| I feel sorry for whoever had the unenviable task of choosing a man of the match.
Full credit to Coventry, they never gave up and certainly looked the more enthusiastic, especially in the second half.
Our experience shaved it but not by much. We spent far too long looking rudderless with no spark or direction from the three quarters.
I'm getting bored watching games now.

| We won in difficult conditions. We restricted them to one try. They're the positives. The negative aspect is that there's plenty to be concerned about.
Many of our attacking plays are awful. We look very disjointed. We should have scored on a few occasions when we had opportunities to get the ball out wide but we either read the situation wrong or the execution was poor. I was hoping that I'd come away from today's game a little more optimistic about our promotion chances but I didn't.
There is much work to be done....

| As i said last week centres and wingers redundant, and we will go nowhere with this coach.
we have good players who are being stifled by someone.
the most exciting thing i saw all afternoon was S. O drawing out the half time winner,
if it carries on much like this then will not be going to many more games, great for insomniacs, don't take a sleeping tablet
just put a dons match on, be off in 5 mins!

| No spark , its a good job Coventry were worse than us .
Yes the conditions were not ideal , we need someone to get the backs going . Miller tried , Howden did 1 lovely kick out wide which lead to a try.
It was boring & that style of rugby will not bring back the fans .
It can only get better !

| Got to agree, irrespective of personnel problems, that was seriously BORING!
If that performance can be spun by the management as being on course for promotion then we can polish turds.
That was a dreadful performance ....
I thought we had halfback and centre problems, sorry to have to say but this idea we had about forward power has also evaporated.
There are some good players in this side though, I would guess about 8 of the 25.
Organisation though is completely shot.
I feel sorry for Charlie Martin ... he is better than this garbage.
Let's face it if it had not been for Coventry's number 5 and his cock-ups it would have been a damn sight worse.

| Match watched through rose-tinted glasses by the Free Press reporter.
Positive spin or what?!?!

| The writer clearly doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.
If the likes of the Free Press want to be taken seriously, they've got to do a lot better than this.

| "Only two sides conceded fewer points than the Dons and only five sides scored more points than the Dons."
"What are these fans moaning about?"

| Having slept on yesterdays game , a couple of points 1) yes the conditions were poor but I was very disappointed with a fair number of the players yesterday ! We should have won by 50 no disrespect to Coventry .
2) Was quite pleased with the team selected but we do not seem to have a plan B , was Castle injured he did 20 mins & no more .
The try Coventry scored was due to some shocking defensive work, we were still in the tunnel . GT could leave out several players after yesterday & there could be no complaints !

Can I ask in your opinion was that because it was 'just Coventry' in the players minds or maybe a general apathy that was in the team.

| In my opinion a bit of both .
We are missing a bit of flair in the forwards which Tonks & may be Hanson could offer .
