The article says that the Dons will entertain Hulls youngsters

Lee Radford has been quoted as saying that both 20-man squads will have a mix of first teamers and Under 19's.

A drop goal in a friendly?!?

Jamie Bloem got a 2 year ban for less than that. Surely a disripute charge to follow.

Great effort from the boys after a bad start. Wilko, Waterman, Spiers looked good from the old guard. Some of the new boys looked handy too (but in but sure which ones they all were)

We turned a peno kick down to win it ... and with Waterperson in superb kicking form too.
If they are gonna go for drop goals then why didn't we show the same nous?
A bit pants really as in amateurish!

Still I really enjoyed it, but it's only when we play Hunslet that we know what's what.

I'd have been a bit embarassed if we'd gone for the two

Hull drop goals are a collectors item. It was probably more valuable for us to practice those than it was to put the ball through hands.
