The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Well done to all who have helped with the pitch again. I sincerely hope this is sensible though and it's not another Arlesey.

Always a worry when rain is forecast in the afternoon - fingers crossed we'll be okay!

But for now .....

Great effort from everyone. I notice a certain team up the road couldn't get there game on. I wonder how many of them made an effort to get there game on????? probably none!

Big problems with that pitch though. There' only one UCL game off so far and not many of them have many working on their pitches.
Don't think it's been as wet this week, I was running in Harborough this morning and the Welland must be a foot lower than last week.

does anyone know if nabil will be in the squad ??

I think he's still another week away. We'll find out soon though!

Good 3-0 win, comfortable despite the conditions. Going to state an unpopular opinion here and say that Hoban offers very very little. Lost the ball almost every single time he tried to take his man on. When's Richards back?

Important to get back on track again in the league, very difficult conditions and a much improved second half performance.

His cross for the first goal. Does over do it at times but to say he offers little is wrong. The conditions didn't help today but he always causes problems for the defence.

One time out of at least 5/6 he beat his man and did something good, that's offering very little IMO. Richards offers 10x more when he plays.
