Sorry but we can't have Quincy in goal again next year. That 1st goal v Sileby and now this v Oadby. He's a liability, plain and simple.

FFS now 2-2, I hate football. It's the hope that kills you. :(

All things considered 2-2 is a great result with 10 men, Its out of our hands now, with Sileby beating Harrowby they look certain for promotion (they were 2 up). Such a shame we couldn't keep 11 men on the pitch, we sounded equal to Oadby with 10 men!

2-2, red card and Quincey's mistake cost us, great performance and result considering we were a man down for 80 minutes, but not enough I fear.

On another day it could of been 4-0 Diamonds, i think we played really well, Oadby played well to contain us for much of the game but the Quincy mistake is shocking, it really can't be any worse than it was. I fear for us every time hes under any sort of pressure so i can't imagine what hes defence are feeling. It makes it all the more painful in a league where one or two mistakes like that is the difference between going up and not. The Lads put in 110% today but it might just not be enough

Great Crowd as well

I agree regarding Quincy, however IMO he is the best keeper we have. He makes one glaring mistake every game, sometimes we get away with it but against the top teams we don't. A good reserve keeper for next season but not consistent enough to be first choice. Fantastic crowd today and the debanke sounded in good voice on radio diamonds.

Excellent point considering we were down to 10 men for so long. Looked a definate red, only thing i'd argue is that did the foul start outside the box? Hat's of to the rest of the side who not only got back in once but twice. Best goal of the season so far from King, a stunning strike! Like already said on here, not sure if a point will be enough, we may have to rely on results elsewhere going our way even if we win all our games. Some trouble after the game near the players entrance in where an Oadby official seemed to have thrown a few punches towards someone!?

Fantastic performance, we were the better team throughout which considering we had 10 men is some effort. King's goal was one of the best Diamonds goals i've ever seen.

HOWEVER, that's our season over now as far as i can see and in terms of expectations if we're all honest with each other I think we have to be disappointed about that. A freak season granted given that there's 4 exceptional teams but we should have had enough about us to go up, given our resources.

Time to plan for next season now. I don't think an awful lot needs doing to the team but the situation with the goalkeeper needs addressing.That today really was "my Granny could have saved that" stuff. As TTT pointed out in another thread we need a horrible bastard up front too.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

:shock:

I saw some scuffling at the entrance but couldn't clearly see anything unfortunately, but shocking if true. But in regards to the table, Sileby are 6 points ahead if they win their game in hand and Oadby are 4 points ahead if they win their games in hand, so only a minor miracle will be enough now, Oadby have to play Eynesbury and Bugbrooke, but other than that, not sure where they'll drop points, but I thought they were pretty poor today considering they had a man advantage for 80 minutes.

Oadby were no better than Wootton/Olney/BPW or any other Sunday league team. One penalty and a free kick cross that was dropped by Quincy were their only threats.
