Mudgway: We must improve
Redcar team boss Jade Mudgway has fired a warning to his septet ahead of the Bears crucial return clash against Edinburgh this Sunday, 17:00 start at the Ecco Arena. The Kiwi said, “We must improve as a team, at the moment we are not performing as a team that are tipped for the play-offs. Quite simply we need to sort ourselves out and up our game.”
The former Berwick rider believes his side will improve on home shale, “We can’t have a performance like Friday on Sunday, although under different circumstances the Leicester result (in a league standpoint) is a similar result to the Edinburgh one. Having said that, I believe we will improve on Sunday and be a better team at the Ecco Arena.”
The Kiwi also believes clubs should have a lower points limit to deal with the lack of riders in British Speedway, “I think a lower points limit is the way to go forward as there is a shortage of riders unfortunately. At the moment, we are going to try and work with what we have got. We have got to make the right change at the right time.”
Despite recent results, Mudgway is confident ahead of the clash, “I believe we will turn up on Sunday and show what we are capable of. I think we will turn them over and come away with the win we most definitely need.”
Redcar welcome back Charles Wright having missed Friday’s match after his crash riding for his Premiership team, Belle Vue. Jordan Jenkins is still absent with a knee injury with Ben Morley contiuning to deputise in his absence. On the other side of the pits, Edinburgh welcome back Lasse Fredriksen from a European qualifier whilst Kyle Bickley guests at reserve in place of James Sarjeant.
