Yes please; make mine a black sheep

Bet365 now in line on the Handicap ... Dons -4. Still a best price of Evens though.

The Dons have turned into a charitable trust.
Cookey hang your head in fooking shame.
Sheffield are worse than Swinton and were piggybacked to victory on the back of two pointless penos and Cooke failing to find touch on a peno.

RANK!

What has happened to us over the last 3 weeks? We have held leads and thrown them away. I know we have injury problems but what the hell is going on.

We got a bonus point .... thank fook!!
I can't be doing with rank decisions.
I can't be doing with Eagles fans gloating when they were piggybacked by a shiite ref and a shiite load of silly penos.

Ref was poor, but he didn't miss tackles or allow numerous offloads, architects' of our own downfall. Need to tighten up and move on, and not let our season fizzle out.

Agree 100%. TBH Cooke has been poor for his last few games now - perhaps time for him to retire and focus on his coaching?

As for the rest of the team we seem to conspire to throw games away now it seems. It's like we are playing limbo: how low can we go?

Poor

Obstruction in front of line, cant play ball in front of line, get up and drop ball, can't find touch, 2nd go after tackle, pass above a players head....need I go on.

At 10 mins to go Eagles had run out of ideas and we single handily gave them the game.

Can somebody sit down and just explain to the guys that poor decisions and poor discipline is simply the basics that new players are coached on.

I hope Spurr is strong enough as number 2 to critique Paul also

Last few weeks keep reading the boys are hurting etc etc...

We threw that away and in front of a decent crowd....see previous posts on how to increase attendances......

I don't much care about play offs but finishing as high as possible is just business sense for next season.

No doubting the effort in the main, but who is making the calls on the park and who is being held accountable when making the above. Ref was poor BUT Eagles knew how once in front how to play... What are the half back options for rest of season as next week is going to be one of the hardest yet...

Castle well deserved MOTM.

We were well in control of a game at 22-12 and no reason to lose,
UNTILL the 2 players who were making in roads and sheffield couldn't handle{ WATERMAN AND DUNN }
AND HE TAKES THEM OFF!!!! AND THEN HE GOES AND CAN'T FIND TOUCH AND SHEFFIELD SCORE!
Well PC you lost us a game we should have won comfortably.

Ref was still absolute rank again i don't know where he got half his decisions from.

Season going from good to bad in 3 wks. Can't believe it.

The only good thing out of today is that Dewsbury and Batley lost.

i think for next season we need some proper bigger,wingers with pace that can beat someone on the outside.
We don't have anyone who can do that, i think sandos time has probably come aswell,
he was through today and couldn't beat them for pace and his size probably lets him down aswell.

I am not putting him down just making a fact and next season will be even harder.
Bradford and London should be favourites to finish in the first 2 places which leaves a massive scrap for the other 2.

Glad I am away for a fortnight because I think we are playing like pricks and I need a break from mediocrity.
Sheffield were shiite but won.

Wilful stupidity I can't forgive.
That is what is had come down to.

Onedon I refer to your post at 9-11pm on july 21st whos whinging about the team now?

Don't think they would have caught Hodson but a poor game out of position at full back seems to have cost him his place on the wing!

never went today as away on holiday but with 4 games left and sitting 4th I think its been a great effort from all involved. I certainly think its been a great season 6 points clear of Dewsbury its our 4th place to lose and after the season so far would be disapointing if that was to happen. Go again next week and i will be there to cheer on the lads COYD

i asked the same question on twitter but he is away on Holiday, booked before he re-joined us

It was poor today , both sides were poor in defence , Sheffield had the edge in creativity.
We missed Wilkinson & PC had a poor game but just lets remember we are in 4th & PC has done a good job !

Lets get behind the boys next week against an in form Workington !

And i also said people wasn't reading what i said properly.

I wasn't on about people winging i was on about the people who say they won't go again, ESPECIALLY AFTER ONLY SEEING ONE GAME thats a big difference.
I WILL STILL GO AS I ALSO POINTED OUT ON THAT POST.
And i am not whinging i am stating a fact that PC lost us the game.
i did also say i wasn't saying anymore because people was reading into the wrong things
just like you have again.

Ok hope he's enjoying his hols more than I enjoyed the last 10 mins of the game!

We are in in fourth, so we can play like amateurs.
How much longer can we rely on it's been a good season?
We've been shiite for a month.

Yes we are 4 th and I think we have a really unlucky season with injuries which shows in the size of squad. I also don't think we have really had the best out of the DR. We need a bigger squad and some better players and ditch DR as a club. Which will be harder if finish with less money and smaller attendances. None of which is helped by the teams overall inability today to make sensible decisions and carry out no end of penalties. Sorry to say but this is something that club has not had right for years. You give away niggly penalties you cost the team and hence you should get dropped that was infuriating today and if PC acts like March then that ain't going to help. Get in the training room privately and sort it out. Pity Grant Edwards sat in stand on not on pitch playing today. We've dropped the ball somewhere there. If they don't change like has been promised last few weeks Worky will destroy us.

Needed a scrum half today and for rest of season and thought Miller was sure to be in the side with Wilkinson out. Spav tried but not good enough. Problem in the last 4 matches as no one else on books and too late to sign. Miller was not in Hull squad Friday so unless injured have we said goodbye to DR for the rest of the season? Miller would have to play in 3 of remaining fixtures to be available for play offs.

Onedon I suggest you read your post from July 21st again it states
"Oh I have been watching over 35yrs as well & I am still here & as I said once before to the other one that is always whinging about the team Mr G Roebuck"

Times change but I will always be here whatever happens as long as we have a club.

Some observations from yesterday;

We were certainly better than at Keighley.

The first 20 or so minutes of the game probably defined the outcome. Playing a man short for half of the first half was almost certainly going to impact on us late on. Even allowing for the numerous individual mistakes (in fairness Sheffield also made a good few) playing 13 against 13 it was a pretty even contest, which early in the second half we started to edge. However, not being able to pull any further away than 10 points always left the opposition in the game and some of our players were certainly starting to feel it late on.

Once again we had no kicking game to speak of. In fact it was kicked out of play in general play (on more than one occasion) and left in play from a penalty.

We are really starting to struggle for creativity.

No point in mentioning the officials ...

Is Misi Taulapapa the Eagles captain (he must be I guess) as he seemed intent on discussing absolutely every decision with Mr Leatherbarrow?

We'd have taken 4th at the start of the season ... It's still ours to lose.

COYD!

He was yesterday.

To be fair, most of Mr Leatherbarrow's decisions were questionable.
