| I cant believe I keep wasting my time and hard earned money on such sub,standard boring mismanaged drivel.
No excuses from GT he should now do the honourable thing and walk, after just six games our season is over we will struggle to make the playoffs and even if we do we will be outclassed in the finals and humiliated once again. When i looked at the team sheet today I saw a team that should be good enough to compete with anyone in our league (excluding toronto) what I saw on the field was 17 rugby players who were hopeless, clueless and rudderless. The dwindling supporters will soon been finding better things to do on a Sunday unless Mr Hall makes major changes NOW.

| I wasn't overly impressed in the first half but we were outlying a mediocre London side. We seemed to be short of attacking ideas near their try line.
The second half capitulation was embarrassing, London weren't a good side but they were more committed than we were. To through away a 22-4 lead is poor.
We appear to have the players, but something has to change. Also we can't keep giving away cheap penalties, and letting teams get under your skin shows a lack of professionalism.
THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE AND SOON!

| That 2nd half was disgusting, I could write an essay but I really can't be d! just waiting for the chuckle brothers to come out with the usual guff 'GT: '2nd half wasn't good enough' CH: 'ahh listen ahh listen'. Were all bored of the old boys act and the politicians answers you give! if you really do love the dons you will not let this continue.

| I'm embarrassed to admit as a Donny fan that I was hoping London's penalty attempt at the death would go over, simply to see if this would finally trigger some response from the management re the coaching situation.
CH rang me pre-season to encourage me to renew my season ticket but I declined based on the performances served up last year and no change on the horizon being likely.
At least I can walk away when I choose without thinking about what else I could have spent my money on.
I'm at a loss as to why the same mistakes continue, especially giving penalties away on the last tackle. Was it 4 times today? I'm afraid I gave up counting.
We just look like 13 individuals, no clue or organisation. The tactic of dominating in the forwards is rubbish and isn't working, the wingers might as well not be on the pitch for what ball they see. It's just so boring.
Change needed and quickly.

| What is worrying also is some of the players are on 2 year contracts . Thought it was a good idea at the time , mind you I admit I thought GT would be a good coach, with his experience, at this level .
We will do well to make the top 8 at this rate .

| No more for me until there is a proper change of direction at the Club and fresh people running it. Carl Hall is simply taking this club no where.

| London looked very sluggish in the first half. Thank goodness we got that try on the half-time hooter to give us the lead we had or else things could have been even more embarrassing.
I think it was Feka's influence that made the difference in the first half as he was the one who made the line breaks and gave us some go forward. It was noticeable that he didn't come back on in the second half.
We were very poor with our execution going forwards. Our discipline was very poor and the back-chatting that led to us being moved back another 10 metres could have lost us the game near the end. Luckily the London kicker wasn't very good and missed.
This results probably confirms what we already suspected - we're about at the same level as London Skolars. Are London likely to feature in the promotion play-offs? No. Are we? No.
We have no spine to the team even though GT said he thought that was critical at the start of the season. I'm afraid the sad fact is that most of the players aren't of the required calibre to get us out of this league. If they're being well-coached it's not coming through on the pitch. Our Keith Senior impersonator certainly didn't seem to be bringing any pearls of wisdom out with him. We got worse after each of his pep talks behind the sticks.
I gives me no pleasure at all to say that I fear our season is going to get worse, not better from here on in.

| Another request to the club: can we go back to announcing substitutions please?
I wanted to see how Jordie Hedges performed today (not been convinced by him yet) and didn't even realise that he'd come off the bench.
Any opinions from out there?

In my opinion the weather and surroundings here in Skiathos are marvellous.
Vote with your feet ...I did and never buy a season ticket.
Can't wait for the three Cumbrian encounters.

| Difficult to see how CH can justify keeping this coach. Today was the day the final nail was knocked in the coffin.
The players have proved they are decent going by the second half performance at Headingley so a big problem has to be motivation. If there is unrest in the dressing room, and i'm sure there is then this will transmit on to the pitch.
Change is needed asap to enable the club to have some chance of the play-offs.
Do the right thing Carl and make the changes.
I'm sure someone like Lee Greenwood would appreciate a new challenge...

My guess is barry chuckle! From beating leeds in the 2nd half to getting beat 6-24 in the 2nd half by the skolars that's just unreal, the club reeks from top to bottom.
