York seem to have put their poor early season form behind them. A 40-0 win at Dewsbury suggests they're a few steps in front of us at the moment.

Bookmaker Forecast: Dons to get 16 points start. I've gone 16 as I think Pauli Pauli will be a big miss. He poses a huge threat near the opponent's line in that space is created elsewhere due to his presence. Without him, scoring generally will be more difficult.

Will Alex Sutcliffe and Luke Briscoe be fit? Our chances will increase somewhat if they are.

Sadly i had the mark around 16 as well which is a 32pt turnaround from when we beat them by 16 at the keepmoat, think we played them at a good time as they seem to be finding their straps whilst we are limping through games.

I don't think Sutcliffe will be, Briscoe has an outside chance but I'd say unlikely

Thanks Jemmo. Poor Sutcliffe seems to have no luck with injuries. Let's hope he gets a clear run through to the end of the season when he returns.

I presume Briscoe's problem is with his leg, the injury he got in the last home game?

Squad announced and no Johnston once again. Is he injured or out of favour?

Foot injury I understand.

Yeah correct it's his foot, he was the water boy last sunday and said in the bar afterwards it was touch and go for this weekend, think we're alot more dangerous when he's playing.
