South Wales game : Sun Mar 07, 2010 9:10 am  

Now we have all had time to drowned our sorrows after the embarrasing day yesterday, how many of us are going to pick ourselves up and turn up next week ? I will give it one more go to see if Miller and the team can give us a performance we can cheer about,God knows they owe us after that debacle yesterday. If i don't see 100% improvement or he continues to play unfit, overweight fatties in place of available fitter and more enthusiastic youngsters then thats it for me. Over to you Miller.

I really hope I am wrong but I suspect a very poor turnout. Those wanting any excuse to stay-away have certainly been given every reason and when you factor in Mothers Day and that the opposition may not bring a massive following it could struggle to get past the 200-250 mark.

This may sound a touch emotional but I really do think the next month or so will define the future. Defeats to South Wales and Swinton Lions (obviously quite likely considering our current form) prior to fixtures against (possibly) the big two in the division, York City Knights and Hunslet Hawks and I just can't imagine how many Dons supporters will be at future games. Currently, there is so little which can be used postively to promote / market the Club and it seems that many of those who have stuck with the Club thus far are starting to question their sanity. Without some turnround in the teams current form I really do fear the worst.

Me too but it is getting harder and harder and I am starting to find it almost impossible to challenge those who say they are walking away.

I could never understand drivers who slow down and gawp at car crashes, it really bugs me. I find myself now feeling a little like they do, I might just go along for the curiosty factor. And I do like to see who is up on the balcony looking down on the common folk

After watching the pre season friendlies, we appeared to have a decent sqaud who were capable of competing at this level, Can't understand whats happened, players don't lose their ability overnight but they don't look anything like the team that we saw a few weeks ago in the friendlies. Has baffled me totally

Without Grant Edwards we don't seem able to seriously challenge the oppositions defensive line. Are we a one-trick pony?

Agree, we looked yesterday as though we were playing without a complete back division and was very hard to make out who the half backs were supposed to be.
