Well it's time to watch the Dons again after yet another mini-eternity, and this time it should be a match-up.
Barrow on their record are the best side in this division up to press.
It's arguable whether Workington are a better side at the moment and Donny too.
They are like us hard to beat on their own patch, but beatable away from home.

So what do we think?
We are playing them at a time when we have a few injuries, but so do they.
Darren Holt said the other week that he is out for a spell owing to an injury (groin I think), but I wouldn't put it past him to turn out against the Dons. He's our nemesis!

We are down to one winger, so unless Colton has shaken off his achilles trouble, someone will have to make do.

I'm a good whinger, would that help?

There's no doubt we are capable of scoring enough points to win most games, but will need to defend better in the coming two fixtures. Hopefully it was because we were just a tad complacent whilst chasing a big score. Tom Hodsons pace will be missed, as at home the Dons like to use the full width of the pitch,which has been a big part of our home performances. The forwards will know they are in for a battle, and the bench will play a big part. I think we'll win ,by how many?, anyones guess

Ill start the guess the score going then ,. Dons 38. Barrow 18. I will be well pleased with that

Think we all would be

Dons to score thirteen points (or more) than Barrow, that will do nicely. Should be a cracker and the next two home games are what it is all about. Can't wait.

44-20, thereby maintaining our record of never having scored less than 40 points in a home game all season.

I just hope that the Barrow supporters go back to Cumbria as bewildered and disappointed as I was when I went (foolishly) to Barrow.

We have got to get a grip on Liam Harrison, particularly in the second half.
He plays as though he is a left centre, which he is not, he is a forward, but that's where he goes looking for holes. But if he's not stopped, he will damage us big time.

He is instrumental in lots of Barrow tries
He was the gamestar in their last game.
Miller take note.

i think tony will be alert to all the dangers in the barrow team he aint no fool he will have watched the dvd,s worry not the dons will come out on top, have faith

Did he not watch one before we went to Barrow then?

And yes, I do not share this wild euphoria that sees us beating Barrow easily and putting 40 points by them.

They have already made us look poop once already.

We are obviously a different prospect at the Keepmoat, but I ain't counting my chickens.

Barrow are not top for nothing, have not lost for ages and they did considerably better in the Puffers Cup than us.

COYD

if he did not see dvd,s prior to our visit to barrow we can forgive him as it was only our 2nd league game of the season,unlike barrow we did not take the puffers cup that seriously

If I remember right didn't we lose poss first pass from a scrum on our line right on half time at there place which they scored off.and another silly error early in the second half gave them another try.which in my reckoning makes it nowt in the game..its time to rock with the big boys.bring it on. C. O y. D

There is a full page devoted to the Dons in the Free Press this week. Which is nice. Anything to do with the Rovers link?

Carl tells us 'We're singing from the same hymn sheet'.
At first I thought this might be a reference to the new ties with the Rovers, but no.
It's about singing on the coach to away games.

Tony leads with 'Miller relishing a 'massive' clash'.
The Barrow game.

Paul Cooke has a player profile. You know question and answers.
Favourite film ... the Shawshank Redemption etc......
A top film, one of my favourites too.

However, the most worrying quote (

so did most clubs in our league you was just lucky then . and you aint my mate .
