Conceding in the last few minutes is very frustrating, conceding twice in the last few minutes to lose the game is worrying, to do that twice in 5 games is unacceptable.

Re: [ Sat 12th Oct ] v Quorn, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY
I only listened into the game via the rather excellent Radio Diamonds (fantastic work all on your own Joseph!!!), so can’t really comment on the overall performance!
If you’d told me we would be 11th at this stage of the season before we’d kicked a ball in anger I’d have taken it - but the season is turning into a bit of a “what if” tale isn’t it? These late goals are killing us! Is it tactics? Is it a lack of fitness and we’re running out of steam? Is it just that the other sides are better than we are at the key end of the game? Maybe a mixture of all three? I don’t know!
Overall I’m happy with where we are - just frustrated that we’re not higher up the table because performances for 75% of the games seem to have been on the money, it’s just that final quarter missing to see us over the line - that’s the marking of a good side, dealing with the pressure in the final moments when teams are throwing everything at you! We don’t seem to have that mettle at the moment! From 10 minutes to go yesterday there seemed an air of inevitability that we would concede, sadly we did so twice, again!
But happy with 11th, tad worried that we’re only 4 points off the relegation area and really don’t want to see us get pulled down into the bottom third after the last 2 years we’ve had which could happen really quickly if we’re not careful.

Charlie was unavailable on Saturday but Michael confirmed to me yesterday that he will be back in the squad for the Sporting K game on Saturday.

Michaels comment about Levon Stewart in his interview was a little odd and not elaborated on… are we to assume he has left and he wasn’t signed up to Diamonds’s properly ??
