The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Bugbrooke v Oadby tonight. What do we think, I am going for 2-2.

I can't see Bugbrooke keeping it down to 2 against their quick front-line. They were not organised when we played them, so hopefully they will tighten up at the back. Can they score 2 ? Not convinced, so I say 1 - 2 or 1 - 3.
But still hope they do us a favour.

From someone who's at the ground. Apparently Oadby have loads of players who are unavailable tonight. Only one sub and a good player who is doubtful lasting 90 mins.
Small crowd about 20 at present, none of the trappings laid on for us and pies and chips being cooked to order!

Oadby will nick I think! 2-1. i think with them Sielby, Us then Oadby will take it out of them.

Andy Peaks is there on a 'scouting' mission.

Oadby just scored. Marginally against the run in play.
Scorer Duffy.

Oadby taking control, now 2-0.

Turns out Bugbrooke are crap, going 0 for 3 in big games.

Oadby are a bit good, aren't they. I wouldn't like to predict how this season will end now. Games where they are likely to drop points are now few and far between, fortunately they've got to face us and that is a must win if ever i've seen one from our point of view.

Every game is a must win now, with the other three sides winning every match. I don't think we could moan to much if we lost to either Oadby/Sileby/Eynesbury when we play them, as we've been on a great run since Oadby away and going to end somewhere!
