The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Big game for both clubs on Saturday and lets hope for a great atmosphere. Would expect Oadby to bring about 80 or so. What do we think the score will be with both teams needing to win ? For a chance of league title ?

FINALLY...... due to work/family committments my FIRST game of the season that I will be able to get to see!! Can't wait!

What's the bet it's postponed due to frozen pitch!! :evil:

Let them think that. Hopefully they'll be a bit complacent, and if we're on top of our game, it isn't going to be 5-1 again is it? We're a much better team than the beginning of January. Just look at the two Sileby games (who they got beaten by once and drew with).

The Under 7's will be leading the players out and having a penalty shoot-out at half-time. So there's more fans there that wouldn't have been able to come to the Tuesday night games

Oh James. You want to be hoping that we`re "no trouble" on Saturday, or the De Banke will certainly let you know about it.!!!
As an aside, that footage makes you feel grateful that we have such a professional post match set up although we should put in a 7 day approach for the female interviewer. Just to "freshen up" the interviewing line-up you understand :lol: You would n`t have to drag our lot out of the dressing room for a post-match interview. :lol: :lol:

Leicester play the night before, so no excuses for them not turning up! Though I'd be surprised if there's more than 40 or so tbh. Wouldn't like to predict the score really, could go either way, fingers crossed it goes our way this time.

Meh, I dunno why but I'm not confident about this one. It's probably because I've seen most of our games and only one of their's, but it just seems that they're extremely clinical and lethal, whereas we've let quite a few average sides nearly take a point off us, rather than putting the game to bed. I'm going to predict a 2-0 defeat. Crowd of 900 assuming it's relatively mild on Saturday.

I think Lance deserves a start on Saturday, I've just seen his goal from Tuesday and it's another lovely finish. He seems to put in loads more effort than Alfie and is scoring more than Alfie, yet Alfie's getting the start every game? I don't understand why, when him and Jake clearly doesn't work.

But also remember Sileby took 4 points of them, I think the key to the match is to keep it tight if we go out all guns blazing it won't work.
