Take your nannying elsewhere ...
If you can't come on and not make snide remarks about posters, you are no better than them/us.
Aren't you connected with the club in some way?
If so you are not exactly free to criticise.

| being able to change your mind is a democratic right,and free speech.some on here did have a moan about the first half,and rightly so.no one could predict how much the game was going to swing.hind sights a wonderful thing.the lads were superb defensively and attacking in the 2nd half.foresight is a gift of only a few,nobody saw it coming.COYD

In answer to your question no I have nothing to do with the club just a supporter. Not that it is any business of yours. I also sponsor the club though my business for the past 20 years on and off.
And to the present day and it will continue.
Regarding the snide comments is that not what you have been putting regarding RH and the players on your Earlier posts !!!
Or is it only you that can do that and expect no Criticism

| That's harsh Richard. People are entitled to an opinion. It's clear you're targeting one poster who gives praise when it's due. There's only one person who's brought negativity to this thread after the win and it ain't SOIsh!

I am not referring to any one post it was SO winging not me. I don’t have a problem with any Opinions as we are all entitled to our own but when posting snide comments don’t winge about it when someone says something back

So you sponsor them and have nothing to do with the club?
Yeah, you sure don't!
I make criticisms where I see fit and will continue to do so.
People like you will not change that.
You have very little to say on here apart from times like this when you can lecture.
If you are unfamiliar with the right to free speech, we are not.
And RH unplanked himself in the second half or do you just read selected excerpts?
Please feel free to make some comments about rugby sometime.

As I have already said yes I do sponsor them as do other business That has nothing to do with running the club. Or am I missing something.bit of a silly question if you ask me.

I know that ... I said you had something to do with the club and you have, you sponsor them. But what kind of a sponsor would criticise the club?
So you can only have one public view and that is to back them however they are playing.
So it would seem that anyone doing so (being critical) is working counter to what you are trying to achieve and would annoy you.
I can say what I think however unfettered...
I am not wishing to be unfriendly here ... just in case you were unsure.
Do you really think anyone takes much notice of what I say or that what I say has any influence on the club or players?
Really?

I have changed my mind about the Dons' prospects.
What are the bookies odds now?

With Skybet the Dons are now 7/2 second favourites. Workington are now 6/4 favourites having won at Oldham.

| Having watched the game on Saturday I would like to give a well done to the team for the comeback, and getting a great result away against one of our the other supposed challengers.
First half we were shocking totally lacking in ideas and I don't think (with the exception of Wynne's break down the nearside) we broke their line at any point. We lacked punch up front, made silly errors (Chrimes tho he did redeem himself) and really didn't trouble the Newcastle defence. They looked comfortable at half time.
Total switch at half time, we looked much better in the 2nd half, more lively and had much more go-forward and we started well, put them on the back foot they never recovered, for as good as we were in the 2nd half, Newcastle were very ordinary, they took the foot off the gas and thought we were out of it. We scored some great tries, Hedges pass to Tali was a highlight, and Kes deserved his try for the way he took the second half by the scruff of the neck. Beharrell played Flynn off the park.
We got outta jail on Saturday we won't be as lucky going forwards, it also looks like we lost a few to injuries, if Howden's knee has gone again we need to move quickly to find a quality 6 (not a DR one) as its such a pivotal position.
I was pleasantly surprised with the result, but it hasn't allayed all my reservations regarding DR as yet.
(Hope I didn't change my mind too much for RichardC......apprently I insulted him on facebook...Carl told me so).

| It's a difficult one assessing that win isn't it?
Should you do an analysis or just leave it?
From a supporters point of view, and I am a supporter despite what certain people might say, no you shouldn't. That victory was a joyous thing and perfect in its own right.
However as coach, if I was one, I would have to analyse it.
And my analysis would have a lot in common with what Steve has just written.
Chicken and egg here, but surely Newcastle will be soul searching after that game. Their defence was appalling in that second half and they self destructed. Now I'm not bothered about Newcastle, but I am bothered about the Dons.
Two big off-loading lads up front and a good stand off make us favourites to win this division in my book.
I think many would agree.
We had a good stand off.
We don't have the two up front.
Over to you RH

| Fingers crossed Howdens ok. Definitely looked like ankle not knee so that is a positive of sorts. If it's a short term problem then we can temporarily switch either Cross or Hedges to 6. Possibly even Owen. Long term problem and we should be looking to bring someone in. Simples.

He would miss a few games with that.

| I thought Cross played really well when he came on.
He was a world beater before he got injured at Leeds
But he is best on the shoulder of the play makers ready to scoot through.

| May I post this quote from the Workington Chairman, Les Smallwood ... "We've got a big, aggressive and speedy pack, which we see as CRUCIAL in this division, and there are plenty of options when it comes to picking those six."
