The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I see the highlights and post-match reaction are up. Some interesting comments from MS. Definitely worth a watch.

to be fair Starms and Aynsley were gutted on saturday. A good learning experience i think for all though.

We are not going to win every game this season, no one does, but if we draw away and win at home, we will be in the mix come the end of the season, early days boys, early days 8-)

I still think their goal was offside.

Wasn't there last Saturday but it certainly looked from the video it could have been offside. Our defence shouldn't get caught like that. They do appear to be playing a high line and we saw that in the first half against Thrapston.
However, the team will learn more from a draw like that than from thrashing someone by a number of goals. As others have said it's still early days and it will take some time for them to gel as an outfit and show their true potential. By the time we play Oadby I'm sure we will be firing on all cylinders. ;)

They're being a bit too harsh on themselves by the looks of that. If we play every game as though it's the last game of the season and to win that game means you win the league, and we'll be fine. Some good chances there we just need to be a bit more aggressive when shooting.

I thought Starms was spot on with his post match assessment. I don't think any of us expected to turn up and be winning every week and Saturday just confirmed that. There won't be any easy games, especially away from home.
