They're starting to come a little closer to our way of thinking.
Have you been able to get on Oldham at a decent price?

| Kept it simple. 8/11 for the win with Bet365.
If I'm wrong, at least the Dons will have got a result.

| I just hope we don't get beat without putting in a serious effort and we have one of those Dons eighty minute games that puts a smile on everyone's faces. Come on lads get the attitude today spot on.

The psychology behind today's game, both for the fans and players, is fascinating.
If we win, we'll probably be more confident we'll at least finish second. As a consequence, we won't fear Oldham too much if we play them at home in the play-offs.
If we lose, we might finish behind Oldham and have to visit their place again in the play-offs. This time confidence would be much lower. Should we lose by more than 12 today, confidence would be pretty low.
Of course, one game is only one game but in the context of this league, the matches against your main rivals count for much more. Top of the table rivals have very few games in which they might realistically drop points.
If we lose today, we can't win the league unless we beat Dewsbury and they also drop points against someone else.
If we lose today, to get back above Oldham, they'd probably have to lose at Dewsbury and we'd have to beat Dewsbury.
Hunslet and Workington might nick points off the top sides somewhere along the way but the above basically puts into context the importance of today.

| The Dewsbury v Oldham fixture is next Friday so the table will look pretty interesting by the time that is over.

| FT Oldham 22 Dons 28
Credit where credit is due, that was one hell of a fightback! 22-6 down early in the second half.

| 22-6 down, then the come back!
It'll be interesting to hear from those who went. The rain coming at half-time seemed to lead to more errors and we took advantage of that.

| Dons dropped the ball an awful lot, but took enough chances to make it count.
Still the only team to beat Oldham this year and we've done it three times

| Remarkable to come back from 22-6 down. Well done to the players you certainly have earned that after match beer and a weeks rest. Top stuff
Glad to have that huge slice of humble pie

| Yes we did make some mistakes . At 6-22 down I feared the worse but we showed a hell of a lot of character to fight back to win.

Me too and I gave credit where due at the final hooter ...
Wish I hadn't gone on FB though ... criticism of people who have previously said anything against the coach ... 'where are you now' etc ...
A battle was won today (as has happened in previous seasons) ... not the war, so to speak ...
I want the Dons to be promoted especially for the long-standing supporters but sometimes I read the stuff on FB and just think ffs!

| I visit FB for the scores and news don't comment at the usuals will just swarm over anything I post. Glad they won today and it does mean that the last game of the season for us could be who wins the league its in our hands now.
The proof will be in the pudding one swallow doesn't make a summer - outright promotion was the objective for the season, which suddenly became promotion via playoffs, failure to achieve either of these should lead to a good clear out at many levels across the club. Success will also require significant investment into the playing squad we have a solid core but the Championship is another level.

I keep away from Social Media - with the excepton of this site - as people generally seem to struggle to understand perspective. We're all Dons fans and want the team to win but it doesn't mean having a critical voice should be a hanging offence.
I thought we'd lose today. I was wrong. I wasn't meaning to be negative with my view. I was trying to judge the game objectively.
I'm delighted to have been wrong as the Dons winning matters more than me being right.
It's sad if people on FB are looking for revenge. We should all be a happy bunch of united fans tonight.
