I have got to say I was well impressed with the dons today, I couldn’t make my mind up if to go or not. I was glad I did go I enjoyed it if we can play like that even for half of the games we will do well,
makes me what to go to more games

I enjoyed the game also , we suffered a few injuries the starting props did not come back on , was impressed with the effort over 80 mins.

Sheffield didnt put their best team out , we had em scrambling at times.

We looked good at 6, 7 ,9 &13 today .

Agreed...some excellent individual performances today and a team that look to be gelling well already. I was pleasantly surprised and suitably encouraged. Well done to Tony and his coaching team

Thought overall it was a very entertaining match, Sheffield were probably good value for the win, with better fitness in the last quarter, but we out enthused them for long periods of the game which will put ut in good stead. Also think we would have scored more tries in the first half against a less well drilled defence.

PS...Left my team sheet somwhere. Can someone post it here?

Cheers

Glad I went today, I enjoyed the game and was encouraged by what I saw.

We've got some good young lads in the squad and I'm pretty sure we'll win
more than a few games (injuries permitting).

Hope number 6 is ok (Paul Brown ?). Looked like he twisted an ankle or Knee.

Well done to Everybody at The Dons. Keep up the good work.

Would people like me to start putting the team sheet on rlfans before kick off. Would probably be about 2.40 when I can get it on, so i suppose its only useful for people who can access rlfans on their mobile.

if theyres any interest, i can start to put it on, so waiting for feedback.

Hi Rob it would be good for us that are at the game to have the team sheet,because there are quite a few new faces and it will let us get to know them a little easier

Great stuff today from the lads. They all played really well and i was very pleased with the performance , loads better than i was expecting.Couple of notes as well; the try from Scott Howlett was fantastic, build up and the finish, and i thought Tommy Griffiths ran his blood to water today.

Well done lads and keep it up!

Yes,totally agree on todays performance we should be able to mix it with the best
in our division this season,the potentials certainly there to build on.
Well-Done lads.

Fantastic performance today.

If that is maintained at C1 level we should do ok.

Unfortunately, the injury to the stand-off looks like a break (hope I'm wrong).

Jemmo m8, message me a reminder at next game, otherwise i will forget until i get in the habbit of posting it

A very promising performance which we were unlucky to lose
Lost our way a bit when no 6 went off, thought his kicking game reminded me of Luke Gale. May now reconsider and buy a season ticket. Thought Griffiths and no 9 were outstanding today. Lets hope they can kick on from here

Totally agree, fantastic team performance, impressed by fitness levels this early in the season.Looking forward to some great competetive games this season. Well done to Tony looks like he has put a great squad of talented lads together. Stand out performances, no 1,6,9,13 Awesome try from youngster Howlett, if thats what the kid can do at 17yrs as well as the performances from some of the other young lads the future of the Dons looks great

hope it's not true but heard in the boozer after the match that it could be a broken ankle for brown(6).
not see or heard this to be confirmed so hope it was just ale talk.

Got to say that i was really impressed with the way the guys played today, and as stated before if we can play like that and hopefully improve as we get more game time, then the season will be a good one.

Well done to the coaching team and the boys who played today, thought Tommy Griffiths was outstanding today, but cannot fault all of the guys today, must also say thought the half back pairing looked good today.
