Second that. And guess who will be on the receiving end of the backlash on Thursday. Oh well I suppose such as the odd layers can have a field day whilst watching it on TV.

I commented on hearing the Fax result that it was an appalling result on both levels. Not only did Sheffield get 3 points but who will pay for that ... probably us.

Surely a side who is 4th, with 2 games in hand and one point behind a poor side in 3rd would say otherwise?

You know what I mean....they are not world beaters....I know a really good side when I see it.

Doncaster matched Fev for the first 40 mins and i think most fans were happy, dont ask what the team talk was at half time for the team to come out and play as abysmal as they did in the second half.

The wingers need to learn to tackle and the sliding defence needs to slide, i think virtually every try was score against us was scored down the wings.

Our left side defence was poor. The first three tries in the first half were scored there and the fourth one started on that side with a missed tackle following an attacking kick by us. Ian Bell had a field-day against the defence on that side after coming off the bench.

Admittedly, tries went in elsewhere in the second half (including Sean Hesketh going 45 metres for one ) but most of the damage was done on that left-hand defensive flank.

Sheffield are a decent side....they have good players.
I know we beat them....but they are streets better than us.

why don't we all bet on Halifax getting a cricket score against us and donate the winnings to the club?

and if we play like the second half today with no defence why don't we go all out on attack?

As everyone knows on here im one of the diehards of the fans but even I had to have Fev at -22 in my bet today.Of course when we were winning i was cheering and deep down I wanted us to get a result but common sense said the bet was on.

I had Fev Whitehaven and Dewsbury and its in!!

Agree with some of the others though I reckon there was about 50 or 60 of us today at Fev and thats not good.

I also heard on Radio Leeds about the lads playing for nothing.Daryl Powell also mentioned in his interview the players had took a wage cut.

Certainly no more than that.

A local derby, 15 miles away, about 20 to 25 minutes by road - things don't look good do they?

If you'd have played us today you would have won, I guarantee it. I urge all Donny fans to come out on Thursday, your team spirit is there for all to see which is what carried Sheffield today. If we carry on where we left off today you're going to humble us on national telly.
