Penalty count 11-5 in our favour.

May be the penalty count was 11 - 5 in our favour , but i thought he had a poor game and didnt get much help from the touchies !

FOR WHAT YOU FOUR OR FIVE HAVE TO SAY ON HERE DOESNT REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE CLUB.TO BE HONEST I DONT THINK THE CLUB IS INTERESTED IN ALL YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS.IT SEEMS TO BE YOU'VE ONLY GOT THINGS TO SAY WHEN WE GET BEAT,WOULD BE OK IF YOU HAD FACT'S RIGHT FOR ONE GARY ROB LUNT IS OUR PLAYER AND SIGNED WITH US TILL END OF YEAR HE IS NOT ON LOAN,MY QUESTION TO YOU FOUR OR FIVE, I DONT HAVE TO NAME YOU BUT HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME? OR ARE YOU JUST ARM CHAIR PLAYERS!

I agree, I am sadly getting used to a very poor standard (wouldn't fancy it myself though) ... I think we've had one good one this season

... all that said I don't think that it had any effect on the outcome TBH.

When the signing was announced, it was stated he was on loan ... if that's changed then so be it ... or was the original announcement from the Club incorrect. Only commenting on what was stated at the time.

Not true ... suggest that you read various other threads ... there are plenty of complimentary comments ... however, I pay my money and I call it as I see it.

Martin the people who are making the negative comments are regular supporters including myself who cannot understand team selection.
If we were told more about who has left , injured or unavailable etc we may not be as critical !
You have to admit we have been poor the last 2 weeks after the vast improvent in form which lead to the Rochdale win, which I am sure was applauded on this site. I for one am dissapointed with the dip in form !

Could the Official Site - Squad list be kept upto date .

Finally this is a fans forum & its a free country !

i agree..everyone is right to there opinion.at the beginning of the season the club said as long as we are still here ,with no debt and have started to build a foundation then that would be deemed as a success for this year,this was agreed by the fans.we would be happy with one win never mind five that we have up to now.it is annoying when we dont play well but we are wont become a top side over night. we have a young side which given time will get better and better.stick with them,im sure the club will keep the majority of the squad and with a good pre season together the team will go forward next season.

Yet, you feel the need to read them and respond to them???

As weighman stated this is a fans forum. Therefore there will be positive and negative opinions expressed, probably dependent on performances ... note, I say performances not results ... I understand that at the moment there are better teams in the division than us and no-way do I expect to win every game ... what I am looking for is a level of consistancy and some progression in performance. Check the Rochdale match thread ... complimentary comments but I think it's fair to say that performances since then have been disappointing.

A club that is not interested in the comments of its fans?
Fans who have never played the game.....so their views don't carry any weight.
Watching the game for twenty or thirty or more years simply doesn't qualify a fan to put a critique together?

Armchair fans are people who sit in an armchair and watch sport on TV.....we are not armchair fans since we go to games and are the one's keeping this club afloat.
We are the customers and we are perfectly entitled to criticise the product being sold.....and if we don't like it enough we will stop buying it.
So 'the customer is always right' should be remembered.

The Dons have had plenty of praise on here this last season. I for one have bulled them up above their actual level of achievement, but when they perform like the uncoordinated team of yesterday, we need to comment on it.

This 'young' Dons team HAD been improving week in week out right up to the Rochdale game and there was every expectation we could have given York and Blackpool a run for their money......and made the play-offs but this team now looks no better than when we first started...they have given up on the play-offs.

I look forward to the Workington and Gateshead games which at least should be wins.

Well i have played the game but that does not make me any different from fans who have not played.

So what you are pointing out is that because you have not played the game then you cannot be critical of your teams performances.

And a club is not bothered about fans thoughts whether positive or negative??

And lastly please could you not post in capitals.

This is the reason Damien Munro got irate over our third try yesterday....

Yes, the word 'Short' springs to mind.

Donny was bit late taking that picture....the two Blackpool players had pulled our player back by then.


More evidence of the quality of Merrick and his merry men.

[iWow! ... all this and no Trotsky yet ... he'll make some of this look complimentary if he tells it how it was in the bar straight after the game.

I'll keep my peace until tomorrow, just so a certain gentleman connected with the Club doesn't come out with his ... 'he shouldn't post when he's had a drink' rubbish. [/i
Sorry Mr Wanderer couldnt use the quote thingy for some reason.

The players didnt look like they could be d for most of them game, so I couldnt really be bothered turning my PC on.

Basically we looked out-enthused (if such a word exists) which would indicate either the players no longer want to play for the club, or someone is unable to motivate them before kick off & at half time.

Half of the team did nt look like they d met each other before 3pm yesterday and the other half looked like they did nt know how to catch a ball. Can you un-coach players as I m sure they did at some games this season.

However my opinion is not worthy as I ve never played the game, just continually pump money into the club.

Maybe the club should realise that they are not Leeds or St Helens and that people will not continually turn up if they don t see any effort, which is all I ask for and possibly something a little more riveting than one up rugby and the best players left twiddling their thumbs on the sidelines or carrying water bottles.

Just noticed the quote tab so I must still be too upset to see things clearly

if im honest i think team morale is very low at the minnute. some of our better players are getting dropped for no apparent reason and getting substituted after a pathertic amount of time on the pitch. i spoke to kesik after the game and he cant seem to understand why he was substituted when he didnt think he was playing badly. also the taking off of tommy after him not playing in recent weeks. cant be good for the lads at all.

Have to agree with the Kesick one probably our best go forward player and deffo imo an 80min player.
As for taking Tommy off he did look like he'd taken a bad knock.

Its clear that we are not expecting to win every week but are expecting to see a team that put their heart and sole into the game. Clearly that didn't happen on Sunday. It appears Miller keeps messing around with the team. If this is enforced then surely a little insight into this will help us to understand. I don't think Kesik has had a full game yet, why not? He seems to have a good engine and is one of our best consistent players. I'm sorry but the 'he was not too well in the week' line doesn't wash. Why was Danny Stanley the water boy? Is he injured, was he dropped, didn't he train? Probably our best forward wasn't playing. Until we are able to put our best team on the pitch week after week (injuries providing) i don't honestly see us getting any consistency with the performances.

This ....

[iChris Spurr is the 'old head' in the Dons team battling to make the Co-operative Championship One play-offs.
The much-travelled centre celebrated his 30th birthday in midweek and is hoping to give himself a belated present with victory over high-flying Blackpool at the Keepmoat Stadium tomorrow (3pm).[/i

... was from Saturday's Star.

Intriguing that he didn't play on Sunday?

A giant hangover??

[u[iWhy was Danny Stanley the water boy? Is he injured, was he dropped, didn't he train? Probably our best forward wasn't playing.[/i[/u

Danny has been on a training course the previous game and i think hes missed some training sessions leading upto last weekends game so automatically wont be selected i believe.

unfortunately chris and his family were involved in a car accident late on friday, hence the reason he didnt play sunday,obviously with the paper now going out first thing in the morning it would have been to late for the club to put it in the paper on saturday. chris suffered a sore neck and back and i understand his family are recovering well,obviously shocked from the accident.

Just to be fair to everyone who posts on this forum--

[size=150[uYour[/u[/size previous post on here was the following-
[size=150The one thing that winds me up is when you see most off these players who have left playing for there new clubs, is it me or do they seem to put more effort in than they did for the dons[/size

Is that not a negative comment?


All the true fan asks is for the team to wear the colours of the Dons with pride and play with fire in their bellies and give 100%.

----[u[size=150This did not appear to happen last Sunday[/size.[/u

[size=150[uThe Team are better than that performance[/u[/size

Sorry to hear about the accident but pleased that all are recovering well.
