Got to feel sorry for the Workington fans that paid there hard earned money to travel up to watch what seems to be a total embarrassing performance. 

Totally unacceptable, some comets riders need to take a long hard look in the mirror. 

At least it seems rasser an mason had ago, the others (apart from Rene) should hang the head in shame

After the opening four heats, it looked like Monarchs would be toiling to build a decent first leg lead, and even after eight heats they had only built up an 8 point advantage.

However they won every one of the remaining seven heats to add a further 20 point advantage to end up with a 28 point lead to defend at Derwent Park today.

It might appear that this should be enough to progress to the Final, but it would be premature to write-off Worky yet, given that guest Jake Allen could be a game changer for the home side and the enigma that is Nicolai Klindt, could well go from zero to hero!

Re yesterday's match, it did not appear that the track was overly grippy, and Jensen's third to last victory in ht1 indicated that the visitors should have been able to compete with the home big guns.

Why Comets suddenly slumped in the second half of the match was a mystery, even allowing for the withdrawal of  Bach, who had not been outstanding in his two rides anyway.

If Bach is unfit to take his place tonight, I reckon he is currently no. 4 in the averages which would mean Allen, Jensen, & the reserves (probably Campton gaining 2 extra rides along the way), covering his rides, so this should not weaken the home side.

Interesting scenario is that Bach becomes no 1 for October, so if he is still unfit, then the Comets would be able to use a guest  & r/r  permutation for  Bach & Bewley in their Play-Off semi with Glasgow.

There is nothing wrong with the Edinburgh track regarding shape or size,just takes abit of skill to master it.

Workington just gifted the monarchs this tie.....

What an absolute awful choice of guest in Kevin Doolan. Was going to make the trip up but after watching his efforts guesting for us at Newcastle the other week I'm now going to stay at home

Will put up the same argument as at Newcastle.

Kev beat 4 Edinburgh riders and 3 Workington riders beat 1 Edinburgh rider between them.
