The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

As I told Kerry on Saturday, I missed the Whitworths game so that I could go to this one (not enough Brownie points racked up for FOUR games in 7 days) If we get lots down there, we`ll be the 12th man and TERRIFY Roade.

Having the 12th man is a massive advantage. As you know women's football matches rarely have a decent crowd. So Roade may buckle under pressure from our support, feel free to give the keeper loads of stick ;)

It's certainly worked during the men's senior team, where the keeper's have been nervous. I'm looking forward to when Eynesbury visit if they still have the same keeper when we played at their place! :twisted:

IIRC he was pretty decent and no idea how he managed to stop his Jo-90 specs from steaming up in that torrential downpour :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

One of Eynesbury's fans told me he was the St. Neots reserve team centre half last season.

If anyone follows any of the Ladies on Twitter then you will know that they are buzzing for this.

As Claire has said they will be slight underdogs but they will go into the game with a positive attitude.

If we can stop Roade scoring then we will win because I can't see any defence at this level being able to stop Cat, Kelly or April from finding the net.

The preview gives a good run down of the squad but it goes with out saying that the whole lot of them have done the club proud this season.

All being well, there will be a teamsheet available for this one as well.

Absolutely agree, the main issue is stopping them from scoring. They have fast players that could prove to be a problem. We may well be rusty having no game for 4 weeks so we really have to be up from it when the whistle goes.

I think the team sheet will only be for the diamonds squad. Roade won't inform us of shirt numbers/players unfortunately. Their loss ;)

Looking forward to this game, going to be no doubt the largest crowd any team at our level has played in front of.

Bump !! Get down there if you can, just having my dinner then will be on my way !!
