I'd take anything above the bottom 3, we had a chance to kick on and make another statement with new signings but i genuinely don't feel we're any better than last season, i don't think relegation will be an issue but we lack pace, creativity and have probably the oldest squad in the competition, watching the game on sunday was tough as we didn't look like scoring and the plays were all too predictable, the fact we had to call a friendly off due to insufficient players is amateurish considering we are supposedly targeting the play offs, horne certainly has his feet nicely tucked under the table and is club doncaster blue eyed boy, there's no fire in his belly and in his interviews after games you can't tell whether we've won or lost? Keeps bleating on about the things we have to work on when in truth he's had over 6 years to work on things, if you was a player would you be willing to run through a brick wall for him? With all that said I'd take another mid table finish COYD

I don't think our recruitment has been bad ,however I would have liked to see another halve brought in as I don't see any creativity from Connor and Ben at the moment ,and other than Watson I'm thinking were the club looking at getting Abdull , Charles or Cust from Hull as part of the DR. Jacob Jones and Edene Gebbie both looked good, and I was surprised at the size (in a good way) of Savelio , he's a lot bigger than I'd imagined ,and can see him being a wrecking ball when he gets on the park. Hopfully we can improve our performance against Sheffield and set a platform for the year,............ as other than Guzdek I think we have a better sqaud than last year ,but so do most of the other sides.

Are you not worried about the lack of pace or age of the squad?

[quote="Kick and chase":usomtigy]Are you not worried about the lack of pace or age of the squad?[/quote:usomtigy] No, I'm more worried if it's true that Matagi and Pauli are still playing Union for Bradford as if one or both are carrying injuries then we look light as Bowden doesn't look fit and whats happened to Baldwinson? I think Jono and Connor have been great for us ,however Jonos show and go is known throughout the league and Connor is one dimensional in my opinion and doesn't scare defences I am more than happy to be proved wrong, but if they don't perform against Sheffield I can see Watson reverting to half or even a new arrival , be it DR or loan.

Baldwinson if we see him? Bowden at 33 and picked up a knock, misky 30 who is not better than burns or watson, savelio who will probably miss more than he plays! You can't tell me the recruitment has been a strong one this season
