Our old boys entertained wonderfully at Rotherham today - Lloyd Hayes converted a last ditch winner 48-46. Might go there more often!

I must admit that when I moved to Yorkshire, halfway between Rotherham and Doncaster, I looked at both Donny and Rotherham with regard to whom I wanted to support. I opted for Donny as I believed it to be a better set-up and a team that had a greater potential. I am very happy that this is the right decision and will continue buying season tickets while I am still in this country. However, I do have friends that attend Rotherham and they really enjoy the atmosphere, team interactions with the fans and the flow of information out of the club.

I am sure that we would be sad to lose you to you Rotherham but my allegiance is solidly behind Doncaster and I will not be wavered. After all, a healthy relationship is built on unwavering trust.

The report on the Knight's website is a good accurate reflection of the game. Errors made the difference. Missed tackles and knock-ons were more than in the Newcastle game. Cannot take anything away from Coventry, they made less errors and took their chances. Ryan Burrows was a game changer today and deserved his MOM award.
Like Donnyknigtsfan I feel deflated after all the pre-season build up, but it won't diminish my support for the lads. Wish I was there next week but something else got on the calendar first .........

Two heads are better than one!!

You’ve probably summed up my thoughts exactly. That result today has completely deflated me. I really fancied us to win that one and on paper we should have. I’m a bit gutted actually. Just feels like a complete kick in the guts. We need a massive backlash against Scottish next week. I hope Bodes gives them a rocket this week in training. Sounds like we really slipped away from the standards that we set last season. It can only improve.

What did you guys think from watching the game?

I wasn’t actually at the game yesterday. My opinion is based on reading the tweets from Donny. What is a bit concerning is how we seemed to fall away in the last 20 minutes of the game. Finishing strongly was one of our strengths last season. It seemed like our pack struggled at times as well.

It was an interesting game, after going 10 points ahead there wasn't much in the contest until Cov got a couple of tries in a few minutes second half. Always a different side on the front Foot, Cov closed the game out well which coincided with Donny getting on the wrong side of the ref at the breakdown. Ma'm seemed to go with the side on the front foot throughout and when the tide turned it was a tough afternoon. Cannot fault the effort of the guys and next week is a perfect opportunity to get the season on track. My first season supporting the club, we have to remember this is a new team in many ways in key positions.

I felt our front row was not as dominant/ strong as seen previous. Too many errors throughout - credit where credit is due, Cov we’re solid across the board and deserved their win.

Scottish may feel the backlash next week all being well

Correct Sean - there were 3 hooded Knights and one unhooded - Sir Spicious of Oil, Sir Cumference de Mundy, Sir Wild Bill of Barnby Dun and Sir Noale'til Noon respectively.

thomasmachin: It would appear that if we are to replace the departing players we had better be quick or all the available players will be signed by Ealing ,Coventry and Cornish Pirates! Apr 20, 2018 8:14:16 GMT

donnyknightsfan: that was absolutely dire today almost from start to finish apart from a spell in the 2nd half when we looked OK. players don't look motivated enough to me. they need a kick up the backside. the next two games v Bedford and Irish look a tough ask now. Oct 6, 2018 21:04:32 GMT

rodders: A bit random this one but are any Knights fans travelling to the Jersey game on Friday 1st March flying from East Midlands on the 10.55 flight out. 2 of us are looking for a lift to East Midlands airport unexpectedly. Happy to share costs of travel Feb 17, 2019 19:52:21 GMT
