So no full back, only 1 half back. I thought Horne said he learnt his lesson from last year and would have a more settled team this year. Seems to be numerous changes every game...

Still no word from the club on who Elliot Townsend is. Very poor

Full 19 man squad below:

Stefanos Bastas, Connor Bower, Ryan Boyle, Jack Brown (D/R), Kieran Buchanan (D/R), Matty Chrimes, Kieran Cross, Sam Doherty, Brandon Douglas, Brad Foster, Jordie Hedges, Jordan Howden, Kyle Kesik, Danny Langtree (D/R), Callum Ogden, Connor Scott, Russ Spiers, Jason Tali, Elliot Townsend.

I'm probably the most tolerant person you will see on here. Really do think we've wasted our money/been sold a pup on this "supposed" deal. It's pathetic.

It's OK until we lose ...

No Beryl ... injured apparently.
Looking light on creativity.
Could be tightish come Sunday.

FWIW, I think Brown should have had a couple of games in the 1st team this year. Looked great in pre season for us, think you'll like his style of play

Anyone know the status of Liam Harris? With the positions were lacking in he’d seem a perfect fit

I seem to recall he was out of action due to a back injury but I've not heard anything more over the last few weeks.

I'm really hoping Buchanan can play fullback. Don't want to start mucking about with our 3/4s just to keep Hull happy.

Well it's game day.
Any score predictions?
Workington losing yesterday was shock

Workington losing yesterday was shock

Skolars beating Workington shows any team in this league is capable of losing to almost anybody.

Nobody can afford to be off their game.

Much depends today on how the Hull lads fit in and what impact they'll have on the match.

Without Beryl we could lack a cutting edge and direction. With that in mind, I'll settle for any sort of win.

Ditto ....

Dons -32 @ 5/6 with Bet365.

A bigger handicap than I anticipated.

A lot bigger! I don’t bet on a dons games as a rule but would on that

I would but that would entail betting against them. Even if I think it's a good bet I can't do it!

Fwiw I would be DELIGHTED with a 32 point win. Not expecting it though.

Rob, if you put 20 quid on Coventry and the Dons win by less than 32 you have a 'double win'. You're happy because the Dons won and you're happy because you've won some dosh!

If the Dons lose, which we all hope they don't, you can drown your sorrows from your winnings.

If we win by 32 or more, you won't mind losing your £20!



Seriously, I'll be extremely pleased if we win by more than 32 today.

Still means betting against them DM. I hope they win by more than 32. They won't but can't actively want them not to if that makes sense?

Never betted against them. Never will. Some things are more important than financial gain

Bastas and Langtree missing from the original 19.

HT Dons 16 Coventry Bears 12

FT Dons 44 Coventry Bears 18

I've only ever bet on the Dons once (never backed against them) when they had to give up 50 points against Sheffield over 10 years ago. It looked like easy money. The Dons got 56 points up and then went to sleep. We clawed back to win by just enough and I won the bet. It took the edge off the win as I was getting stressed about the bet, so I've never subjected myself to it since!

I am happy with that win ...
Hunslet and Oldham lost .. so a good day result-wise.

However, what sort of side will we field against Batley?
Lost two more playmakers.

Some will say it doesn't matter in the cup, and yes we are not gonna win it.
I am thinking beyond that in the league.
We are set fair if we can get some halfbacks back or cadge them from Hull (not cup of course).

A dull day became a more interesting one in the second half.

Got a new name for Tali ... Tali two yards.
Is he bothered anymore?

Well done to Brown on his MOTM and Buchanan.

Brandon Douglas ... what a player!
