I can't help thinking that it sums up this season that we have got to almost tea-time on Friday without having a thread started for the week-end's fixture. Must be unheard of and sadly suggests a distinct lack of interest.

I will immediately point out that this is an observation and definitely not a criticism. I won't be there myself so I am certainly not 'casting stones'.

19-man Squad;

Scott
Sanderson
Hodson
Gilbey
Welham
Waterman
Doherty
Fox
Mennell

Clark
Kesik
Waller
Snitch
Musolino
Foster
Emmett
Carbutt
Spiers
Kelly


We've gone from 1 winger last week to 4 this week.

1 half back.

No D-R.

I think a lot of people prefer to use facebook to be fair. As for the game, with the way we look confidence wise, hard to see us winning, but I live in hope.

I don't doubt that, I just can't recall getting to this time on a Friday with no game-thread.

wonder if he's thinking of putting Hodson in the halves

Thought Nicklas needed more game time and with Mennel in the 2nd half last week we started to show a few more attacking options. Walton (2 tries at London I think it was) should be available and better than some of the options in the squad. But only my opinion.

Maybe like a battered housewife some of us have had enough and are taking a stand! (dont worry i haven't opened my 4 cans of stella yet )

... and those that do would get no argument from me ...

Sadly, for a great many, the joy has gone out of watching the Dons based on this Season's performances (and I do mean performances - we couldn't expect a repeat of last season's 4th place finish but we were entitled to expect better performances than have been served up this season).

Ah so that's why no Walton. Good luck to him but suppose getting him used to championship 1 rugby!

Oxford ... Curiouser and curiouser!

Dons +24 10/11 with Skybet (+20 Evens with Bet365).

9/1 (Skybet) to win the match.

The batley -20pts with bet365 looks an early xmas present, we dont look like we can keep a team under 40pts and a trip to mount unpleasant is not the easiest

Now +22 Evens with Bet365.

Team;

Sando it would seem.
