I too feel sorry for Jack Sanderson. With more experience I'm sure he'd have done things differently for the two try efforts. He's looked really solid under the kick-offs in recent games too. Pity he spilled that one. I hope it doesn't knock his confidence and that he comes back better and stronger. I was disappointed to hear some people behind me saying he should never come to Doncaster again.

York won the wrestle and that was a worry. Credit to York though, they're a decent side. Don't forget they knocked Championship side Swinton out of the cup recently.

It's disappointing to have lost. I think Boyle, Miloudi, and Jordon Howden would have improved us and could have made the difference. Looking forward to the next game already though.

Think the not come back to us was more in reference to his behaviour towards the york Fans than it was his errors. Why would you goad opposition fans when you’re behind?

We gave York that win today ... courtesy of dumb penalties and the inability to catch a bomb.

York must be laughing their socks off ... they came to stop us playing any rugby ... but were probably pleasantly surprised that we helped them in their plan.

There is the template for other teams when playing Donny ... "go rough em up they can't handle it."

The ref was weak too ... he had capped the sin-bin quota in his brain and barring the outbreak of war, no more York players were going there ... despite the touch judge running on twice more waving his flag.
Disgusting!

Thuggery pays then?

How LIGHTWEIGHT did we look going forward?
We got beat up and it sounds like we got beat up at Newcastle too.

A team of midgets ain't gonna win this division!

York were down to the bare bones, no dr players and only 4 fit backs, of course we were going to keep it tight, if you only have game plan A thats your problem, as for Harris what a waste of money.

Wow you must have a problem with Harris, whats the matter, he got you round the park last year and you thought he was yours to keep. Divorce, can't it be messy. Some spice in the fixture now, on and off the field.

Congratulations for beating us with your injury ravaged outfit.

Harris did nothing after the Toronto win, said at the end of the season I hope if we sign him he's free, wouldnt want to pay for him, we will see how good he is come the end of season, by the way a few Donny supporters were saying hes not as good as he thinks he is.

We will see there is a long season ahead, in his defence for yesterday he was operating behind a beaten pack. Your front men were excellent, did a job and we could not match it. All the other crap about a player baiting York fans is a side show. You won this round and its good to have one over on one of your potential promotion rivals.

Have a good Easter fellow.

Harris kept passing short little passes to players coming onto the ball and getting smashed and he never altered that or learned from it in the first half.
I lost intetest when we gave three penalties in the second half that presented York with the chance to get 8 points and effectively show who were the bosses.
Those first two penalties had York going from their own twenty and in some bother to being camped on our line.
Some numpty stripped the ball in the first one for no good reason.
That sequence of play cost us the game ... that and some great defence by York.
Both sides were rubbish in attack and only got territory by kicking the ball and hoping for blunders.
A tight game which some fans will have found fascinating... especially York fans.

I thought that there were some fit guys out there and the effort was admirable ... but the game was a bore and there was ittle skill on show.

I thought we and Horne had changed all that .... he doesn't seem to know what a decent forward looks like.

Is Muranka hollow?
He sure looks like a proper forward taking the ball in but? ....

I think we have found our level against the better sides now.

This injury and absenteeism is annoying too.
We gather York had players out but our list of absentees added to by Charlie Martin's absence really ed me off!

Horne not earning his corn.

Why are our injuries such a subject of mystery?

Why are we led to believe players will turn out and don't and what's with Miloudi?

one defeat and suddenly the sky has fallen in.listern to yourselves,get a grip.we had a bad game end of.

Miloudi is in the Hull squad for Monday

Fame at last

I hardly took you to task: I wrote "Also someone saying York have put all their eggs in this seasons promotion basket....not sure I understand that one, I've not seen anything to suggest its championship or bust for York this season"

I'm genuinely interested in what you mean by the easter eggs in one basket bit.

If you mean York are concentrating all their efforts on gaining promotion, well firstly its not true as they'd have simply put out a fringe side in the cup against Championship Swinton to avoid any distractions rather than putting out their best players in the snow on a cabbage patch pitch which had seen another game just 24 hrs earlier (but thanks anyway Fev for allowing the game to be played!).

Regardless, all but a handful of teams (West Wales, Hemel and London) will no doubt be aiming for promotion.

Anyway, as I have also said on TotalRL its a good setup at the Keepmoat and the club deserve more interest from the Donny public. I like Liam Harris, he has the potential to be a good championship level player but his consistency needs a lot of work, I thought that when he played Toronto off the park then the following week at Keighlry played like he was on a picnic in the park. See you at Bootham later in the season, here's hoping its another great atmosphere, and keep the faith. Its only 2 years since I saw York struggling to beat Coventry in frot of 400 odd. Its all about building for the right moment.
