The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Facing a team two divisions below us on Sunday and I don't think there's anybody who thinks we're going to win the match. I don't ever remember confidence in the team ever being this low. Possibly the worst I've known since the Ernie tippett era. I would actually be happy with a draw and take them back to Hayden road for a replay. Hopefully enough fans will make the journey and get behind the lads!

Any chance of a signing? It has been WEEKS since it was first talked about needing a more senior striker but we’ve heard nothing.

Where are the senior players we were told we also needed. It feels like we’re not even looking as yet again just like pre season we are quiet as a mouse. The last number of interviews, the questions about adding players have stopped, why?

The clubs in trouble above us have all done something to try and fix their issues. Stour making signings, Ilkeston making signings and Hednesford are making signings and changing management.

We are in dire straits, confidence looks to be at a low from management to players. I don’t want to hear about waiting until 10 games in to review, what’s going to drastically change? We know the problem, fix it now. I’d rather not wait and see how many points we are adrift and potentially be out of the fa cup…

I agree it’s a real shame we haven’t got anyone in this week.

Agreed, would be okay with a replay, but to lose this game would be unacceptable, we need to get through and have something to give us a lift otherwise more and more fans will get on Burge and the team's back.

Anybody else find the fact that Burge didn't face the camera for latest interview a little odd?

Joseph was sitting on the bench to the left.

FFS, you're scraping the barrel for things to complain about now.
