The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

best performance & atmosphere for a while, great afternoon shame so many are still staying away.

Really important win today, seems the luck was well and truly with us for a change. Tee’s goal sounded great on twitter! . Just shows that we can still survive this, get that new manager in with a few connections and this is still possible.

That was all the players doing,THEY did what was needed, and got the three points.

And that’s the danger, people will think well we won so let’s stay as we are.

Special mention has to go to young Fraser Corden, a great performance from him.

Kings Langley are in rotten form so I'm glad we've been able to turn them over and hopefully build some all important confidence.

It goes to show that with support from the fans we can achieve what seems impossible. Forget how poor the opposition was we still have to win it and get the ball in the net and this win will hopefully give the players some confidence for the matches ahead.Just one thing I noticed was how pleased Richard Maxwell was at the result and him and the whole team thanking the supporters for their efforts in what was a good afternoon, so like him or loathe him give him and the team some credit for what they achieved this afternoon.

3 points was an absolute must today and the players got the result. Connor tee's free kick was an absolute rocket, don't think the keeper see it until it bounced back out of the net! Actually thought kings Langley were the better side in the first half and we were lucky to not be out of sight, as they also hit the bar, a number of blocks and snedker saves. Different story second half and the sending off may have knocked them some what (you just knew he was going to end up seeing red after he was booked about 30 seconds after coming on as sub!). Nathan hicks was everywhere today, kanga along with ngwa caused problems as usual. Fraser cordon is improving all the time. Hughes and empochontsif were solid at the back and to be fair to Charlie black, he was solid at left back (not sure if that's his proper position?).
I know we can't get carried away after a first win in a while, but if the team can units and a couple more faces come in then who knows how many more wins we can achieve. Let's enjoy today's victory and move on to the next

Really enjoyed todays game, we oh so needed it.

The rain actually helped by getting people to fill the de banke which created a good atmosphere especially for the third and fourth goals. Really think we need more people to stand in there for future games, so we hopefully get more scenes like today.

Big mention to Hicks who I’m normally criticising after each game, he was very good.
