I dont think there are people on this forum that want to see the team fall on its face ( I certainly dont) I have supported this club for 30 yrs through thick and thin,at home and a lot of away games, Spent a lot of my hard earned cash along the way. I felt let down and dissapointed last sunday by a very poor team and what is bothering me most is that after the last 2 or 3 seasons where we have done really well and now we are facing our toughest season for a lot of years we dont seam to have the ability/skill and players to do ourselves justice this year. Hopefully sunday was a blip and we can kick on and play some good rugby and create a winning team. I fully support Paul, Carl the players and always will. Looking forward to sunday and seeing a team with a point to prove. COYD.

Well said, I would hate for Paul to get downhearted by this, we need him badly.
And Carl, I just think he is great.

The full team is:

Keinhorst
Handley
Sutcliffe

Other news: Championship clubs are going to have to declare a 19 man squad for their games 48 hours before kick off from this season. This means we should know on Friday afternoons who is going to be playing on Sunday, which will remove some of the mystery with regards to which DR players will be turning out.

Anyone know what our side will be?

Re: Dons pre-season matches : Sun Feb 01, 2015 5:15 pm  

Today's game?
We competed well in the first half and then normal service was resumed in the second.
We are in tatters ...
Fook me, this experiment with youngsters is a DISASTER!

It's not a a long way from Doncaster to disaster is it?

God help us!

We did well for 50 minutes, then I think the efforts of the first half began to take their toll.

It wasn't as bad as some people think..

Thank you the two club apologists.
Less subjective opinions are welcomed.
