The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

.......but the next 9 games are definately winnable if you look at them.

We're 9 points from the play-offs and have a game in hand on Fleetwood in 5th - what do you reckon? Surely not !!!! ;)

I still think its unlikely, but confidence will be high now and looking at the run of games we've got - maybe I might get myself a bit excited now....................mad after the run we've had I know, but hohum !! :lol:

Bring on Tamworth and renewed optimism !!

I think somebody needs a lie-down..

Tamworth (h)
Cambridge (h)
Cambridge (a)
Gateshead (a)
Bath (h)
Eastbourne (h)
Histon (a)
H&Y (h)
FGR (h)

I'm under no illusions as to our chances of reaching the play-offs, but it's certainly a kind set of fixtures to help us get over our recent bad form. It's nice to head into these fixtures with renewed confidence, anyway.

I'll be surprised if we get to the play-offs, but with some luck, and hopefully some more point deductions to the teams around us ;) we could do it.
20 points from the next nine games and who knows...

Got the first one wrong but I had us down to draw at Cambridge and they got tonked at home today. If we can keep a couple of clean sheets then we'll be right back in the mix!

We mustn't get too carried away, looking at the ages of our players for the full first team squad the average age was 23 yrs old today, that's young for this division ! Give them a couple of years together and we could develop a very good side.

Nw we have finally won a game an that we've now had too game with a good end product hopefully this can spur us on for the next few games !! Well done to the lads today sounds like it was a great performance

:lol: After 60 minutes of the H&Y game we were nervously looking over shoulders, wondering where the next win was going to come from and preparing ourselves for a relegation battle. 120 minutes of football later and were back in the play off hunt and contemplating the possibilty of 10 consecutive victories! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I love football! :lol:

Me too, especially being a Diamonds fan, you never know what you're going to get - I have the headache pills easily to hand for next week just in case ;) :lol:

I'm not getting carried away, honest, but I think confidence will be high now and the fixture list has been kind to us, "on paper" the next 9 are winnable .....................cue a crashing down to earth !! Love it !!

This is our first win since the end of October...make the most of it and get over excited...I bloody love football
