We haven\u2019t performed to the standards we set ourselves and we know we owe the fans a response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEdinburgh are another tough side and we know there\u2019s no easy meetings in this league, but we\u2019ve got to focus on ourselves. The aggregate point is also within reach being eight points down, so we are aiming for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WORKINGTON: Nicolai Klindt, Vinnie Foord, Drew Kemp, Tate Zischke, Troy Batchelor, Niklas Holm Jakobsen, Max Perry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EDINBURGH: Dan Thompson, Paco Castagna R\/R, Justin Sedgmen, Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Jordy Loftus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SCB Referee: Christina Turnbull<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live Streaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workingtoncomets.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.workingtoncomets.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live Updates: <a href=\"https:\/\/live.britishspeedway.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/live.britishspeedway.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WORKINGTON bid to bounce back from a bruising week when they host play-off chasing Edinburgh at the GT&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822749,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-822748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
