[ Tue 8th Jan ] v Rushden & Higham KO 7:45pm UCL1 HOME

I wonder how many fans they'll bring?

We need to stop teams exposing us down the flanks. Always seem to be short of defenders and I hope Merrill will also start.

I wouldn't imagine they will bring many of their fans with them, probably around the same as Twatworths.

1-0 just the start we needed, Taylor with goal, though poor keepier

[Diamondsiy]

oadby 3.0 up

[Rushdenjim]

GK error for the goal. First half similar to oadby. Chances but not putting them away. R&H getting luck down the wings. Need the second because R&H could score

[Rushdenjim]

Rode our luck there. The performance was not dissimilar to the Oadby game. First half we had the chances but didn’t put them away – Apart from a shot that their goalie should have saved. R&H had success down the wings in the first 45, just like Oadby did however the ability showed and they couldn’t put the goal in the net. In the second half we actually improved slightly but still couldn’t get the second goal to kill it off. Glad Allen got dropped after Oadby but Peter Okechukwu was terrible tonight. The management team AGAIN got a warning from the Ref but overall glad to have the 3 points but against better opponents we would have lost that.

Referee was a total joke and ruined the game. Every 15 seconds he was blowing for nothing challenges, and as for the penalty decision that wasn't - what was that all about?

Anyway, never truly in control of the game but a win's a win. Not sure how Okechukwu lasted the 90.

[Diamond_ Wolf]

I think we just about deserved the win but it was very unconvincing. I don't like to single out individual players but it is clear to everyone that Peter is simply not good enough, I couldn't believe that he lasted 90 mins.

Was'nt too impressed with Harris either, not sure what he brings to the team and he could'nt have touched it more than 10 times!

It's funny I thought the exact same thing re: Harris. We'll never find out but I'd love to know how many touches he had in the first-half. Couldn't have been more than 6/7. Just wasn't involved at all.
