The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Jake Newman is watching and saying that Sileby are very average going forward and beatable at the back.

3-1 ON Chenecks!! Only the 2nd team to beat Bugbrooke this season if they hold out.

From all the team ive seen this season, the defence is the big weakness. Havn't seen a team so far thats had a decent defence. and that includes Oadby and Us.

This is better than Gillette Soccer Saturday. Who needs Jeff Stelling when we have rushdenjim.

Seems to be the case with most teams at this level, which would explain the much higher number of big scorelines down here, when pro teams collapse they may lose 4 or 5-0, but when teams collapse down here, it can be at least 8 or 9 as we know!

Finished 3-2 Sileby. :(

Damn it, they still haven't dropped a point since mid October, though at least the fact Whitworths, a mid table side managed to come close to getting something off them shows its not impossible for them to drop points.

I think i would prefer this way round than visa versa. Sileby are going to be hard to stop whereas a bugbrooke defeat keeps them off our heals for a couple of week.

Oadby were crap at the back too, but we didn't take out chances in the first half. Sileby are crap at the back, we are crap at the back. I sense a theme coming!

It's all about taking our chances, which we haven't been doing in recent games.
