Just hope they don't go there thinking it doesn't matter if we lose...that way you do lose.

If we lose, we can't be at home in the final, so hopefully that in itself should be enough to motivate them...

that is presuming they're made aware of this situation.

According to the Dons website, the loser of tomorrow's game plays the winner of tomorrow's match between Rochdale v Hunslet! It doesn't fill you full of confidence the person writing this stuff knows what they're doing, does it?

Dons quote: "A win for either side would set up a qualifying semi-final tie at Swinton a week later, with the loser facing the winner of Rochdale v Hunslet at home."

What's going to happen tomorrow?

My guess is the bookies will be giving the Dons 4 points start. I'll take the Dons to win by 13.

North Wales -2 5/6
Doncaster +2 Evens
The Draw +2 16/1

I have backed Rochdale to cover the Handicap (10 points) against Oldham.

Sounds good. Rochdale couldn't fill the bench last week due to injuries. Have they got some injured players back today?

Watching Barrow v Fev ladies on Our League at the moment. Still no sign of the Dons being on.

They should cover the handicap...

I think the balance of power in our game changes if Tali doesn't play.

Tali does start as does Ben Howe.
