Whitehaven are doing what we can't currently, in that they are winning home matches against the bottom half teams. Today's victory over Batley, follows a win over Hunslet in their last home fixture.
I may be accused of clutching at straws here, but the next three fixtures, two of which are at home are the sort of games we need to be thinking at least offer some chance of victory.

Well IMO straw clutching is not a bad thing (especially if you work for Northern Bale) You must be reading my mind (short read-granted) I was just about to post that it we can get six points from the next three games it may just give us a slight chance of beating the odds.
The games after those three are two damage limitation jobs and then the fun and games of the play offs ( or in our case the drop offs)

Drop offs! I like it!
We've been thinking that the recent games against Workington and Hunslet were the last chance saloon but there is still a glimmer of hope if we can beat Whitehaven, Batley and Hunslet at home. When we enter the drop offs we'll be playing the teams around us again too.
The chances are that Batley and Workington are going to win at least two more games each before the final curtain comes down, maybe (but hopefully not) against us. That would mean we'd have to better 13 points to stay up. Seven wins required from the 12 remaining games seems like a minimum requirement. Three wins from the next five and four wins from the seven final games.
Can we do it? In all probability, the chances of it happening are slim and 100/1 is probably still under the odds but whilst ever it's mathematically possible for us to stay up, we've got to keep giving it our best shot.

| There is certainly enough points left, but I think the teams confidence is shot to pieces. I would love to think we could stay up, but even accounting for being an optimistic numpty, I have to say I can't really see it happening. I think we will at least win a couple, but as I said on the facebook page, I think we probably need a few snookers now. To win as many as we need to win in the remainder of the season we would need to show top four form, sadly I think that is unrealistic.

| O/T
Sammut goes from Wakey to Workington.
Don't know where the guy lived, probably with a Wakey teammate.
But Donny is next door.
Mind you, we don't need any more little guys.

| Sammut is a top player and no doubt he would of been fairly local to us but the very fact we dont enquire about a match winner like him shows club doncaster are resigned to trips to hemel and south wales next season

| shows their intentions exactly, if workington can fund him i'm sure club doncaster could, they have money coming in from 2 directions[no puns about the group
It also proves their intentions from the seasons start. NIL.
As said he is a match winner and now we have to face him which makes it even worse.

| He can be a match winner, but he can also go missing for long periods, not saying I wouldn't like to see him in a Dons shirt, in different circumstances, but he's a luxury player. Not particularly a player to roll up his sleeves and fight. Again this is just how I see him.
