Re: Leigh v Dons Sunday 14th September 3pm : Sun Sep 14, 2014 5:50 pm  

A solid effort today and one at 14-6 up we could've gone on to win, we blew 2 great chances at this stage and then allowed Leigh back in the game through a series of individual errors and penalties, this gave Leigh confidence after their supporters were getting restless, and with the quality they have allowed them to forge into a half time lead that actually flattered them.

The start of the 2nd half was a cagey affair with both teams making errors, the Dons again were guilty of blowing gilt edged scoring opportunities and eventually Leigh took advantage with more clinical finishing, the final score line didn't reflect the chances and problems we caused Leigh who have a lot of quality, although we all know they can be beaten, if we had played to this standard I would've been at fev today and batley wouldn't have lost to the seagulls yesterday.

The only disappointment today was the following we took, from where I was sat I could see about 20 people stood behind the goal and about 4 other Dons fans sat down, if batley can bring over 400 to the keepmoat why can't we take more than 30 to Leigh, I can appreciate some people can't afford it or maybe away on holiday or may be old and struggle to travel, it seems we don't have fans as passionate as we use to.

Charlie thought you Dons played OK today , it could easily have been 20-6 in the Dons favour at one stage , I think the 15 minites before half -time shaped the game , it wasn't a vintage performance by either side , Leigh dropped a lot of ball , but in truth Donny never really threatened the Leigh line in the Second half , and some of Donnys tackling , mainly on Acton was a bit OTT .Still you fight another day , good luck next week , I spoke to Paul Cooke after the game , what a very nice bloke , hope to see you again in 2 weeks .

Not really bothered as long as we kept injury free.
I hope we did.
Wilko back on the scoresheet was good to see.
Shoitehawks next, unless we hit them hard early and rack points up ... were out!
They know what play- offs are all about.

I agree with some of the earlier comments.

The Dons gave a great account of themselves for the first half an hour but in the final ten minutes of that half couldn't live with Leigh. In the second half, the ship was steadied to a fair degree, but once again in the last fifteen minutes the Centurions managed to get their game going again and draw away.

With regard to the number of supporters, it was disappointing but maybe it was one away game too many for some???

Those who were there did stay to applaud the players and were rewarded by the players responding in kind.

Moving on, hopefully we can put a competitive side out next Sunday.

Yes but by cutting out where you went wrong and improving on your right decisions wouldn't it make sense to want to travel to the LSV for a second helping to alter what you did before enabling Donny to make sure the same thing didn't happen , whereby Leigh might decide to play alternative tactics to nullify your threats on field .
