PANTHERS SITTING PRETTY

PETERBOROUGH boss Rob Lyon is making the best use of a clear week as his side looks down on the rest of the Premiership.

Last Thursday’s emphatic victory at local rivals King’s Lynn put the Panthers four points ahead of Belle Vue, who can draw level with a big win at Ipswich tonight (Thursday) – although they are unlikely to overhaul the Alwalton men on race points.

Lyon said: “I wouldn’t say we’ve been full-on, but we’ve been racing at home every Monday along with away matches on some Thursdays, so this week is our chance to take stock and then go again against Sheffield next Monday.

“I know I keep saying it’s early days, but we’re not yet halfway through the regular season in terms of matches, and there’s such a long way to go.

“We all know how speedway can turn so we’ve just got to keep the boys going, keep them out of trouble and keep on plugging away with getting these wins.”
