My feeling in these early games is that the teams we are playing simply have better players than us at the moment, bar the Bromsgrove game maybe. We simply can't afford the quality of player our opponents so far have and that means we're under pressure when these sides play well.

Certainly the ...

I'd expect Tom Lorraine to lead the line in what will be a physical contest. He gives a good focal point and presence in the box and runs the channels really well when we need to break out. Will Jones is an ideal impact sub at this stage but with 30 minutes maybe against tiring defenders.

I think we have to look at where the club is at, the move to the new ground has got to take a priority from this season.


I think the rank and file fan will struggle to accept that when on the face of it we don't appear to be much/any further forward than we were when it was announced in 2018 ...

3 at every game? Yup, the same 3 tho! Re the academy lads, Surely the club would benefit more in the long run by loaning them to Rushden & Higham to gain much needed experience of the men's game.

Joseph is leading and ill be chipping in while I do your twitter updates.

Any questions or observations on the game, the squad, the seadon just let us know

I've asked them on twitter why they changed an agreed date but no reply. Bit cheeky really.

I'd think we'd like a fixture of some description next week but that's unlikely to be Stamford. We will have played 3 games in 5 days so maybe a weeks training might be preferred...

As well as football being back - and possibly coming home - Radio Diamonds is back!!

We are planning on covering the Harry Robinson Trophy for Diamonds fans starting with tonight's game at Kempston Rovers. I know we don't usually cover pre-season games but we've been starved of live football and ...

First post in ages but seems the right time. Wasn't there yesterday and very disappointed like everyone,. I genuinely fancied a bounce back yesterday....even tipped 4 2 so my footy tipping still as sound as ever.

Have to say though bit disappointed with some of the posts and not just last night's ...
