Just heard him say this live on the radio.

He needs to think before he speaks. FFS.

The players and him need to stand up and be counted now.

Him & Jones were not very good.

I've not heard the comment myself. But if true there were two teams out there and they wanted it more than us. Time for answers from some one at top level.

as Dennis Betts said to Mathers "man up".he only has to play on that pitch once.

Thought Keighley had the best of the opening 15 mins , after that the Dons were in control. Having said that I think the Dons got the best of 2 questionable decisions.

Dejavu .....Like a lot of games this season , same tactics all the match even though the opposition
have 'sussed us out' after ten or fifteen minutes ......

And to blame the pitch ......... Well .......seems like a bit of a cop out.

Jones hasn't been since he came back crom Halifax i.m.o.

I don,t know what excuses can be made today. We didn't lose due to poor discipline or to making errors or due to bad refereeing decisions. As far as I am concerned the reason we lost was very simple. WE WERE RUBBISH!

What we saw this afternoon is simply not good enough; I was thoroughly unimpressed. We were beaten, quite convincingly in the end, by a Doncaster team that really weren't all that good. As Burley Cougar points out it was same old same old through the whole match, basically give it to the big lads from the PTB and have them run at the opposing line, and Donny had it sussed out after about 10-15 minutes. And our lads never seemed to run onto the ball to go forward with momentum, they were always receiving it and running at the Dons from a standing start. Dons seemed to want it more as well - the passion and aggression seems to be missing from our play for some reason. I'm sure Oxford, Gloucester and Hemel are decent enough places but I have no desire to go there next season to watch my team.

That breakaway try the Dons scored. All our lads seemed to stop as if there'd been some kind of infringement. Anyone know what happened cos I didn't see why they all stopped?

If march hadn't of argued with ref and tackled winger he wouldn't of scored

They've not been good all season and the time has to come for the younger lads to be given their shot. Watch the u20's, they know how to take the ball in at pace. We seemed to play better when March was out suspended. If Jones' contract is up at the end of season he's not doing a good job of staking a claim for a renewal.

Pitch was same for both sides and before the game he intimated it may play to our advantage due to expansive game we apparently play. Can't say I've seen much of it this season though?

How many of these games are we going to look back on at the end of the season and say we should have won. Swinton, Haven and now Donny.

Like it or not we are in a relegation dog fight and March needs to stop talking about the play offs. There is a very real prospect we could be relegated. We need to turn up every week and fight for the result. If we lose but play well I'll take that, but we seem to be making the same errors every week and I see no improvement since the first game of the season.

I'll ask the question on the Hello thread, but I've heard the team travel on the minibus now to away games, or in their own cars. If that is true I think it's embarrassing and shows the cost cutting at the club has gone too far.

They thought it was a 2 on 1 rip, which, on looking back at the video (which I'm currently working on to be put online tonight/tomorrow), it definitely was.

to be honest sat on that side of the field , [iand I dont normally slate the officials [/i but it looked liked very much like all 3 officials looked at each other shrugged their shoulders cause they hadn't seen it and let play on ...personally I wouldn't have let that go in an under 8's game ..but hey ho I'm only a speccie.....this is not a criticism of the individuals involved more of the governing body that lets this happen..

'Ripping' incident about 3:45 in.

BTW mate thanks for that , makes a change from the 'we woz robbed ' type stuff from some folk ..we all at times breath in and say a quick couple of words of thanks to the great video ref in the sky ..nice to see folk acknowledge those times ..without prejudice or malice

Great video Donny , thanks.

We left the game a bit speechless.

How could we play so well against Sheffield then give this type of performance?

Gutted.

They just seemed to play the game faster in every department whilst we were flat footed. To be fair, Donny looked better than their position in the league suggests.

Can't understand how the officials missed the ball steal - especially when we had regained a bit of momentum. After that their heads went down.

Needs to be turned around fast or there is only one place we are going.

No problem.

All being well, I should have the proper edit online later.

Having had chance to see that 2-on-1 ball steal, thanks to Donny's vid, I just cannot believe the match officials didn't see it. It was absolutely blatant. No wonder our lads hesitated. And it came at such a crucial time too with Olly just having put us back in it at 18-12 and us putting pressure on the Dons line. It was a real game changer and put the Dons right back in control. This doesn't excuse our performance overall which was unacceptable but it sure as hell didn't help.

Looking back, the only thing I can think that Leahy may have thought, is that Sanderson may have ripped the ball slightly before Liam Kay came in and joined the tackle, but judging by the reaction of the Cougars player, even that may be a very tight margin.

Maybe, but it was just so obvious when I saw it on your vid. And if I remember rightly I think the ref pulled up one of our players (Gav Duffy I think...?) for a 2-on-1 steal earlier in the game which was far less blatant than the Donny one.

Regardless of videos it is not a two on one ball steal until the ref says it is. We switched off and he was gone. Need to play what the ref does not what he should have .

Can't really post much on this game as I wasn't there due to my little lad is now playing himself and obviously he comes first now. I have seen the highlights video thanks to Donny but nothing to shout about really and listening to what I've heard about the game it was terrible.

Yes we went on a winning streak but was that even anything to get excited about because in my opinion they were our winable games and no disrespect to Doncaster I honestly thought we would go there and win as well, if you look at our fixtures now all the way to the end of the season its a tough run of games. I have said this a few times to people in recent weeks, ok we might lose a game but I honestly think we cannot afford to lose two games on the bounce and especially if we don't manage to get the bonus point we will be left behind. I am praying we don't get relegated and no matter what anyone thinks its the last thing I want to see happen to us but I just cant change my opinion on this as I believe we are going down. I think we have the players and the quality to be a mid table team at the minute but for me our problem is leadership, it doesn't exist anymore. I even think we are past the point of bringing in a new coach now because we don't have time to start unsettling things even more now.

The comment about the players in cars and minibus, I aren't sure if this is true but I do know the board tried this last year with JD. Something along the lines of using both minibuses and JD to drive one of them to games, JD was furious this was even suggested and it never happened. If true this is a disgrace and a complete showup for our team and club. If true this is a step too far and if they can cut back to this then when are they willing to stop cutting back.

One other thing I have heard is that we have about 3-4 key players that are leaving or hanging their boots up at the end of the season so in my opinion these will be a big loss and how are these guys going to be replaced. How many of our boys are going to start jumping ship before the end of the season if relegation is looking like its going to happen because I know a lot of the lads won't go back down and play at that level and shouldn't because they are not championship one players.

WHAT A MESS!!!!!

Well i was there yesterday and our players were on a big coach.
To those that dont go why come on here and say " i heard" Your just stiring s**t
Fans in general dont know what financial situation the club is in. But are we not better with a board of directors that try to keep the clubs finances in check rather than getting us in debt again then jumping ship.
If we go down then so be it or would you reather the club spend money it dosnt have and end up in administration again then start another season with a points a points deduction or even worse no club at all
