The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Match details...as always, initially away in a cup round.

Is this match decided on the day, or does it go to a replay? Maybe a replay would be welcomed, as I'm pretty certain the home league fixture against Grantham on the 14th must be off as they're still in the FA cup

Straight to penalties, no extra time or replays.

Kidsgrove have same league record as us. W2 L2 D1.
So should be a competive game. We don't need to be afraid of penalty shoot out.

<BUMP> Next up tomorrow!

Decent enough first half, good to get the first goal and we competed well, albeit it probably should’ve been 1-1 with Kidsgrove having a golden chance that they somehow put over the bar.

The second half however, left a lot to be desired. With that said, their very experienced striker Matt Rhead was a class above and not many teams at our level will have players of his quality.

Glad to hear Michael acknowledge that we are causing ourselves unnecessary problems with short set pieces, and that it won’t happen again going forward. The 3rd goal literally came from our throw deep in Kidsgrove’s half, which Bleu McNeill opted to throw short to Calvin Green instead of launching long. When we are 2-1 down in the 90th minute and we have set up the box for a long throw, just chuck it in there!
