The Belles, who drew 1-1 with Chelsea in a Continental Cup group game on Sunday, drop to a 10-team second tier.The Belles had good spells of pressure throughout against a strong Chelsea team at the Keepmoat Stadium.It's the most farcical thing I've ever heard," said Buckley.They went ahead when striker Jessica Sigsworth forced home a loose ball after her first effort had been blocked.I just don't understand the timing. It's demotivating for the players.Sigsworth then went close to doubling the lead when she hit the crossbar from an angle.Chairman Alan Smart wrote in his programme notes for the Chelsea game: "The Belles have been relegated after only 90 minutes of football [Doncaster played Chelsea in the league last week].Sigsworth and midfielder Millie Bright were both denied by goalkeeper Shannon Lynn as Donny looked for a winner after the break but the game finished 1-1.Buckley added: "Not many things knock the stuffing out of me, but this has. I've got to make sure that feeling doesn't get to the players and it didn't [on Sunday], because they put in a good performance.
