| We were beaten by the top side in the league .
Poor discipline kept giving them (Sheffield ) a helping hand. Thought Matt Carbutt had a good game .

| I thought Carbutt had his best game for a long time.

| Quote: Stand-Offish "The simple fact of the matter is that Sheffield has four special players, none of which are domestic, and those same players won the game, and for that matter probably most of the Eagles wins.
If we don't get some special players soon .... I'm off for good!!!!!!!!!
If we don't show some balls against Leigh then I think I'm off early, can't be d waiting for exciting players, we haven't had any for ten years.
They ain't coming!
Pretty much sick of crap efforts like this one.'"
I'm puzzled, who are the FOUR non-domestic players?
I've see some very good players over the years but I hope you will agree that it takes at least 15 to perform on any one day, and a squad of 25 or more to contribute long enough to win a cup or league.

| Technically we don't have any quota players.
I'm guessing he means QLT, Yere and Taulapapa, then it could be anyone of our 'Scottish' contingent Henderson, Szostak or Stringer

I was pretty much talking about the first three plus Brambani, irrespective of their heritage they are the stars of your side and we have nothing that can compare.
Without them you would be not much better than us.
Which is not meant to be disrespectful.
I think that you have got it right and we haven't.
And I can't for the life of me think why that should be, based on the size of your fan base.
I have said it before the Eagles are a very entertaining side to watch, and I am slightly jealous, not that I could be a fan mind.
Please don't say the Dons are a decent plucky side and to keep my pecker up.
Spare me that.
I'm in crisis. Luckily I am on holiday until the the Leigh game.

| Enjoy your holiday Stand-Offish. Life will look a lot better after a spot of rest and relaxation!
The Dons were second best and Sheffield deserved to win. We shouldn't be too downhearted because the effort was there from Donny and we were playing a very good team who were in very good form.
There are areas of our play that can be improved on and I'm sure Tony Miller will work with the lads to make things better.
We've come a long way in a relatively short space of time as a club. Winning the league last season was a great achievement and adapting and coping in this league is a big step up.
Of course, we all want to win every game and have flair players playing for us, but we've got to trust the club to use its money as wisely as possible. The quality of players Sheffield have compared to their attendances and perceived income means someone there needs a huge pat on the back for their achievement.
The Dons are moving forwards and we should be positive about the future.
Let's hope Paul Cooke's injury isn't as bad as we might have first feared. I've been a critic of Craig Fawcett this season but I thought he played very well with the added responsibility after Cookie went off. I agree with the earlier posters that Matt Carbutt had one of his best games for a long time.
I'm a big fan of Mick Butterfield and thought he did well on the wing but I'd like to see him at full-back with Lee moved back to centre.
Let's hope for a positive run of results for the rest of the season to build some confidence amongst the players and supporters!
