Took time to reflect before posting on here. On the way to the game i commented on how well the Dons had done over the past few months, putting together a string of hardworking performances. I had the buzz well and truly back.

By the end of the game, i felt drained. How can we play so badly?

We are desperate for an experienced half back, who can marshall the team around the park.
We were totally shambolic in the last 20. Our left edge attack in the closing stages, was Dee, Carbutt, Morrison and Potts, it no wonder Morrison & Potts didnt get the ball.
We had two attacking plays yesterday (other than a forward drive) and they were a telegraphed inside pass to Hughes or Butterfield or Spaven kicking for himself.

Tactically inept, lets hope it was just a bad day at the Office, because the players are far far better than that showing

And it looks like another place dropped in the table if Rochdale beat Gateshead by 12 points or more this weekend, if I've done my sums properly.

Looks like our inability to pile on the points against Gateshead both home and away so far could be costly in terms of league position.

We could really need a cricket score in the last home match.

Is Sanderson injured, he has played well all season and should be in the starting line up if fit. We need to also slow the PTB down especially defending down slope otherwise its suicide, against slower teams we get away with it but its something we have done all season.

Your right Moonlight I suppose we might be being a bit harsh, we all would have snatched hands off to be in this position at the start of the season. I just hope Keighley was a one off and a wake up call for everyone.

COYD!

I'm back off my hols and damn good it was ...but to see that Keighley had beaten Swinton was a blow.
Perhaps they are better than I thought and it was their skill that made us look so pathetic at Cougar Park.
Either way we looked like a team going nowhere.
Very, very disappointing after all the good work and the anticipation. We truly had no attack and ran out of ideas faster than a beer festival runs out of beer when Wanderer goes!!!

Think it would be fair to put it down to a really bad off day for the team. With a few injuries that really didnt help. We clearly have some great players within the team. As shown in this months rugby league world. Well done to chris spurr and kyle kesik for being in the championship 1 team of the month (kessi's is at stand off too) And to butterfield who come 2nd in the fullbacks list. So glad to see that 2 of those have signed for next year too.
