Panthers stuck in a rut - Swales

Speedway

Peterborough Panthers will be looking to end a run of six straight defeats when they travel to Belle Vue in the Elite League on Monday.

Panthers are currently one point off the bottom of the Elite League table and have only won once away from home all season.

Team manager Trevor Swales told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "Certainly something has to change.

"We've got into a rut of losing and it's a rut we've got to get out of."

Whilst Belle Vue have been strong at home, with only once defeat so far this season, they have struggled on the road.

However Swales believes the Manchester side will be challenging for a place in the top four come August.

"I just think people are writing Belle Vue off at their peril to be honest," he said.

"They're a good team...they're led by Jason Crump who I still think is probably the best rider in the world."

With Ty Proctor unavailable, Edinburgh's Andrew Tully will guest at reserve against Belle Vue in place of Henrik Moller.
