Our match of the season so far. We must be massive underdogs !
Lets hope we have some forwards back , with Mike Kelly now joining Milton, J P-O, Tonks, Brad Nicholson & Williams on the injured list !
A big COYD

There is a piece in the RL Express about Toulouse today ....
In which they defend themselves against myths.
One being extra funding, the other being that they run a full-time squad.
We have only got SIX full-timers.
So that's a myth alright ...
PML!!!!

Toulouse have two coming back from suspension and still at least three out with injuries. Their small squad is survivng but the kids who have come in have looked pretty good.
Last saturday saw high temperatures with very humid conditions which made the ball sticky and which didn't do much for the flow of the game. Looks like Donny should enjoy better conditions when they play.
Any Donny fans travelling ?

Travel might be an issue for anyone going and possibly the team. Strikes planned for Friday in France for 3 days and rumours of rioting in Toulouse!

It would be good if it were postponed .... forever.

Travel could well be an issue with airstrikes starting at 0500 friday morning.
As for the 'riots', not quite but some marches planned for thursday by some unions.

Looks like the air traffic controllers have lifted the strike threat so most flights to french airports should go ahead normally.
Loads of rain down here so better playing conditions for Donny maybe ?

Disappointing result, to concede 46 points in championship one is very poor, if we want to establish ourselves as a solid competitive championship team then we are miles away, I am getting bored of this league.
Why did club Doncaster buy into the Dons, they said they would invest and had high ambitions, well we are still waiting .

I could accept our current position if we were still under the previous ownership led by Carl.

I am wondering if our squad just isn't good enough or do we need a change of coaching staff, I don't know the answer, I know I'm getting tired of our current position .
