Only a select few will know what the conditions of his return are.

I am merely suggesting that perhaps a squad of players who were winning the vast majority of games may have been unsettled by the decision.

I for one would of been not happy with his return if i was a current player in the team but is that enough to lose 10-41 at home to a team that has just been comprehensively beat by cornwall? I scratch my head to see how our coach gets absolves from any blame or accountability, would any other club have kept with someone for 6 seasons without any progression? Absolutely mind boggling

Somewhere in Bonny Donny (Twinned with Krakatoa in 1883).

Well....next week we have Worky.
It ain't looking good for us....Worky are doing a mini Hunslet...beneath the radar stuff.
It is a long way to go and results there are iffy.
Dons are absolutely shot at the moment.
So who knows...they have shown they can beat all but Dewsbury...but that was yesterday.
A little too much chopping and changing for me of late...
So in conclusion...I think we have buggered it for 2nd place and will be well up against it for promotion.
I really ain't bothered...if they do it I will carry on into Championship rugby..if not...call me Gary! :lol:

I'm not a Doncaster fan but do like reading forums.
The die hard fans will always turn up to matches even when after a result like yesterday you say I'm never going again.
We are a country brainwashed by football.
I don't know what your crowd was yesterday but I doubt it was a thousand.
Clubs can only hope with crowds like that.
The fans only turn up when a team strings 4 or 5 wins together then people start to think I might go next week.
It's such a shame as we have a fantastic sport.
If we had as many kids turn up at amateur clubs as football clubs do for junior tournaments we would have so much talent to choose from.
I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and keep supporting your team.

We have taken that decision. I hope the players can recover some pride in the forthcoming fixtures and make at least an impact in the playoffs but I am not prepared to support the people allegedly running the club.

I get the feeling the next two games are huge. If we implode against Workington and lose to North Wales, our mood will be even lower than it is after the last two defeats. It's understandable, Wilf, that people will question whether they want to be part of another season in League One.

I really enjoyed watching Leigh beat St Helens and Hull KR beat Wigan in the challenge cup over the weekend. It doesn't seem all that long ago that we were playing Leigh but their fortunes and ours have taken completely different paths. Being stuck in League One is quite depressing - with just nine home league games to look forward to, intertwined with long spells with no home fixtures.

Just thought... if Wilf and S/O stop going, there'll hardly be any of us left on here.

I toughed it out in the seventies when losing by less than 50 was a good result. I don't think I've got it in me to stop going as I'd find life without the Dons too hard to swallow. I enjoy meeting up with my friends at matches too. I'd probably never see them otherwise. I do understand why people might give up, so I'm not criticising anyone. It's just a shame we can't seem to get out of this God forsaken league to give us all some hope of better times ahead.

The Dons better look out at Worky...Town have won 6 on the trot and will want revenge for the pasting they got down here.
It is hard to believe we were so much better...

Especially for S/O and those who missed it yesterday, here are the highlights:

S/O, did you switch off before the end? :lol:

Every bit as dreadful as the scoreline suggested.

I also watched the RH interview ... 'the sending off didn't help' ... the game was long gone before that!
