If we were Halifax fans, we'd be down in the dumps big time at the moment. After their recent run of results, we wouldn't be expecting a bounce back. As Dons fans, we think a bounce back will happen... this is supporter logic.
If Halifax don't improve and we take their results at face value, we should be strong favourites. They lost by 22 against York last weekend, we're better than York. They lost by 46 against Sheffield, we're not far short of Sheffield. Unless the new players that come in make a considerable difference to Halifax, there is no reason to believe a 10+ Dons win shouldn't be expected.
I think the actual bookies prices are wrong and the Dons have a much better chance than that. With poor weather conditions, the scores might be closer than they would be on a sunny day but if the Dons don't win today, I'll be very disappointed.
