Woffinden's first season as Wolves' skipper has been inconsistent

Strong performances from Freddie Lindgren and Nicolai Klindt spurred Wolves to a 54-39 Elite League victory over Ipswich at Monmore Green.

Swede Lindgren grabbed four heat wins in a 14-point haul, Klindt capably backing him up with 12.

But skipper Tai Woffinden had another modest evening, claiming only six points from his four rides.

"He's a quality kid and he'll come good when it matters," Wolves team manager Peter Adams told BBC WM.

"I think he's got a bit of an equipment issue to go with various other problems."

He's an important cog in the machine and everybody at the moment is just trundling along. Peter Adams on Danish star Nicolai Klindt

Adams was happier with the performance of the 21-year old Danish star Klindt.

"We had a team meeting before we started because I've spotted one or two weaknesses in his game.

"He tried to address them tonight and I think it largely worked - he's an important cog in the machine and everybody at the moment is just trundling along."

Scott Nicholls was the star turn for the Witches, his 16 points including a maximum six from a tactical ride, with Pole Robert Miskowiak adding 11.

The two sides meet again at Foxhall on Thursday when Ipswich will hope to have Ales Dryml back from Czech League duty.
