The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I suspect that all "border" clubs in all step 5 leagues have been told they may be required to move, after the mess the F.A. made of things last year. Can't see any point in swapping Godmanchester and Huntingdon, they should be in the same league, whichever that may be.

There are teams from all over the country been put on notice.

With the UCL Premier only having 19 teams I would expect that teams would be transferred in rather than out.

We won't know until the end of the season.

Some clubs higher up the pyramid have asked to be placed lower down, and so of the ground gradings for clubs have not been up to standard, the FA will inform us soon 8-)

It should be a goalfest next week against S&L, it'll be interesting to see how bad they actually are.

I'd much rather start with Dunkley (& Koriya) up front. The man is an absolute machine and was a step above the rest when he came on. Really hope Peaksy holds onto him for next season.

Felt the same when he came on at half time against Yaxley. He won so many headers I lost count and realised how much we had missed him in the previous few games

Absolutely, if we didn't have Dunkley, I'd say going forward, Lorraine wouldn't be a bad addition to the squad, he's done alright, but its almost a bit of a mismatch if you compare them, few players manage to deal with Dunks, especially in the air and it never ceases to amaze me how consistently he gets to the high balls, 'absolute machine' describes him well, I really hope he's here next season. Lorraine just doesn't have that presence like Dunks does and certainly isn't as much of a handful to deal with, he's decent in the air and strength-wise, but not a patch on Dunks.
