Got a feeling this week's in the dugout is going to be tasty!

Not convinced that there will be one.

The writing was on the wall for this season from before we played Leeds in the cup. There were some brief hopes of a revival but one step forward was soon greeted with one step back. Any chances of promotion were based on hope rather than expectation.

The biggest mistake for me was not getting the half-backs right from the outset. Whatever level you play at, the half-backs are key. Sorting this would certainly be one of my priorities in 2018.

This may sound harsh but it's been a while since we had a quality half back. None of the players currently available rate that accolade.

I still pinch myself thinking of the gale/briggs combo we had!

I don't think it's any coincidence that our most successful season was when Paul Cooke was playing and guiding us around the field.

We can often look back at the past with rose-tinted glasses but those two were a truly class act. It's been great to see Luke go on to achieve the success he has. Kyle Briggs never quite developed in the same way but they were awesome for us.

Nothing on the Dons web site yet.Guess they must STILL be travelling home.

Or maybe carl is still fuming with the lack of fans we brought over to Toronto?

They only got back late yesterday.

Thanks for the update, Baz.

Some posters on here seem to get upset if we don't have match reports on the website immediately after we've lost. They've also been finding it hard to manage because we didn't have an In The Dugout last Thursday after the Newcastle defeat.

Do you know when the next Dugout will be? Maybe with the travelling, it'll be difficult to get one together for this Thursday?

Thanks.

Hopefully in the dug out will be at the end of this week, maybe Friday.
