What a fantastic response that was on the back of our recent poor form. Fair play to each and every one of those Diamonds players, they did us proud today. Such a big improvement. How great it feels to pull off a shock against one of the promotion chasing, top five sides.
It almost felt surreal ...

Re: [ Sat 1st Feb ] v Coventry Sphinx, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
What a fantastic late comeback win that was, so pleased for all involved. After the barren run we’ve been on it shouldn’t be underestimated the amount of character the lads showed there; we certainly owed Coventry Sphinx that one as well.

Re: [ Sat 12th Oct ] v Quorn, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
Absolute heartbreak to concede those two goals right at the end, but the lads should be so very proud of that performance. So close to a magnificent result. We were the better team in the first half and controlled the game in the main, never letting Quorn settle at all. We made them look very ...

Re: [ Mon 1st Apr ] v Harborough Town, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
Once again we pulled off a shock on April 1st! Unbelievable performance from start to finish, at some points it looked like we were going for the title instead of Harborough. We stifled them brilliantly early on, looked the more threatening and deserved to get ourselves ahead. We were under the cosh ...

Re: [ Sat 20th Jan ] v Rugby Town, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
I think it’s safe to say we’ve waited a long time for an away win and a clean sheet! We showed from early on that we were the better side and fully deserved the lead. Getting the first goal for once just makes the world of difference and you could tell that Rugby were starting to panic. Nice to see ...

Re: [ Sat 6th Jan ] v Gresley Rovers, KO 3pm NPLD1M HOME
Undoubtedly one of the most disappointing defeats in the club’s history there is no dressing it up. It was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. I haven’t been as angry with our approach and team selection for a very long time. In one of the most crucial matches ever for AFC R&D against a ...

Re: [ Sat 11th Nov ] v Anstey Nomads, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
As a die-hard fan who goes to every single home game and the vast majority of away matches, believe you me I am as concerned as any supporter is regarding our current predicament. The point I was trying to make was that we were a simple close range finish away on Saturday from getting a result ...

Re: [ Sat 11th Nov ] v Anstey Nomads, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
In spite of the result that was a commendable effort against a team chasing promotion. After keeping them at bay for the first half an hour or so and having some promising attacks of our own, it was a bit disappointing to concede from Kanga’s unchallenged shot. When we let in another goal early in ...
