Well I'm sorry for such an outlandish prediction earlier in the week. Thinking donny were going to get within 20 points of us was crazy thinking. after we woke up it was a lesson from the boys in blue and in all honesty could of easily been 60. One set you had inside our 20 in the 2nd half, and we scored off your resulting kick. I would put that champagne away if I was you.

Two defeats in Cumbria (heavy I grant you) does not define the sodding season. It puts Barrow and Workington on joint pole position and they deserve to be there cos they have beaten us. Good few games to go and they will come to the Keepmoat expecting to get at the very least a bonus point. If as Newdon says the players are hurting then all we ask is to carry that hurt into the replays and give it back to em. Workington and Barrow are obviously very good sides on their own turf, however we are not so bad ourselves at home. I am guilty of not supporting away from home like Rugbyman and DF and the rest of a very loyal and supportive bunch of people, so be careful calling folk when it is quite appararent Newdon you appear to know very little about this group of supporters.They have stuck with this club through bloody horrible times and and terrible uncertainty. We are in the best situation for years, the best rugby for years and when they get served up what they call lack of attitude they have every right to say so. I respect that because I know them and they would not print it if they didn't witness it. End of rant and lets get the show back on the road.

Newdon I can tell you , this group of fans are unbelievable and have stuck with the club through thick and thin, they are also very knowledgeable and passionate about the game and their club, this entitles them to their opinion, even if you don't agree with it. If you pay your money then you have the right to cast your view as you see it. Our Performance was not good enough but it will be how we respond next week against North Wales that we should be judged on. Coyd

I think your expression at the end of thevgame said it all.

Topic ended now?

Yeah let's lock it and move on.
Disappointment only lasts for so long.
No use such as me raking it all over.
The danger is we take it out on each other, which nobody wants.

Will we be looking to get a replacement for Cowling while he is recovering? Or will we make do?

PS It would be nice for DonsNews to post some updates for us.
I know you are busy, but it would help.
Cheers.

Just wanted to put something on before the thread gets locked!

Everyone who has commented up to now has made valid points.The top and bottom of it was that Worky wanted it more. The key part of the match was after 20 mins when Whitehead and Thackery came on and it totally changed the game. Also what nobody else has commented on is that I thought Calderwood was superb.He was all over the pitch on the right wing one minute then running at the left side the next causing all sorts of problems.

As someone else has said it did look like we were blowing out of our ar$es for the last 30mins. Worky could have and should have scored well over the 50 mark if it wasnt for good goalline defence by some of our lads.

I was very disappointed at the end of the game and left as soon as the siren went.Its not like me as Im one of the regulars who stay until the team walk off but I didnt feel the lads deserved the clap off. Looking back I was wrong as I know the lads try their best and dont want to lose heavy.But it was the manner of the defeat which upset me as we seemed to just roll over and let Worky completely dominate down the middle.

Pick your heads up lads and lets get back to winning ways on Sunday.
