The Aces boss is concerned about the c♍urrent form of ﷺtwo team members.

He said: "Matej Ferjan and Tomas Jedrezjak are just not doing it for us and I'm🧸 not very happy with them right now.

"I might need to make some changes to try and get us 🐽up the league table. I don't feel I'm getting the most from my r♉iders at the moment."

Coventry Bees:

Injured Bees star Stuart Robson is hoping to be b🌠ack in action by early next month.

Robson has had the pin removed from his broken thu🀅mb but feels it's too early to be back in the saddle.

He said: "When the𒐪y took the pin out, they said I could ride any time I want, but I couldn't race🌊 just yet.

"It depꦏends on how well the finger heals now but I was starting physio this week and I hope to be riding in another two to three weeks."

Eastbourne Eagles:

Dean Barker is through to the sem🃏i-finals of ✱the world championship qualifying rounds.

Oxford Cheetahs:

Angry Oxford co-promoter Vanessa Purchase is demanding a big improvement from the Cheetahs - or 🍬changes will be made.

Peterborough Panthers:

Peterborough are trying to strengthen their squad in time fo⛎r their next meeting against Eastbourne🦹 on May 22.

Manager Jim Lyncﷺh said: "We have an opportunity to try and strengthen at reserve. We are struggling away from home.

"We are desperate to turn Coventry over in the semi-finals of the Knockout Cജup but we can't do it with the current team so something has to change."

Lynch has stressed that replacing Bager is not necessarily a formality as he is awaiting medical bulletins on injured duo Pio🌺tr Protasiewicz and Hans Clausen.

Pirates will not rush Greg Walasek back into their side after seeing h🐲im returnও from injury.

T𓄧he Pole, who broke his ankle last month, made a surprise return in the Grand Prix at Norway over the weekend.

ಞPirates boss Neil Middleditch said: "We think Greg would benefit from not having to rush back into the hurly - burly of the Elite League.

"He took a couple of nasty tumbles during the Norwegian Gran𓆉d Prix and another week's rest will do him no harm at all."

Poole face Ipswich at Wimborne Road on Wednesday.

Wolverhampton Wolves:

Peter Karlsson is relishing the prospect of ❀Wolverhampton getting back ༒into action against Poole at Monmore next Monday.

Karlsson was as disap♒pointed as anybody with the heavy defeat at Eastbourne last Thursday and the opportunity to bounce back was denied by the rain on Monday.

He said: "We had a𝔉 bad night at Eastbourne, all of us did.

"But one bad result doesn't🅠 make us a bad side and we'll be back, I have no doubt about that.

"It's going to be a good meeting against Poole, I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure we'll see some gre🦹at racing.

"To face the reigning world champion, Tony Rickardsson, is a big challenge for us all."
