Maybe like a battered housewife some of us have had enough and are taking a stand! (dont worry i haven't opened my 4 cans of stella yet

)

... and those that do would get no argument from me ...

Sadly, for a great many, the joy has gone out of watching the Dons based on this Season's performances (and I do mean performances - we couldn't expect a repeat of last season's 4th place finish but we were entitled to expect better performances than have been served up this season).

Ah so that's why no Walton. Good luck to him but suppose getting him used to championship 1 rugby!

Oxford ... Curiouser and curiouser!

Dons +24 10/11 with Skybet (+20 Evens with Bet365).

9/1 (Skybet) to win the match.

The batley -20pts with bet365 looks an early xmas present, we dont look like we can keep a team under 40pts and a trip to mount unpleasant is not the easiest

Now +22 Evens with Bet365.

Team;

Scott
Doherty
Welham
Waterman
Fox
Sanderson
Mennell
Carbutt
Kesik
Spiers
Kelly
Musolino
Snitch

Emmett
Waller
Clark
Foster

Sando it would seem.

FT ... Batley 34 Dons 6

Just waiting for the pleased we kept them out for the last 23 mins load of crap, once again no shape and clueless in attack but hey were building for the future! looking forward to around thursday ish when we hear from the powers that be how unlucky we were. RANT OVER

Looks like we might make a season record this year then. The only team not to win in a season

It's been a shocking season yes and you can't currently see where a win is coming from, but we have some way to go to match Runcorn Highfields longest losing run of 61 competition games (over 2 years).

Ouch now that's really shocking let's see what we can do with the last few games .he says optimistically

The trouble is we wont hear anything from the powers that be until late weds or thursday then it will just be a case of begging supporters to buy tickets for the next home game! which other rugby club runs like that?

Lacking confidence,ideas,etc but not helped by a ref who gave Batley one penalty after another and when the damage was done tried to level the count well into the second half. Not the reason we lost but even the Batley supporters acknowledged the forward pass for for one of the early tries. How do we come close to beating Dewsbury who have turned Fev over today and perform like this today?
