That's why Thunder are unbeaten since appointing a new coach then is it?

I don't know the background to the Thunder management change. Maybe there could have been a change in player attitude when the new coach arrived? Perhaps they didn't get on with their previous coach? We don't know.

Regarding the Dons, I don't think we have an attitude problem amongst the players, the problem we have is that the players Gary Thornton brought in simply aren't good enough. No matter how good a coach Richard Horne may or may not be, it doesn't surprise me that he's not been able to make a few adjustments in the short time he's been here to put right all the wrongs we had before.

We've got to give Richard Horne a fair chance. None of this is his fault.

Peter Green and Co had good results and now we have slipped back

Do you guys expect instant miracles? A new coach will be asking players to do some things differently and it doesn't always fit into place straightaway. Cut the guy a bit of slack for heaven's sake.

Remove the rose tinted glasses and you may then realise the club is going nowhere under this management.Supporters are leaving in numbers because the whole set up is a joke.When compared to the Knights they beat Club Doncaster in every department both on and off the field.No wonder the Knights wouldn't entertain joining Club Doncaster,they didn't want to be associated with a Comedy Club.Looking forward to the next ITD for another instalment of bull.

By the management of Club Doncaster do you include Richard Horne who has only been here a few weeks . The problems have been evident over the past few seasons ! Poor recruitment of players .

I do not have any rose tinted glasses. I have plenty of issues with the Club Doncaster too.

I do understand why you have issues with Club Doncaster but it appears as though you seem unable to view the matter with Richard Horne objectively because of your poor opinion of Club Doncaster. You're drawing a link between the two when there isn't one.

Richard Horne is not to blame for anything.

Quite agree DM, RH will do a good job if he's allowed to. I hope he will insist the relics in the squad will be replaced with younger players from which a more successful squad can emerge. Having five over 35s in the present squad is doing nothing to acheiving the famous five-year plan. How can any progress be made with so many zimmer frames clattering around ?
RH, just like GT are used to working with younger players so allow RH to work unhindered from pressure from the senoir players and others. The status quo will remain ie. a top eight squad until basic ideas change and a top four then top two squad is reached.
Donny are going nowhere, in fact they are slipping back and nowt will change until CH changes his recruitment policy.

Good point we have a winger who has been around a bit who played last night who is having a bad time & an 18th man & another winger out of favour sat in the stand .

our recruitment has been poor for a few years , CH will blame the coach but he has to take more responsibility ! I could say more but better not .

I await ITD 7/7/17
