Not an easy one, they never are, but winnable. They are one of the better supported teams with average home crowd of 130 (5th best in SLC).
Probably on a par with Barton so we will have to be on our guard.I always fancy us to score a couple but we do need to stop those sloppy goals that Peaksy has referred to lately.

A couple of top 10 clashes this weekend: Aylesbury v Northwood and Egham v Beaconsield.

With CSP at Leighton and St Ives home to North Greenford we are unlikely to regain top spot if we win.

Just been looking at their home record.
Wins against Bedford, Beaconsfield and most recently Royston, but lost to Potters Bar, Arlesey and Barton.
In 7 home games they have scored 8 and conceded 8.

Hopefully the fairly long break between games means some of the injured players will be back up to full fitness and we'll be able to put the best XI out there (sans Ashton).

I note the coach departure time has been changed - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/coach-travel ... etersfield

With the very poor weather forecast, notably during Saturday, I suspect there could be a threat to the game right up to kick-off, but perhaps an early inspection coupled with the forecast might help to reach an earlier decision.

I'd hope we'd find out quite early if it's off - could be "a long way for nothing" though!! I'd be gutted if it got called off !!

Team as expected. Only four subs with Joseph being the notable absentee!.

Its all going pear shaped. 0-1 down. Dolman sent off and no Radio Diamonds!

At least ref evened up the red cards. Pity we could not even up the goals.

Long way for nothing!

Frustrating first loss of the season.
