The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I think we have to start with the team that started at Cambridge. If we can get a regular starting XI and they find form then don't fix what aint broke.

I believe that Shane Huke is now fit and would expect to see him on the bench.

I didn't even think about it when I posted, must be psychic ;)

I was surprised to see no Miller on the bench to, from the games I have seen him his is a good player and certainly a good guy to use for a long throw in. What does JE see in Osano that Miller doesn't have?

Miller was at the game yesterday, looked dead handsome in his suit and tie!

He's been really unlucky over the last few months as JE doesn't seem to fancy him. Did ok at the start of the season, scoring three times and no worse than anybody else. JE seems to have a right go at him everytime he plays at right back, having a rant and rage. Think he'll be out the door in the summer!

This is what we were discussing on the PDB yesterday. Miller has done nothing wrong in my book when he's played and his 3 goals from those limited appearances is a great conversion rate from full-back (note Curtis!).

As he was not even on the bench yesterday I feel that there must be other reasons, apart from his match day contributions, why JE appears not to fancy him which is a shame as he brings a lot to the team when he plays.

I agree about Miller. He's been dependable whenever he's played this season. I hope we do see him again and he is replaces Osano in the line up. So far Curtis is the only player in the back four not to have been dropped this year.
