The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Thank goodness this is our last Tuesday evening game - it's a nightmare for me to get to evening games - looking like I'll miss this one :(

1 - 0 to Diamonds. Alfie with his 50th goal for Diamonds. 35th minute

Well that was utter shite!!! Gearing was the only that looked like making anything happen.

Feel sorry for those out there that did look interested, onward and upward or just onward.

I hope the club collects the players pay, and donates it to comic relief. IT WAS A JOKE. :oops:

well, that was embarrasing. lets stop the season now to prevent anymore shocking performances because we have looked so poor over the past couple of months its awful. i have not played for approx 6 years and 4 stone overweight but I wouldnt be bothered about facing our attack. I know Taylor scored but my word, how poor. Our tactics were so obvious after about 10 minutes that it was simple for desborough, I mean Desborough, Desborough!! No wondor they cam back into it in the second half because they must of came out and said to each other "is this all they have got"!! lets get rid of the average ones at the end of the season and plan for next year. At the moment we will be lucky to get 4th.

The question has to be.. Why the f*** did Starms not get them to stop playing long ball?

Fazel and Taylor up top are NOT going to win headers.

Why was Dunks on the bench if he's not going to be used? Needed a goal on the last 10 minutes and didn't bring him on? Fit players in the squad please.

Management were quiet, Starms just standing there, where's the passion?

Awful performance which lacked intelligence. We should have been comfortable winners.

Starms keeps the players on the pitch after the game, rightly so but some of his decisions baffled me tonight.

I'd have brought Wiznieski on... Oh yeah that's right he's long gone!

Oh well, hopefully recent results and performances (or performances as a whole since Spalding) will put to bed any thoughts that this group of players are capable of securing the primary objective next season.

I must be in the minority here but I didn't think we were as bad as being made out. Just as a win papers over cracks a defeat a loss opens chasms that aren't there.

Certainly there were disappointing aspects, letting a little fat lad score with two headers being the main, and some poor decisions being made in the middle of the park.
