Well the simple fact is .....that Dons performance was head and shoulders above what we have been served up in recent weeks.
Some people on here have either not been to recent games or have got short memories ....or overblown expectations.
We competed for the first time in a long time.....against a Haven side that made Barrow look p/ss poor only the other week precipitating the demotion of their coach.
Yes in real terms it was a scrappy, messy game and both sides were poor at ball retention. The ref was an absolute harsh prick for both sides.
It was a game we didn't make the most of though.......of all the sides we were liable to beat in the run-in....Haven were the one.
Shame......but we have improved markedly.
Having said that......it was a poor standard for NL1 by all concerned..... skill-wise.

Nice gesture from the haven players to applaud the dons 'crowd' at the end
and think ref now ready for super league.
Big game for the dons though and the defence once the team settled was tremendous.

Yes, I noticed that too. As you say it was indeed a nice gesture (especially as they probably realised they were in for a bit of a telling off for the performance).
