Castle, Robbo, Spiers, Carbutt, as the 4 props. Plenty of 2nd rows and all keen to play and give 100%. If Colbons attitude at Batley anything to go on forget Hull players.IMO

The Keepmoat is not like some grounds with pubs right next door that fans automatically gravitate to.
It is stuck on its own, the nearest pub is the Lakeside which is at the bottom of the Yorkshire Outlet opposite the ground.
Then there is the Cheswold the other side of the Lake. I suppose a few might go in there.
The ground has its own bar inside, which is up the concrete steps in the East Stand. You can get a drink there before the game.
I sup in Doncaster before the game, but there are no gatherings of Dons fans as such.
Three Wetherspoons in Doncaster.

We may get Jay Pitts but Hull fans report he is not 100% fit .

I think Richard Wilkinson is playing. Whether that is as a replacement for Danny Nicklas or not, I do not know.

Pub wise - I rarely see people in the cheswold, but often a few in The Lakeside. They do black sheep there. (Cheswold will often have a few cask beers).

It's cheaper at the Keepmoat now; so depends what you're after

Looks like Paul is one of those coaches who keeps things close to his chest regarding injuries .

Wilkinson could play full back or stand off , a lot will depend on fitness of other players eg Kes & Nicklas. Most likely to play off the bench for me.
Hope the 4 props mentioned are fully fit.

Dons currently being offered with a 14 point start on the Handicap Betting with both Bet365 & Skybet.

Bet365 are best-priced about a Dons win offering 5/1.

Ironically, I tend only to drink on match day after the match these days ... either locally after getting home or in the Town centre pubs such as the Angel, Gatehouse, Cask Corner and Tut n Shive.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm. pondering on the 14 point start.
Anyones thoughts.

With regard injuries we have 23 players , reading various reports we have 15 players who haven't got knocks or injured.

Waller def out , Kesik & Cunningham rumoured out , Welham , Castle , Nicklas , Starling & Spiers inj/knocks .

I donot believe every thing I read , lets see at about 2.50 pm


I am still optimistic .


COYD

Money taken over the bar at Keepmoat all helps to increase the takings and help justify our existence to our new owners.

good point.
Will pop up before match today.

Backed us with 14 start (also a small wager on the win at 5/1).

Thats a man who has faith in his team

A good win for team and WANDERER
