Looking forward to our first home game of the season proper !

COYD

Should be a different challenge to the Workington game which was played on a energy sapping pitch, keighley appear to be a stronger outfit than last season, well at least on paper, I was impressed with our 2nd half performance at Workington which gives me confidence we can gain another win, however I believe we need to be a little more disciplined.

The effort the lads put in was amazing and I hope we are out in numbers to support them, the away following at Workington was embarrassing, no more than 20, I appreciate it's a long way, but all 3 Cumbrian teams brought more to the keepmoat last season.

I believe a strong vocal support can make a difference to a teams performance so I encourage fans to make a greater effort to get behind the lads away from home, fans are easy to criticise players for lack of effort at times, sounds a little hypocritical from those who don't make the effort themselves.

I am aware we can't always attend every game due to either work, finances, holidays, family commitments, but surely we can take more supporters away, we had more players than fans on Sunday.

These topics have been split

Paul March has a talent for assembling a good side.
He did it at Hunslet and now he is doing it at Keighley.
Donny will need their thinking heads on as worzel might say.

i think it will be a tough game but we must make sure we win most of our home games against teams that will be in the mix for the bottom 4 of the top 8 if you know what i mean.



after discounting the usual suspects for top 4.

Minimum no of changes if the dual reg players are available , looking forward to watch Jay Pitts in action .

Jay Pitts and Russ Spiers are charged with the Grade B offence of making a dangerous throw during the Workington game. The hearing is on Tuesday.

Being charged suggests bans are likely.

Joe Arundel starting for Hull Fc tonight !

They're having a laugh.
Is this how it's going to be?

Yeaman injured ,cannot blame Hull,can you .

this is no good it just disrupts the team.
if they are D/R someone we need them on a regular basis.
That was a get match fit excersise by radford for this week.

It'll be hadley & pitts next week,
thats if we've got them tomorrow that is!

Dons asked to give up 4 points by Skybet and 6 points by Bet365 on the Handicap Betting (10/11 with both).

Players on loan tie the players up Dual Reg doesn't. That is 1 reason why I donot like Dual reg but we have signed up for it so we will have to lump it.

Doubt Pitts will be playing for anyone next week

Have you seen the incident ?

That will include Spiers then as he was also sited for the incident,
if that is your reference

Well if they get 1 match & have entered a guilty plea b4 Tuesday they will not have to serve any suspension !

Big chance for Nev if selected on Sunday , Paul wants a strong start so include Castle from the beginning along with Pitts & Hadley !

Well can't wait for this afternoon.
Looking forward to it, should be a good game.

hopefully we may get some hull fans down watching

The 4 point Handicap didn't last long. Dons -8 now with Skybet.

Good to see more and more bookies pricing up Championship games this season.

Dons generally -6 at 10/11.

Nev Morisson replaced Arundel from last week,

Dons played the conditions much better than Keighley & ran easy winners in the end . Keighley not helped by their discipline . Player coach March sin binned twice once for mouthing at ref.
Mike Kelly impressed me alongside Emmett & Paul Cooke.
We are now 3rd in the League .
Only 647 attended PATHETIC response from the Doncaster public.

TBH Kelly would have been my MOTM. Was nice to see our kick offs were varied and into space as opposed to just booted into the same old corner, and on a related note PLEASE CAN WE CATCH BALLS ON THE FULL. I felt that needed caps as it has been years and we still haven't learnt this. I thought Nev's defence was much improved. Sando had a quality game too, other than that the only other negative thing I can think to mention is that high kicks to Scotty's corner are not a good idea. I was impressed with the way we didn't let the officials inability to sort out Keighley's foul play affect us and managed to deservedly take the bonus point off them in the end.

Lets put right our mistakes and turn over Dewsbury next week
