The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Great start!

Just got back,

Was a very impressive display, the lads tried to play football against a quite physical Crawley team.
Starms has them playing the right way 8-)

Really impressed with some of the inter play, defence was solid and we had a load of chances, bodes well for the future, glad I went 8-)

Although I'm biased I felt he had a very good second half and was unlucky not to score and set up Alfie's goal. An unbiased opinion anyone? ;) Although he hasn't signed on yet I'm quietly confident that something positive will happen in the next few days.

The team as a whole did terrific after a shaky start and played some really good stuff in the second half.

was an absolute pleasure to watch last night, i said on 85 minutes, can they just keep playing all night!

Aynsley was a class above, Troy looked very good indeed in the midfield and the front two never stopped working. Good strength in depth too when the subs came on.

Can't wait for saturday now

What's with the surname change?

he's been listed as Farden and Johnston at previous clubs, so we thought we'd ask him what he would prefer and he said Johnston

Hopefully the style of football won't be affected by the Dog & Duck pitch, when we play at home...

Maybe WTFC and us should apply for a grant to go for a 3G pitch now that the F.A have allowed them to be used in F.A Competitions up until the Senior levels however do not about rules on pitches within the various Non League levels.

The pitch wasn't great but we coped with it and still played some very decent football, on grass i think we would of beaten them by an even bigger margin.

Aynsley was very vocal and let nothing get past him, midfield were confident on the ball i was impressed with Okechukwu and when Soetan came on he looked really lively too could be a good impact player off the bench against tired legs!! Deven and Alfie both deserved to score so glad they both did overall really impressed!! :mrgreen:

Thought there keeper was lucky to stay on the pitch after reacting and raising a hand, it may have been a foul but the ball was there to be won!!

Oh and I hope Quincy only lets the ball go under his foot once a season, because his howler in the first minute was comical, he got better and claimed most of Crawleys crosses/corners quite comftably!!

Oh and the Kit looked fantastic can't wait to purchase a shirt!!!!!

I'm still getting to grips with who is who, but I felt everyone had a good solid game last night so he must not have looked out of place ;)

What position did he/does he play?
