Has got to go, how in 6 seasons have we failed to realise he's not coach material? Yes there's alot more behind the scenes that I'd like to leave as well but this guy is the coach and the results fall on him. Can't stick another bland 'we go again' speech.

But he will Paul - we got again, we had a plan they boys didn't stick to it (they also ignored him at half time to it would seem).
It cannot be a coincidence that since Watson has returned we've been bang average.

My guess is that Richard Horne will say we were rusty due to not having played for a while. There were times at the start of the season where we looked very disjointed but managed to win by small margins.

We've shown in previous matches that we can be vulnerable against teams you'd imagine we'd be considerably better than - look how London put plenty of points past us when they had 12 men. Our inferior points difference - compared to those around us - also suggests we might not be as good as we think we are.

Whilst our pack still has limitations, I thought we'd looked more solid this season as I believe this has been a perennial weakness under Richard Horne's leadership. The forwards failed to get on top against Midlands and this allowed them into the game.

At one stage yesterday, with penatlies and repeat sets, I reckon we had six sets running, with plenty of those play-the-balls close to the Midlands' line, but we lacked any sort of cutting edge. When Midlands were near our line, they undid us with much greater ease.

The pressure is now on. In Carl Hall's recent video, he said that we usually come strong at the end of a season. It looks as though we're going the other way at the moment. The further down the hill you slip, the harder it becomes to recover.

All isn't lost as I'm sure we're not as bad as the last couple of games have indicated but we must reach peak form again for the play-offs if we're going to have any chance of going up.

If we don't go up, it'll be over to the club to explain why we've failed in our objective yet again.

WHEN we don't up it will be copy and paste what's been said for the last 5 seasons! We must be the most placid, laid back, accepting fans in sports history to put up with all the bullcrap and guff! If club doncaster was actually serious about that 5 year plan would they of sat on their hands whilst witnessing zero progress? Every Carl Hall interview contains the paragraph 'the fans have a big role to play' well Mr Hall the fans have continued to swell your old boys coffers now can we see some accountability for constant failure?

I don't imagine any of us are happy with the current state of affairs. When loyal fans like Wanderer call it a day, that in itself is a sure sign things aren't right.

However, at this particular point in time, we have to stay focussed on what can be done - and that's getting some form back in order to have a chance of going up. Changing coach at this stage of the season isn't going to happen. I'd prefer to save the inquests until the season is over although I fully understand and respect your point of view.

Seasons are coming and going without this happening though, all it takes is a false compassionate statement by our CEO about how unlucky we were and that next season will be different and all is forgiven!

To be honest, if we don't go up this season, I don't see any extenuating circumstances. It's not as though we've had long injury lists or any other bad luck to mention. If we lost in the play-off final again after coming close, that may be put forward as a defence but I'm not sure how many people would feel that was acceptable this time.

Albert Einstein is credited with a theory which covers that.
