Did think looking at the fixtures that we would have a 4 game losing run at least, i hope it can be turned around but we arn’t at the races with the quality and style of play but what do i know as a doom and gloom merchant

There was a very evident lack of togetherness and team spirit today.

We continue to be lacking in attacking structure and creativity.

Defensively we are far too brittle to be promotion contenders.

That is not doom n gloom, just a realistic view of where, sadly we are right now.

I think we will soon be at the point where quality will want to be away ...
Just a feeling ...

You can't have notable passengers in a side and expect the quality lads to graft their balls off to make up the shortfall.

The seeds were there from the off!

Does anyone have any idea what the 'five year plan' currently is ?

Maybe the plan is to rely on an iffy DR agreement ? Maybe there is no Plan B ?

There wasnt a plan A nevermind a plan B, we had a great coach and player in Paul Cooke who had gotten together a team and i think he was led down the garden path regards investment budget and a 5 year plan, shouldnt we be knocking on the door of superleague by now if it existed

453 people watched this game between sides in third and fourth position.
Jeez!

In fairness, the quality of rugby served up by one of teams isn't going to attract many more.

On current form, I expect us to finish 6th or 7th.

We were very poor both in attack and defence.
No attacking structure or organisation from the half backs and no aggression from the forwards.

Time to face facts ,we are a mid-table side who were dominated by a physical Oldham pack ,that showed more desire to carry the ball and muscle up in defence.

Oldham played basic down the middle rugby which the Dons failed to match .

With Keighley , Workington and Bradford on the horizon, and after the performance served up yesterday, I envisage our rapid descent down the Championship 1 table to another season of mid table mediocrity.

Drastic times call for drastic measures and Club Doncaster need to conduct a full review of how another season of hope has turned in to another year of hopeless.
If the Dons are ever going to see the Championship never mind Super league then changes are needed.

How many more false promises can be served up by CH, only for the rug to be pulled out from under us mid season with p1ss poor displays from a so called promotion challenging squad of players.

The only thing I can see us challenging for is to see if we can finish just ahead of Coventry or Hemel.

One thing not mentioned, or maybe more accurately not commented on, was Owen getting sinbinned for dissent.

That has no place in a team, it happened at a pivotal time, and he has history of moaning at the ref.

Another thing not sorted then!

I did comment on it saying he was becoming a liability.
no place for sinbinning for dissent more so from experienced players.

Sorry if I did not read it ... but you are absolutely right.

Opposition players are gonna wind you up verbally and physically abuse you in the hope you will crack.

Team players should curb their temper and not fall into the trap.
Easier said than done granted
