The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Interviews with AFCRDTV

Only the 3rd time of seeing the lads play this season, really feel that they are now starting to gel. Some good bits of flair in patches , as the season goes on we are going to giving the top sides a good test. Corby will be an interesting game and will see how how far we have come then , Really looking forward to this one with hope fully a cracking crowd as well as a great atmosphere

It was a decent performance overall, plenty of effort and some attempts to play the ball on the floor. I'd still like to see us take more of our chances. Some great crosses from Bruno which deserved better, but that can be worked on. He reminds me of Fazel Koriya.
A point is something to build on.

Yesterday's starting eleven is clearly the strongest team we can put out. We need to continue with them for at least another 3 games to enable them to gel. Sandy mentioned the Nkieta/Adegbola example of how they need to get to know each others style of play.
Some tough games this month starting on Wednesday.

Could be interesting at Rugby as they play on an artificial pitch will help us play real footie, on another note surprised to see St Neots loose at home especially after thrashing Yarmouth the week before 7-1

Match highlights from AFCRDTV

Much better performance, we actually looked like a team unlike last week. Of course we should really have won it with a man advantage, the majority of the play and a fair few chances, but you can forgive it on the opening day and at least we didn't lose.

With a bit of better decision making in the final this and clinical finishing, we've definitely got a good team that would give anyone a run for their money in this league, there's a great mix of young talent and experience and also some squad depth as well. Though Bruno Andrade looks to be a potential star of the squad at this early stage, his set pieces were very good in particular, hope we can keep hold for him for at least a good portion of the season.

Overall, feeling optimistic for the season after that!
