The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Well that was a huge disappointment and arguably our worst performance for a long time.

Khalsa were just as careless as we were at times but took their chances with ruthless efficiency - helped by some inept defending where we were beaten for pace and gapping was an issue.

Apart from Ben Heath, I don't think anyone deserved the MOM and it was hard watch to see Jamal 'bullied' all afternoon as he led the line without any real help from the other 2 forwards.

And finally, if Jarvis did get a second yellow card for dissent - then in my eyes that is inexcusable especially as he is our captain who should be showing leadership. Admittedly he plays with his heart on his sleeve but now has 7 yellows this season and a red card - a one match ban awaits.

We need to be much better on Tuesday night and we must use Ryan Inman to his strengths,

Totally agree Pressman we were simply not at the races today, mind you i did not think that Jamal got the rub of the green the amount of time he was being held by their no 4 with the ref doing nothing about it

The first twenty minutes or so there were some positive signs we were on top, but then it went to pot. When they scored there was only going to be one winner.
Our passing is woeful, and not for the first time this season. Jamal looked so frustrated, as he was getting no service, and nothing from the ref.

On to Tuesday against a Rugby Town side who seem to be on a downward spiral, we HAVE to get a result.
