The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

It's certainly going to be difficult to pick the team, but here's what I'd go for;-

.......................Day

Miller........Osano........Corcoran........Day

Charles......Porter.......Power.......O'Connor

..............Smith........Farrell

Yup, it's experimental and a 4-4-2 BUT I believe Max Porter is the key to the middle of the park, if we win that battle we can win the game. For me I'd ditch the holding midfielder role as too negative, and Porter playing wide is just wrong.

Can't really argue against that.

Smith and porter are a doubt with injuries although porter played with it on saturday. We need huke back

O'Connor played with an injury yesterday too, I wouldn't be expecting him to play on Tuesday.

Forecast for Heanor (very near to Eastwood) on the BBC website looks good for today and tomorrow during the day, although there is heavy rain forecast tonight. Temperature wise we should be fine so no danger of a frozen pitch.

The possibility of being in the 3rd Round by Saturday tea time is actually exciting me a bit. I think we've been unlucky during the last 2 games and it won't take much to click. I predict a 2-0 victory.

Good to read that Smith, O'Connor and Porter are all available after all
