A must win for both sides , I am sure there will be a good following from York .

Come on you Dons Fans.

Agreed, must win for both, for very different reasons.

It's not a must win for us really is it? It's a "would be nice" to win

Must win as regards to making playoffs , which in the position we are in would be disappointing to miss out, but your right jemmo, been a great season anyway, better than i certainly expected.

Must win if we want to finish 6th , get a home tie & get 4k from the RL.

That'd al be nice, but I wouldn't let it define the season!

It hasn't , we have done very well !

With Sanderson , Edwards , Spiers , Hughes & Leaf hopefully available does Tony may changes bearing in mind we have 2 matches in 5 days.
Cannot see Wakefield letting us have Trout or Kay on Wednesday, but you never know.

If we beat York, we'll definitely finish 6th providing either Dewsbury or Workington don't win their last match. Dewsbury play at Leigh, and Workington play at Halifax. Those two games look tough for Dewsbury and Workington. It's probably fair to say a win against York will be good enough for 6th spot.

If either of Dewbury and Workington do win, a bonus point for us against Sheffield will definitely see us 6th unless Dewsbury or Workington score loads of points in their last match victories, as we have a far better points difference.

A win for us against York guarantees us a play-off place of some sorts. A bonus point against York almost certainly guarantees a play off place, even if we got nothing from the Sheffield game.

Whichever way we look at it, our fate is still in our own hands.

It would be nice to finish sixth with Dewsbury 7th, so we can get our own back on them to some degree.

Team selection could be interesting gven the running on fumes comment, York have to go for it and some more, could be a cracker and an enjoyable game to watch.. Looking forward to as I cannot make the Eagles game. As for the season as a whole very pleased and would love us to finish as the top side of all those promoted. Plays offs at 6 would be excellent and a very fitting normal season end for Tony Miller.

We may well see Simon Brown, Broughton & Freer playing against us .

I assume all friends for a fiver tickets bought for the original date are still valid?

As far as I'm aware, this is correct.

Thank you.

England expects .....

expect Kes to be out with a broken nose according to love rl website

I'm not sure that will stop him. He'll find it more painful sat watching. He played on in the Dewsbury game with the broken nose, and refused gas and air at hospital.

Im sure he will want to play, but if the medical advise is not to, im sure the club will heed the advise. By the look of the injury, not really expecting him to figure, but stranger things have happened .

erhh, et la France aussi S-O !

Why do I have a particularly bad feeling about tonight?

Maybe due to teams who are desperate can be very dangerous. Dons need to be completely focussed .

Reasons to be nervous:

1) Our performance levels have dropped considerably over the last few games. A further drop could see us get well beaten.

2) If York lose they are relegated. A bonus point means they are almost certainly relegated. They are wounded tigers. We saw what Swinton were capable of when their backs were to the wall.

3) York beat us easily when the teams last met.

4) There is some pressure on us to win as we need a home draw in the first round of the play-offs.

Reasons to be hopeful:

1) The lads will want to give Tony a good send off as coach and will be more up for it than ever.

2) If we play anywhere near our best we should certainly be good enough to win.

I've got a feeling that we'll come good tonight and it'll be a good game. We'll miss Kes if he's not playing though.

No post on the York forum - unless they post elsewhere..

Must win tonight as they are the bottom club and when you talk about increasing attendances then losing to bottom club at home will not bring people back.

We may have over achieved this season which may have sent us all a bit in the sky - but in any profession if you set targets and beat them i.e staying up - you don't then say job done you press on.
Been in sales etc all my life and that's just how it is...

IMO

PS before anyone suggest sales is different - I have also been a sports coach in varying sports...

Because you went last Thursday?!
