Hakim Miloudi is in the Barrow squad for tomorrow.

Blimey, how the mighty fall….

The silence for this game comment wise speaks volumes about the decline of the Dons form and supporters hopes for the play offs(if we manage to squeak in) What would have been a rocking good atmosphere all around for this fixture has plunged into a palpable mood of indifference, and a here we are once again vibe.

Good luck to the 17 chosen and my goodness they are going to need it.

Tomorrow's game should be one of the highlights of the season but interest seems to be at an all time low.

Sad, but that's how it seems to be these days.

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

Bit of Kipling there. That's how it is for everyone right now. It really is about doing your best under difficult circumstances. This is an awful time for our sport which a couple of years ago was a period we were all looking forward to.

We've lost so much not just in sporting terms but in economic, social and personal terms.

I'm bored with moaning about it. I need a semblance of positivity so I'm there regardless tomorrow just to try to attempt normality!

I see parallels with Wigan v Saints the other night. Wigan were in a poor run of form, Saints had a blip the previous week against Castleford. Saints back to form, the result never in doubt.

I would be happy to be proved wrong ...

Dons +18 10/11 with Skybet.
A Dons win is 4/1.

Only 14 start with Bet365 at Evens.
The win is still 4/1.

A league 1 version of the Hull derby would suffice (best game of the year without a doubt)

We can live in Hope (Derbyshires most populated Town)

Interesting....
Have the Dons got a better than 20% chance of winning? If so, 4/1 would be a good bet.

For us to win today, it's probably fair to say we'd need Barrow to be below their best and we'll have to improve drastically of late. I think therre's about a 50% chance Barrow will win by 18 or more. The Dons outright win chances? I'd put it nearer 12.5% (one chance in eight or 7/1).

Have you had a bet, Gary?

I will not be there, but I hope the Dons can play with pride and rally and get a win.
The Barrow forwards will probably have other ideas.
But Barrow are a bit rocky too at the moment...dunno what their issue is for lack of form.
They were nailed on at one time.
Perhaps we can do it....

Decided to have a tenner on it myself Mike. You never know.

Good luck, Rob. I hope it's profitable investment! Which one have you taken, the outright win or the handicap bet?

Outright. 4/1. Fingers crossed
