On the evidence of today we are in for a long hard season. We could end up being totally embarrassed on Thursday in front of the cameras. Not one positive note from today, despite what TM may say.
A shocker

Marker Defence was non existant. We again looked like a bunch of blokes slung together the day before. Mark Castle ran strong all game imo,also thought we looked to have a better half back link up when briggsy went off.The young lad weraring 26 did well for a debut. Need a big week on the training paddock. |

A shocker While I agree we were garbage, to say there was no positives is a bit harsh on Mark Castle who was great I also thought Gaz Carey played well in the most part. We were in for a long hard season well before today's game. We need start playing games like we do the first 10 and last 10 minutes. (If the league was based on last try winner I reckon we'd be sound). We also need a member of coaching staff who has ideas about game plans, link play and playing people in positions that benfit the side. |

i've said it a few times, and i'll say it again. tony miller must go, he never was is or will be a professional coach, assistant maybe, but coach, never. before its too late there needs to be a change imo i cant even bring myself to the games anymore, so my opinion is tempered somewhat, but i do kno what i said at the start when miller was given the job.. |

Right on there Jemmo. There was nothing to enthuse about...because we didn't play as a team...with every player knowing what to do. I am not even sure that we targeted Gateshead's weak points (if they had any). It all looked a bit random to me. |

Todays game was just another example of how to turn returning fans awayIonly watched 2 games last year due to when games were played but I have watched 3 games this season but I think that is enough for me unless there are some changes.Got to agree that Mark Castle plays his heart out and that the half backs were better when Briggs went off.Too many players going through the motions without doing anything.I'm afraid there will have to be some better performances before I return |

We let Branighan run the show in the first half and we paid the price.He was superb IMO.We had a couple of warnings early on and didnt take any notice and he went on to put the game beyond doubt. Must play better on Thursday or we will be embarrassed in front of our nearest rivals.We did look better in the last 15 minutes but by then Thunder were out of sight and probably took their foot off the gas. |

Having been a member of the old Askern Branch and a founding member of the Sun Inn branch which became the very successful Mallard supporters branch, having been a lottery agent with over 50 members and still having 40 today, having written many articles for the Club programme in the early 00's and been the official reporter for the Academy during the same period I have to say that today was a watershed. Today, the penny dropped and I realised that I SIMPLY DON'T CARE ANYMORE. I couldn't wait to get out of the ground and find somewhere to watch some proper RL (Leeds v Saints). It pains me to say it, but if thats as good as it gets, time is up! I will expect (and no doubt get) some criticism for being so forthright but after today, no day will ever be primarily about the Dons again (I used to live my life for them, ask either the ex or my current partner). I may still watch them if it fits in with whatever else I'm doing but it will NEVER be something which dictates what I do and that is a bold statement bearing in mind that I once came back to Doncaster mid-way through a holiday because the Academy were playing Leeds at Thornesians. Enough is enough! |

but we need as much support as we can get to survive. I fear we lost a lot of support after the queens fiasco. Todays crowd, must be the lowest for 20 years. not even 500, couldnt believe it. |
