If someone from the club ever told a fan or fans to "do one" then I'd never attend a Dons match again.

Fans are entitled to voice an opinion, that is the whole point of this forum.

The club and fans do need to interact and work together though. Unfortunately some of the match day decision taken this year have left me feeling like the fans are seen as an hinderance to the club rather than an ally. We need more than just attending and watching from the stands to keep fans invested in supporting the club.

I know people who have gone from being die hard home and away fans, who stuck with the club through the clubs various financial difficulties and would normally watch whether the dons were winning or losing, who have now lost interested in even attending home matches. I feel that way too to some extent.

With regard to the on-field issues, three things are apparent to me;

1) The retained players are struggling to replicate last seasons form

2) The new signings, with a couple of exceptions, are not ready for the quality of opposition faced in this season's Championship

3) The link with Hull FC does not currently seem to be offering the same benefits as last season.

How this is turned around, I have to say I do not know. Clearly I hope that the Coaching staff do but it won't be easy.

With regard to 1), once the confidence goes and losing becomes a habit, it must be extremely difficult to break the cycle, especially as the opposition this season is much tougher than last.

Where 2) is concerned I have to admit to being in the camp where I agree that the recruitment could and should have yielded some more experienced players considering the Championship was always going to be much tougher this season.

And then we come to 3) ... We have rarely had players who may make a difference and then only fleetingly ... With the greatest of respect to Hull and the players we have had, it really hasn't improved us any thus far.

It sounds like signings may be on the horizon ... they need to be able to hit the ground running and able to compete at this level if we are to start to turn the season around.

I think really something has to change quickly to salvage anything from this season be it playing staff or maybe (much as I will get grief for this) coaching staff.

Something is not working and now we have started to loose quality players with a proven record at this level I do fear the worse for the season.
