Following another disappointment in Cumbria, next up it's Dewsbury Rams who have turned into a bit of a bogey team for the Dons.

In the 5 fixtures since the Dons promotion to the Championship, the Rams boast a 100% record, with 3 of their victories coming at the Keepmoat.

The signings of Ben Reynolds and Peter Fox can be viewed positively, both were try-scorers at Whitehaven but the Dons now sit 4 points adrift of Workington, Hunslet and Whitehaven and desperately need a win to kick-start the season.

Agree with you wanderer, we have to find a way to win against a team we don't usually do well against. As you say we are 4 points adrift, but we were before the game yesterday, so not much change, hopeful of a couple of more signings soon, if leafys bookmaker is correct, and I don't doubt him. Not ready to give up yet, but I must admit, feeling pretty low at the moment.

When you're in the position we're in, the next game becomes more critical than the last. We desperately need a result against Dewsbury.

I really feel for all the players and the coaching staff as they live and breathe what they do. It's bad enough for me as a supporter but it must be much worse for them.

Not expecting a win but expecting them to have a go, and looking forward to it. First double header of the season for us. Weather looks good and two cracking games of RL whats not too like.

Hoping for a good performance from the boys, showing some pride and passion. Hope that Cookey starts with Reynolds looked good yesterday and was trying new things that may come off. Hoping for a win then we can try and start to get out of this relegation battle

Think we had him against Batley.

Hi. Along with many other Rams fans I'm looking forward to visiting your pace again on Sunday and a good game against what must be an improving side. On your web site I can find the ticket information for the match but I understood that there was also a [promotion to take in both games at the stadium on Sunday. Is this the case and where can I find this information if it is still so?

Its £20 for both games.

Thanks Donny - perfect.

we need to start winning our home games, starting with this sunday to have a chance of pulling
our season round.

we have 8 left [technically 7 counting Sheffield 'away' but is at Keepmoat. Plus Hunslet in summer bash at blackpool.
Of the remaining away games i can only see Batley, Fev, & dewsbury as possibles.

It is doable if we get another couple of decent signings, which i hope we do get.

Lets get behind them this Sunday COYDs COYDs

Let's hope early arrivals for Sheffield v Leigh will give us some extra support.

Peter Fox not named in squad on website!

Why get new players in then not use them!?. Unless its a decoy for the opposition.
I hope it is.

No Paul Cooke or Peter Fox. Anyone know who the Wilson chap is at 18? Or is a typo and it's meant to be Lee Waterman?

Ryan Wilson we had last season.
can't believe no Waterman as well.

Of course, it's Ryan Wilson. Thanks onedon. I'd forgotten about him. I think I was hoping it was a typo and should have been Lee!

Dons getting 14 points start with Bet365 & Skybet on the Handicap Betting.

Well I have heard Dunn is not playing-

14 is alot mmm i might be tempted to have a sheckel or two on us! COYD

we could do with that start at K.O!

16 start with skybet

Yes, they originally went 14 but have moved the line to 16.

Everyone else still Dons + 14.
