To be honest i left the Batley game a lot happier than some of the games i had to endure when we had the so called stars of the Laker era.

And some of last weeks young players certainly deserved more respect from the Donny fans than certain players of that era who were on a good deal more money.

There was certainly no lack of effort at Batley. Unfortunately due to circumstance we are having to play players at least a league above that which some are ready for yet.

I don't honestly think that the majority of supporters took to the 'stars' of the Laker era.

It was a knock-on-athon.

I came away slightly disappointed today.1st half i thought we were ok and if we'd have stepped up a bit in the 2nd the match would have been won.
Haven were there for the taking (down to 12 men as well) and we just didnt seem to get going at all.Id love to know what our completion rate was in the 2nd half.We just couldnt seem to get through a set.

Also i have to say, thats the worst Whitehaven side ive seen in years.I dont know if it was just a bad day at the office for them or what but they were shocking.

A gate of 337 as well doesnt bode well for the future.Whats it going to be when we play Gateshead at the end of the season??

Have to agree with Karlos.

After recent canings, to come away only 10 - 19 down is a vast improvement, particularly when the 'team' is still trying to gell.

Biggest disappointment was the failure to get the ball out wider in the 2nd half against 12 men. Last five minutes showed what could (and should?) have been done. Cannot fault Haven though for their tactics (repeated offsides, lying on etc) to keep Donny playing up the middle. Good to see we'd got them feeling nervous - a drop goal for heaven's sake.

Loved the bonus point song though!!

Yes, no 'sense of humour bypass' for us Dons supporters.
