Yes I agree, Donaldson is arguably the best striker in the Conference as he has a good all round game and can torment tired defences with his pace and power. However some players can't 'cut it' in the league - for example Daryl Clare - great goalscorer but lacks pace.
Disappointing result for Bedford losing 2-0 at home to More Green in the FA Cup
No Middlesbrough heroics for Nuneaton this season... lost 1-0 at home to Hucknall in the FA Cup.
The FA cup has provided us with a draw at home to Halifax which is annoying really because we play there in the league on saturday, and if the cup game goes to a replay then we'll be playing them three times in a row!
The 4th Qualifying round draw in full:

Quorn FC / Brackley Town FC v Havant & Waterlooville FC
In my opinion, it always looks like the draw has been fixed as many of the lower ranked clubs are against conference clubs. Purely coincidence I guess.

Dreadful day for Bedford Town getting slammed 5-0 down at Welling.
Found this on BBC
Conference chiefs are determined to ensure that the end of this season will not be dogged by the kind of controversy that has hit the league in recent years.
For the first time, four clubs will be relegated from the Conference National - with two coming up from each of the North and South feeder divisions.
And officials will be doing everything possible to make sure that the fate of clubs is determined through their playing records and not off-field problems.
Conference chief operations officer John Moules told BBC Sport: "It's paramount. The target this year is that all promotion and relegation matters will be decided on the field of play and not in the boardroom."
Last season, the Conference campaign finished in a state of confusion with Altrincham being deducted 18 points but surviving when Scarborough were relegated for financial reasons.
Canvey Island's resignation from the league meant that no other side went down as the Conference expanded to 24 teams.
Looking at the way things are panning out, it is expected to be four down and four up

Twelve months previously, Northwich Victoria finished outside the bottom three but were relegated over ground and ownership issues.
Northwich are again coming under scrutiny from the Conference, with an investigation into the club's finances by BBC Five Live Sport being passed onto the FA's compliance unit.
The Vics will be one of a number of clubs whose positions will be discussed by the Conference management committee at its monthly meeting on Thursday.
However, expulsion from the league is not on the agenda, with failure to produce accounts on time liable for punishment by a fine.
Crawley Town are also being monitored as they owe money to creditors but they still have more than a week to meet the terms of a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA).
Clubs are constantly being advised on how to abide by Conference rules and with ground standards improving at Conference North and South level, Moules is optimistic that promotion and relegation will run smoothly.
He added: "This year we are fairly safely saying that looking at the way things are panning out, it is expected to be four down and four up."
The Conference is striving to get its house in order to further their argument with the Football League for three-up and three-down after gaining a second promotion place in 2003.
The League has rejected that proposal for next season, but dialogue will continue.
