The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Sills
Smith
Keehan
Robinson?
York...whose he????
Farrell

And will Neil Cousins come off the payroll now?

Possible 7 out and bring in 2 minfielders and real striker.

Ps Really disappointed that I cant make it on Saturday. I was planning to travel on Eastbourne Supporters coach but something has come up.

Spence could well be (hopefully).

I think Sam will be given until the end of the season, as he's only just returned from a long injury lay off, and has looked sharp in his 2 appearances so far.

Starting from the back:

Roberts - Don't want him to leave, but he must be furious at being on the bench, especially as Day is now no longer earning his place in the team.

Robinson - Been in bad form since the play-offs. I don't think he has risen to the challenge of a bit of competition.

Spence - Had one good game, K*ttering away in the FA Cup, apart from that he has been extremely poor, and at times an embarrassment.

York - Waste of a wage unless there are alterior motives behind signing him.

Keehan - He's missed half a season now, a seriously bad signing. It was obvious to me in pre-season that he was horribly unfit and just not up to it.

Cousins - Wasn't good enough when he was fit, and i don't think he's going to be any better after such a lenghty absence. JE seemed to like him though when he was about.

Sills - Been very disappointed with Sills, he always looked so good when playing against us, but he came to us in shocking form and despite scoring against Mansfield, just hasn't looked like doing so again.

Farrell - Ship him out on loan to BSN to find some form. He's worth having when he's fit and firing.

I think Power must be on the verge. He just isn't the player Edinburgh thought he'd be.

Can't see Smith or Cousins going just yet.

Seem to remember talk of Smith possibly being 1st choice in pre season, now he's back from injury time to make his mark.

And, in fairness to Cousins, although at first was rubbish, at the point when he got injured he was starting to look an ok player for us, if he gets back fit perhaps he might be suited to the 433 formation we've played at times.

I think BartonRaz's choices are definately under threat.
I don't think Farrell is worth keeping now, never gunna score many goals and must be one of the highest earners

sills is a different player to ones we've had lately. we're not great crossers into the box, so as an out and out striker he seems to not do much in games.
reminds me of alford.
