The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Looking at the table I think we could also confirm against Ebbsfleet if AFCW win on Wednesday but fail to win on Saturday and we win?

Agreed, but i'll wait to see what happens on Wednesday before updating that bit.

Actually, changed my mind.

Thankyou for this.....i dont think i have any more nails to bite off....im not into toe nail biting but they are looking tempting !! :oops:

I don't think we've got anything to worry about, although really we've got to beat Ebbsfleet to avoid any nervy moments.

We got to remember that the Fleet will be fighting for their lives on saturday, So its not going to be easy.

They have some good players aswell; Ashikodi, Charles, Cronin, Crooks, Viera etc, it wouldn't be a easy game!

What bigger an incentive can the players get to win knowing that a victory will ensure we are in the play offs - a completely unlikely scenario at the beginning of the season. We could only dream of this situation in August and I bet there were not that many of us that thought it was achievable but just a pipe dream

I'd dearly love us to gain the points we need on Saturday. I think our whole squad is knackered at the moment and Justin needs to be able to rotate the squad and give certain players a much needed rest. We've looked jaded recently and need to be fresh for the play-offs..........IF WE MAKE THEM ;)

I shared that concern until I listened to the two interviews prior to the Ebbsfleet game - from JE and Max Porter - it sounds like the two days off have done a good job, and things are looking better on the injury front too.
