 Three out and out number 1's, solid second strings in Grondal and Blackbird and Holub is capable of picking up points at reserve.

Credit has to go to the Monarchs for delivering a ruthless and clinical display; It's quite clear that the Panthers really need to find some consistency. The fans need to get behind the riders and the club, we currently have a great chance of making the playoffs but we need to be united. Holub is struggling at the moment but I have spoken to him on numerous occasions and he's trying ridiculously hard to try and get the correct set up, NBJ is a talented rider who on his day can beat anyone and Emil Grondal is exactly the same; consistency is the issue but I'm confident that we can make everything click.

We're going to hammer Edinburgh. We have Craig Cook.

I'll bet any Ipswich fan £1000 that the Panthers finish above them. Anyone brave enough to take my bet or are Witches chickens?

Anders won't come in to replace NBJ, they are very good mates.

We have Craig Cook, the best rider in the PL. We'll finish in the Top 4 and anything can happen in the playoffs.

I think with Cook in the side, It would have certainly been a different story. Tungate and Josh G went unbeaten, easy task when you're not riding against the PL's number one.

I spoke to Craig earlier on and he was gutted about missing this trip; Somerset is a brilliant track and he was confident of us picking up an away win and I agree with him.
