WORKINGTON bid to bounce back from a bruising week when they host play-off chasing Edinburgh at the GT Tyres Arena today (Saturday, 6pm).
The Comets suffered home and away defeats to Poole in their last two matches, conceding 61 points at Wimborne Road on Wednesday.
But they are optimistic of returning to winning ways on their home circuit, with former club favourite Nicolai Klindt making a guest appearance at No.1 due to Polish commitments for Jonas Jeppesen, whilst Niklas Holm Jakobsen has been declared fit to race at reserve.
Comets boss James Denham said: “Poole was hugely disappointing because they were the better team, and the same can be said again after Wednesday’s meeting down there. We haven’t performed to the standards we set ourselves and we know we owe the fans a response.
“The only thing we can do now is dust ourselves down, learn from it and make sure we bounce back on Saturday. We want to restore a bit of pride in our performance and show the fighting spirit that this team is capable of producing.
“Edinburgh are another tough side and we know there’s no easy meetings in this league, but we’ve got to focus on ourselves. The aggregate point is also within reach being eight points down, so we are aiming for that.”
WORKINGTON: Nicolai Klindt, Vinnie Foord, Drew Kemp, Tate Zischke, Troy Batchelor, Niklas Holm Jakobsen, Max Perry.
EDINBURGH: Dan Thompson, Paco Castagna R/R, Justin Sedgmen, Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Jordy Loftus.
