Re: [ Sat 20th Jan ] v Rugby Town, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY

I think it’s safe to say we’ve waited a long time for an away win and a clean sheet! We showed from early on that we were the better side and fully deserved the lead. Getting the first goal for once just makes the world of difference and you could tell that Rugby were starting to panic. Nice to see ...

Re: [ Sat 6th Jan ] v Gresley Rovers, KO 3pm NPLD1M HOME

Undoubtedly one of the most disappointing defeats in the club’s history there is no dressing it up. It was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. I haven’t been as angry with our approach and team selection for a very long time. In one of the most crucial matches ever for AFC R&D against a ...

Re: [ Sat 11th Nov ] v Anstey Nomads, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY

As a die-hard fan who goes to every single home game and the vast majority of away matches, believe you me I am as concerned as any supporter is regarding our current predicament. The point I was trying to make was that we were a simple close range finish away on Saturday from getting a result again...

Re: [ Sat 11th Nov ] v Anstey Nomads, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY

In spite of the result that was a commendable effort against a team chasing promotion. After keeping them at bay for the first half an hour or so and having some promising attacks of our own, it was a bit disappointing to concede from Kanga’s unchallenged shot. When we let in another goal early in t...

Re: [ Sat 16th Sep ] v Coventry Sphinx, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY

After their fantastic first half efforts to get us into a great position, the players didn’t step up to the plate yesterday in that second half which is why we lost. It was nothing to do with tactics or formation. We performed our customary trick of conceding a goal right after the restart and after...

Re: [ Sat 9th Sep ] v Loughborough Dynamo, KO 3pm FAT1RQ AWAY

Absolutely gutted about going out but that was an excellent performance all round. After hitting the crossbar, post and creating two one on one chances, I just cannot for the life of me work out how we didn’t win that tie in normal time. It just sums up the way things are going for us at the moment ...

Re: [ Sat 22nd Apr ] v Kings Langley, KO 3pm SLPDC AWAY

Really pleased to finish the season and our time at Step 3 with a victory and on decent form. Another fantastic shift put in by the players. After being well adrift a matter of weeks ago it’s been a superb effort to avoid that bottom place, huge credit to everyone involved. Hopefully we can carry th...

Re: [ Sat 1st Apr ] v Tamworth, KO 3pm SLPDC AWAY

A superb result and a fantastic performance from every single one of those Diamonds players on that pitch. We were so close to a quite memorable victory. Although on the back foot at times, for much of the first half we went toe-to-toe with Tamworth and what a way to take the lead. Great strike from...

Re: [ Sat 4th Feb ] v Coalville Town, KO 3pm SLPDC AWAY

Well after the 7-0 annihilation at Hayden Road earlier this season in truth I don’t think we could’ve expected yesterday to go much better. We were quite simply beaten by the superior team, although this time left with our dignity intact. With Massingham and Hughes not playing it was always going to...

Re: [ Sat 12th Nov ] v Royston Town, KO 3pm SLPDC AWAY

I agree with Pigman and also think that things will change around for us. It certainly wasn’t the start we wanted conceding early on. We do seem to be quite vulnerable when defending set pieces and again we failed to clear our lines. During the rest of the first half we had a few promising attacks b...
