BELLE Vue boss Jim Lynch admits the form of recent signing Dawid Stachyra isa big concern for the Aces.Stachyra, who came into the team to replace countryman Tomasz Piszcz, failed to score against Birmingham on Monday, part of a run of eleven successive last places in twelve outings for the club.Lynch said: "Stachyra remains the big problem after failing to score again.It is a frustrating problem for everyone because he has shown in the past hecan do much better and he has achieved some good scores at Belle Vue inprevious seasons."We've got two weeks to think about it. We've had a hectic schedule and I think all the lads need a break to give them a chance to regroup."

PLYMOUTH'S Lee Smart is to have a skin graft on the leg injury he suffered at Berwick last Saturday.The Devils will use the rider-replacement facility to cover for Smart inthis Friday's home clash with Redcar, although team-mate Jesper Kristiansen,who suffered a bruised shoulder in the same incident, is expected to be fit. And promoter Mike Bowden is expecting his side to be more race-ready this weekend after being edged out at home by Sheffield last week.Bowden said: "We suffered because it was our first Premier League match while Sheffield had already completed eight league matches. So it was not surprising that they had a little more about them, but I was very pleased with the standard of racing."
