Final score 8-18, better performance , but we couldnt finish off some of our plays. The breakaway try by the Welsh team was the game killer for me !

was it Kyle Kesick at Scrum half today (No 32) ?

Yes.

Seemed to do a good job there.

better all round today.still nobody to make that final telling pass,a game we could have easily won.they got 2 break away tries and we gave away a soft penalty for one.never mind a great improvement on last week.new loan signing did a good job all game.lets hope we can keep the effort going.COYD

Really enjoyed todays game ( i didnt know what to expect this morning to be honest!). Today has given me a bit of confidence, hopefully it has given every single one of us, the fans the team, and the coaching staff the lift we all were desperate for.

I know its still a defeat, but a bonus point and hopefully the turning point. Will be wearing my Dons shirt with pride on Friday, I work in Leeds, and to raise money for charity everyone has to wear the sports kit of their favourite team for the day. beats the shirt and tie!! I escaped the Siddal fans as the pair of em were on a course thank god. but i got abuse from the Rhinos and Batley fans there (funnily enough there are no hunslet fans i am aware of). Mind u the Rhinos fans are also leeds united fans, so i managed to remember them of the Rovers playoff win!!!

Anyway, bring on the games. Im gonna try my best to get to more away games this season, my finances arent alwasy the best living on my own, I got to three last year, aim to get to 50% this year. Wish i could get to them all.

Wish the bus could pick us up nearer balby!!!! wink wink

I was fortunate enough to miss last week's game, but I understand today was an improvement. Nice to see a bit of enthusiasm shame we lacked any kind of cutting edge.

I may be sad but I thought the referee had a decent game too.

He bottled the decision on Bovill in the first half IMO, he deserved at least a spell in the bin, it was a lazy effort of a tackle, and high as well.

It looked from the West Stand (the opposite stand to the supporters) that the ref did cost us a try in the second half, i was shouting and swearing at him lol.

he ran in the path of our attacker, did it look different from your side.

in honesty the ref didnt do it on purpose, purely accident, and yes he had a good game apart from that, that was................

Were was Jaaron Osborne the NZ guy who played on the wing against Rochdale away. Wing looked his best position but has been missing since . Is he injured ?

Could not fault the effort today, I posted about the senior players standing up an I thought Jamie Bovill led by example and that was his best effort in a Dons shirt IMO. Much improved performance from the side today. Well played lads.
