I usually look forward to and enjoy our matches against Lids but I'm not expecting this Sunday to be a pleasant experience and quite frankly anything less than a drubbing will surprise me. The dross we've been subjected to recently is unacceptable and the dramatic decline in the teams performance shows no sign of improving. At the moment it looks like we're a rudderless ship sinking fast and nobody has a clue how to fix it. As a result the players confidence is rock bottom and from the stands it looks as though they're resigned to that fact and if nobody else is apparently bothered then why should they be






I go to the match on Sunday desperately hoping that

a) Anderson stands up and shows who's captain of the "good ship Fartown". He coaches,selects and inspires a side capable of turning up, putting in the effort and turning our form around. A team that is capable of performing not only as individuals but as a "team" and one that can get back to winning ways and playing like we did during the early season ?
b) The players selected turn up, pull on the shirt, get out on the field, stand up and be counted, do themselves justice and restore some of the pride back into the team, which has been sadly lacking in some of our recent performances.
c) We can actually stop dropping the ball, giving silly penalties away and start tackling again instead of some of the "touch rugby" defence we've seen recently
d) We can be competitive in a game for the full 80 mins

Time for action on the field now, not "throw away" articles in the Examiner

I will attend in hope that even if we lose our performance shows a marked improvement, and a little bit of pride is restored in the famous "claret and gold" shirt

Roll on next season

Broughy. LOD, Fooey and Jerry ? back. That is quality AND players who really make an effort!

If we can have a really competitive effort + no injuries then we can go to Hull with at least a chance of progressing.

Agreed.

cant believe it i agree with you cripes, nice to see some positivity on these boards for once.

erm............not sure really, cant decide if i am or not - i dont think i am but come friday night i probably will as i look forward to my rugby greatly, if not the idea of a massive hammering then the social side of it !

worth going just to see ed clancy and his gold medals, lets hope he inspires our players to perform.

I'm looking forward to Sunday - I've ripped my last season ticket up and I'm going out for a meal with my family instead. It'll probably cost me the price of next seasons season ticket but WTF, I deserve a good time on a Sunday after all the crap I've had to endure over the last 3 months.

I'll be back at the KC for the play offs next week filled with new optimism.

Cant say i am to be honest as SG says though a decent perfomance regardless or result might,just might give us a bit of confidence to take to hull,and may entice some of the stayways to go over. Although i fear another horror show and yet again we show how not to play basic rugby league.

i am looking forward to sunday but only cos its rugby! dont think we will win, partner asked abt following week at Hull and i said no way, She is Hudds girl i am Doncaster, she can do what she wants but i will be at the Doncaster Barrow play off game to watch some passion.

I thought donny were already up as champions? Why the play off game then?

Top 4 are up, the other 2 teams in the play offs are basically just trying to get the 20k the winners get.
