Well done Donny, im usually covering Super League and as such i dont usually get to cover the lowewr reaches of the Championship but have done your last 2 games and its been a breath of fresh air at times, some of the Super League is so sterile and predictable compared to the Championships, ill have my stuff online tomorrow.

See ya all next week and good luck

What a team effort ! every one played his heart out. We could have been bullied out of the game but they were dumped on their fat a**es to the last minute. What a pity more fans missed out on another epic game.

What a lot of one-eyed blinkered fans you are. I was at the match today and you struggled against 12 men to get out of your own half in the second half. You deserved to win but come on if you think you can beat barrow playing like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair Hugh, most Dons fans have commented on a superb defensive performance from our part. Yes we are all probably slightly worried that we didnt have much ball, but you had 70 to 80% possession in the second half and you couldnt score. But to also highlight you had twelve men, ive seen plenty of games in my lifetime where teams with 13 men have been losing and suddenly following a sending off play a damn site better and win the game.

You certainly improved following the sending off and you had to. Two decent sides on the field today, but sorry, for so much possession and to be nilled. i cant think for one minute we will be forced to defend for as long next week (i bloody hope not anyway)

Yes I think Mr Mann has got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
I think that we did well to defend our lead, which must mean that we were under great pressure.
I think that says a lot for both sides.
It just happened to be Donny's day.
We had some luck at the right time.
Workington bombed their chances at times.

I think the Dons worked to a game plan that was based on good strong defence against a big strong team,without our main playmaker . Credit to Tony Miller and his staff.Set up to be hard to break down and executed perfectly ,as workingtons score suggests . Best team won.

Must say if it was our game plan to keep it tight in the middle and make it a forwards battle against one of the biggest packs in the division takes some balls and well done Tony.

Hate singling lads out after a great team display but imo Spurr tackled everything near him and Lucas made good strong yards everytime he had the ball.

Good to see another quality coach at the game as well yesterday,Agar was there watching again, hope he allows us to keep the duel reg lads again.

It will be a great day for SY RL next weekend. Let' s have both sets of fans getting behind our two teams and show the RFL how stupid they were in not giving us a single World Cup game between us in SY.

Up the Eagles!
Come on you Dons!

No-one's saying we ran away with it, Mr Mann. As other people are saying, the sending-off raised your game and it was a great backs-to-the-wall performance from us; it had to be. We were a bit predictable going forward but we took our chances and that was the difference. This Dons team is the best defensively I have seen in 30+ years of suffering.... er .....watching

. They have heart with a capital H. As for Barrow, we lost narrowly playing nowhere near our best, so who knows. My gut feeling is we'll need a bit more flair than yesterday to take the trophy but it'll be a close one....if we have 17 fit players that is

We also had a passenger in Cooke that match thanks to THAT off the ball incident - meant we had to suddenly change our entire game plan and we lost an important sub.

I am pretty sure we were down to 12 men for at least the last 10minutes if not more but still Worky couldn't score. Well done to al 17 who gave their all and fully deserved the win.
