The remedy is in his hands and his hands only. I posted last season my thoughts on the matter and I will leave it at that.

What about 'Rich will have the boys working hard in training this week' or 'Ahhh look no excuses the boys weren't good enough we lost the game in the first half but we showed up better in the 2nd', I've been slated from day one for seeing how useless our ceo is and how a tin pot club Doncaster are so if any clapping seals come on and try to defend our situation the you simply don't want us to progress! Carl if you do love the club like you say you do you would do the admirable thing and go!

I wish there was a remedy.
I suppose Carl is in a difficult position. He has to play it very diplomatically and not upset folk.
He ain't daft and he must know that this is an underfunded and severely challenged squad.
OK compared with the Raiders we are looking good as a club ... but that's the limit of it.

I will reiterate the club should stop the rhetoric ... what is pumped out by the club in press releases etc is cloud cuckooland stuff.
Get real ... tell it like it is and rectify it.
If possible!

So although you imply he should resign ... he ain't coaching and playing and ought to expect not to be let down as much by his staff.

We’re still far too lightweight up front and sounds like once again we were bullied. Over a month later and we still haven’t replaced our star halfback. We looked good earlier in the season when we had maloudi but the team lack any spark or creativity and get out muscled by any half decent team in the league.... our season is pretty much over. Not good enough simple as that.

Don't worry, there's always the five-year plan.........

Sorry sanjunien but all negative posts will be subject to scorn and all visas of posters will be revoked lol

Does that mean I won't be allowed to watch another home game when next in the UK ?
PHEW, wot a relief !!!

Humour is also banned and any one found guilty will be subject to watching in the dugout continuessly lol

I don't suppose there are too many laughs around the Keepmoat nowadays ?

I hear Kane Bentley is looking for a club, Donny could do a lot worse....

I think he would be a good asset to the club but we are in denial about needing quality players even though the management say we have hundreds of billions to spend on the right players

No ... but the coach says we are good to go.
And he should know.

Here’s my take on everything...

The challenge of winning the league and getting in front of Bradford was always going to be a difficult one. They deservedly beat us at home and looked better than York.

Our realistic aim was always to get into the top five to make the play-offs. We’re then two games away from promotion. I don’t particularly like this system as the second placed team is the one that probably deserves to go up, but like it or not, they’re the rules. It doesn’t matter how well you might play during the regular season, second place doesn’t win promotion.
In effect, the regular season is a joust for places with the real business starting when the play-offs arrive. Our aim is to get there.

We were made to look better than we are by the way the early season fixtures fell.

We’ve under-performed in a number of games with the loss at Workington looking particularly bad. Not making excuses but this game needs to be put into perspective. We were without Richard Owen, Ross Osborne, and Charlie Martin. In my view, they are three key players we need in the side.

Looking at the longer-term picture for the play-offs, the best side we could put out would also include Liam Harris, Hakim Miloudi, and Frankie Mariano. In effect, the Workington side was at least six players short of the best team we could put out in a ‘play off’ game.

No team is ever at its best in every game. Wigan had a ‘crisis’ after losing three games running; they came back to beat Hull at the weekend. Wakefield went on a losing run of five or six games but bounced back to beat Wigan and Warrington recently. Huddersfield are getting their act their act together after a bad start. The same applies to Catalans. If there is a common theme to under-performing, it is generally influenced by not having your best starting team playing.

Each defeat exposes weaknesses and limitations. All teams have them. Each defeat knocks the players’ confidence. Without confidence, a performance can drop off by up to 30% to 40%. That’s huge. I believe the one positive thing the fans can do is to get behind the players and help them, as we did in the home match against Keighley. I thought the fans were great in that game.

Performances have clearly slipped since our peak. We probably peaked when we ‘nilled’ Newcastle at home in the cup. We’ve obviously got work to do to make the top five and the play-offs. I’m sure the coaching staff can see what needs to be done to put things right even if they won’t (or can’t) admit it in public. People like Peter Green and Rhys Lovegrove have been round the rugby league block a few times. I’m sure Richard Horne can turn to Lee Radford for advice if he feels he needs it too.

Sure, we’re not in the position in the league that we’d like to be in but the business part of the season is just about getting going. We’ve got to make the top five, providing we do that and get our best team out, playing with confidence at the end of the season, we’re by no means out of the race.
