Weather better for Sunday after 12 noon , a bit breezy but DRY.

As an aside, I have in the past compared us with Warrington in our style and team composition.
Both entertaining on their day but with smallish packs.
Boy did the Wire get their backsides kicked yesterday through mainly a lack of go forward.
The same will not happen to us tomorrow but it just shows size matters.
Not always granted ...

Good article in the Free Press. Lets hope the players react in the expected manner .

dons +2 on skybet

I've just been reading some comments on the Rovers site regarding the pitch. Not ideal for the Rovers type football because of it being firm and bobbly (love that word) A vast difference in the playing surface from last week and it will be intriguing to see how our firm ground squad go on it compared to the bigger Cumbrian lads. In all the interviews this week the playing surface at Worky was mentioned, well lads apart from the strong gusts of wind that could be blowing you have a dry sunny day and your surface. Crack on.

Also +2 with Bet365 at Evens. A Dons win is 5/4.

Underdogs at home ...pathetic!

Boas wins fight for No 6 slot.

HT Dons 12 Barrow 8
Dons Tries: Boyle, Douglas
Conversions: Beharrell 2

FT Dons 22 Barrow 32
Dons second half Tries: Rickett, Tali
Conversion: Beharrell

Well that was a short season!

same old same old rubbish..until we stop giving the opposition loads and loads of penalties were doomed for fourth spot (at best) and a drumming in the play offs. we were the best team by far in the first half and then fell apart in the second half. somebody needs to have a long hard look at how this group of players are being coached, on paper we have a very good group of players on the feild it does,nt work were good in patches but not good enough to put teams to the sword.

Cannot believe that , I thought we played really well in the 1st half . We looked well in control even though we played into the wind. Boyle had a very good 30 mins & we looked a useful side .

2nd half was woeful , penalty lead to a try , we lost all cohesion . They controlled the half even though we scored an early try & conversion .

RH needs to go.
Mark my words...
Clueless.

best team in 1st half and should have gone on to win especially after scoring 1st in 2nd half but after that terrible

Agree we were competitive in the first half but after the break:
Too slow, decision making and actions
Too lethargic, we looked leaden legged
Lack of respect for the ball, on the two occasions in the second half when we held onto the ball and played direct football, we put ourselves in scoring positions.
Too many needless penalties, why oh why is this a recurrent theme?
I appreciate it's early doors, but something has got to change if we are going to be in the play offs.

In the two games the Dons have played against Barrow & Workington this season they have been winning at half time but in the second half of these two games they have conceded a total of 40 points with Barrow scoring 24pts and Workington scoring16pts is there a fitness problem?
