The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Agree with the first penalty.. Osano fouls him outside of the box and continues to do so until they are well inside.

However how the 2nd one was given i do not know. the two players must have been a yard apart when the ball was flicked into prossers arm and although it changes the direction of the ball he makes no attempt to move his arm into the path of the ball.

The break away goal is brilliant if only it had gone straight to Az when cleared the first time, but what a well taken goal by MJ, lovely control turns one defender and then makes sace for himself to drilll a low shot. v.impressed by that! Hopefully back to winning ways and a win helping the defense to work as a unit and stop letting in leaky goals.

Joe Day once again proving why he should be diamonds first choice goalie with a number of good saves and a penalty stop

brilliant goals!

Joe Day looked very good in the video, possibly one of his best performances this season, and aaron looked class to with his flick back to get gash with the first goal. God knows what Osano was playing at with the first Penalty and the secound one the country played kicked the ball at Prosser?'s arm.

I've merged the 2 topics for you - DF

O'Connor's really stepped up as captain, that pass for Charles was sublime and his finish for the 2nd was very cool.

Great performance altough lucky in parts but we looked like a team up for a fight which we havent been of late, defo can't wait to play Tamworth now looks like on the back of our last two performances were finally hitting the form weve needed for a while, Great win and great performance !! Well done lads and good to see Gash get his first let's hope there's more to follow ...

And his vision for the third wasn't too shabby either. ;)

Have you over looked the second half fight back at Hayes last Tuesday evening?

Or the comeback from 3-1 to 3-3 against Eastwood?

I was going to mention that Dave, but I didn't since we ended up losing that one. ;)
However, the team are now showing some spirit and belief in their ability.

Not overlooked at all just think from what i saw we seemed to ave add something a little different in this game compared to those other games, Hayes was the spur we needed an i just think this game we really looked alot better going forward, in both games we have had a fight in us but this one more so than others ....... ;)
