Back to back fixtures against the Roughyeds, who will be smarting from the home 1895 Cup defeat to the Dons last Sunday.

This Sunday offers the opportunity to beat one of the favourites for the league title and give our own promotion chances a boost.

Some of the post-match comments after Sunday's cup match suggest that we may see a much changed Oldham team. We'll have wait and see.

Last Season: Doncaster 26 Oldham 22 (Sunday 29 July 201icon_cool.gif.
Dons Tries: Sam Doherty, Brad England, Aaron Jones-Bishop, Jack Logan.
Dons Conversions: Matty Beharrell 4.

=#0000BFDon't forget, this is now a 17:30 kick off.

Squad for Sunday

Stefanos Bastas, Matty Beharrell, Watson Boas, Connor Bower, Ryan Boyle, Jack Brown (D/R), Matty Chrimes, Sam Doherty, Brad Foster, Jordie Hedges, Jordan Howden, Kyle Kesik, Kieron Lawton, Jez Litten (D/R), Cameron Scott (D/R), Connor Scott, Russ Spiers, Jason Tali, Menzie Yere.

Looking forward to seeing Jack Brown again.

Can only think Brandon Douglas is injured , hope to see Litten .

Also Thought Brad England might be back. Obvious 2 to miss out will be Bastas and Lawton I'd have thought.

What ... got to play Bastas with his record.
How about the bloody obvious? Drop Boyle!!!

What?! ... got to play Bastas with his record.
How about the bloody obvious? Drop Boyle!!!
He's not so much a prop as a bloody hindrance and quite possible a reason why we are 6th in a dreadful league.
He gets in every game.... WHY?
Because lamebrain RH made him captain?

Bit ott that SO. I've got to disagree. Also personal insults to either players or coaching staff aren't really on.

Sorry that is how I feel.
Answer me ... why should Boyle be first on the teamsheet?
And then explain why RH is not a lamebrain for picking him and also making him captain?
Yet better players are left out.
Even supporters like you leave out better players as a matter of course.
Why?
You'd even leave out a player that has never been on a losing side for Boyle.
Why?
Also this is a forum, thankfully not controlled by the yes-men or the club, so people like me can say what a lot of folk actually think, but who won't or daren't.
I know of nobody that I have spoken to that thinks Boyle should be captain.

A difference of opinion currently ...

Bet365 - Dons +4 Evens

Skybet - Dons +8 10/11

The odds confirm that today's game is relatively close with the Dons perhaps slight underdogs.

Finding a way to win these types of matches is key if we're to move up the table. Keeping mistakes to a minimum, discipline, and game management will be vital.

I'm a big fan of Jez Litten. I feel he adds an extra dimension to our attacking play and improves our winning chances considerably. Can we get on top of their forwards to help create a winning platform? Let's hope so!

Agreed, we have to win these sort of fixtures, especially the ones at home. A big test today but hopefully a positive outcome.

With the players in that squad picked.
There is no reason at all to pick Boyle, a lot better ,more mobile and quicker players in there than him.

Looking at it the 2 to miss out would Be Boyle and Lawton unfortunately for him in my mind.

worst team we,ve seen at the Keepmoat this season.but doesn't take away from an excellent display by the Dons.in attack and defence well on their game.COYD.

As near to a complete performance as we've had this season. The nil against Oldham speaks volumes. More of the same going forward please.

Excellent performance today throughout the team.

Top kicking game, rock solid at the back under anything Oldham threw at us. Looking forward to seeing replays of our tries - still can’t fathom out how Jordan Howden got his pass away.

Best game so far from Ryan Boyle too.

Would be great to follow this up with the same at Hunslet.

COYD!!!

Played for Hull reserves yesterday

We ticked all the required boxes today with a very professional performance.

Oldham were poor with numerous handling errors contributing to their downfall. Their forwards looked lightweight and never really looked like causing us any problems.

A win against Hunslet would be nice.

Good win today Great we nilled them.
Don't know why i took the plus 8 on the bet?
First viewing of Boas for me impressed, tackled well decent kick and one Awesome try i would have give him
MOM for.

Beharrell my motm. His kicking was pretty much perfect.

Boas scored a try I can honestly say I'm delighted to have been in attendance for. Just wonderful.
Can't say anyone else looked anything other than on their game. Across the board, 1 - 17 they wanted this. Praise where praise is due. Well done (congratulations Boyley. Got words of praise from a most unexpected source

)

The best performance for some time .. since the Batley win.
Just beat Hunslet and keep me quiet please ...

Very good performance today, we looked a well coached team also.
Some stand out performances , well done to all the 17.

Just seen footage of Watson Boas’ try from last week as well as a re-run of today’s try. Both are sheer quality.

I guess Oldham will be glad to see the back of him for a few weeks!

The Dons trying to keep hold of Langtree was a bit like Langtree trying to keep hold of a rugby ball.

I would be pulling out all the stops to keep him at whatever cost.

Totally agree. Imagine side with Boas and Beharrell in halves and Chase at FB (acting as a 3rd half). Factor in England and Mariano for back end of season and it doesn't look too bad.

Just to add. Strong performance from a certain Mr Boyle.
