I know I've only been around for five minutes but even I can see the guy deserves it.

I get back from sunny Greece this week so I hope to be there as Ray has always been a top bloke for me

Shame I have ragged in watching ... since I think Ray is a top bloke and we could possibly beat Batley.
But I have to stick to what I said.
Unfortunately.

As Quo once said, 'Everybody has to sometimes break the rules'.

Trouble is ... I told the wife and she will be holding me to it.

Ah, she who must be obeyed

Thought the wife would be eager for you to go out!

Dons +16 points 10/11 with Bet365, Betfred, BetVictor and Ladbrokes. These firms go either 5/1 or 11/2 a Dons victory.

I'm oooooop North for this one, well it's an excuse for a few beers if nothing else!

Batley came out second half, we didn't.

We were very poor in the 2nd half especially,NO support play,NO off loading all in all ANOTHER BLOODY SUNDAY.

Shocking 2nd half display , tackling & discipline was none existent after an encouraging first 40.

Shocking, but we will still resign most of them .... If our luck continues.

We don't look fit enough to compete for 80 minutes. We need other teams to be off their game (Batley first half) to stand a chance. Once teams get their act together (Batley second half) we're not able to compete.

First half encouraging, second half dire - no excuses just absolutely dire.

Same old familiar guff coming from gt "it was a game of two halves" "too many soft tries" "batley stepped it up in the 2nd half" where's the fecking pride? does anyone at club doncaster care were a laughing stock? the performances are as predictable as gt's and ch's after match analysis

It always puzzles me when coaches come out with guff that is merely a set of observations on the game that are in no way inciteful.
Spectators can see for themselves what is happening.
What spectators want to know is why, and furthermore if things are going tits-up what input came from the coach to remedy failings during the game.
That's his job ... he can't pan the team as though he has no input and responsibility or in some way they are ignoring him.
They should be following his instructions and if things are going wrong he should shift things about and tell them to stop doings things stupidly ... and if nothing changes that's as much HIS fault.
The fact is he can't put it right by the look of it.

Gary said .....

"John (Kear) must have had a word with them at half time, they seemed to run that little bit harder and they got a little bit of momentum and a roll on and we couldn't handle them."



That's a bit like hanging yourself saying something like that!

If players are playing for contracts for next season were gonna be about 12 short! its dull, predictable and passionless and the people we look at to rectify this just don't seem that interested. This may sound harsh but it's my honest feelings COYD

A year from now, we will laugh at these times ...

In a good or bad way?

This is the most beleaguered forum on the boards with only the South Wales Scorpions coming close.
I will be glad when it's all over.
There is nothing good to talk about, nor anything to look forward to with any confidence.
I have at least stopped watching the dross.
Just need to stop posting now ...

I think we've all run out of enthusiasm.
