The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

All I want is 3 points tonight, not too bothered if we don't play well, we can't really afford to go anymore games without winning otherwise we'll struggle to be in with a shout of the top 2. I wouldn't go as far as to say it would be the end of the world or a failure if we don't get promoted like some would on here as it is only our first season but I would like us to go into the last several weeks with at least a chance of getting a top 2 spot, otherwise people's interest will inevitably drop, as will the crowds I fear.

2-0

Gearing and Newman according to twitter, excellent news!

Typical, at home with tonsilitus and it's a cracker! Oadby winning 1-0.

Delighted to hear the scoreline at the moment - even more delighted to hear Hopey has scored tonight - 3-0, sounds like it could have been 5 or 6 so far.

Excellent coverage on Radio Diamonds by the way, very professional, well done guys, don't know what I'd have done without you tonight..........Bobos/The Duke is hopeless at text updates !!

First goal for Hopey, about time too

We are all over them like a cheap suit

Now that's a first half, only one team in it, the while team is outstanding but McBride, wow what a playerw

Every player has been outstanding. Even Gilsenan is in danger of winning me over. ;)

Morgan has been great, Newman is playing with renewed confidence and McBride is working like a dog. Gearing however looks a cut above. His goal and assist for Newman were real top drawer stuff.

Raunds keeper is having an absolute nightmare and I think we could rack up a few more here.

I don't think their keeper will relish 45 minutes in front of the PDB

Great to hear we are up at half time in what sounds like an entertaining game. Not able to get there tonight as not feeling so well, so sorry no pics.

Listening to Radio Diamonds with a carry out of Hart No 1, so there in spirit.
