Don't forget you can listen on Radio Diamonds if you can't make it to Corby.

Well the lads deserve credit for giving it a good go in the second half, we actually looked a threat going forward and against a Corby side who were clearly low on confidence themselves, we deserved more for our performance going forward. And got to say it was certainly an entertaining derby game for NYD.

But of course we got nothing as usual because of a defensive horror show and we could have been down 4-0 after half an hour. Don't get me wrong, we haven't exactly been brilliant in defence this season, but we haven't been that bad for the most part, but today was an absolute shambles, we gifted them chance after chance, it was too easy for them to get in behind us throughout, Michael has a big job to sort that out for Saturday cause we just make things so hard for ourselves conceding so soon after kickoff in both halves...

[The pressman]

Absolutely spot on Olly. i'm going to have nightmares over Corby's first goal. We were sliced open and the scorer couldn't believe his luck. Purse had a nightmare at the back and my only surprise was that he wasn't taken off sooner. Ngwa did really well for the 45 minutes he played and I think he'll be a real handful when properly match fit. MOTM again was the outstanding Ryan Inman who is at the centre of everything we do - perhaps he could play as a central defender against Gresley as well as taking all the corners and free kicks!!!

It was really encouraging to see the grandstand finish that almost earned us a well deserved point. However, in reality we lost again and games are running out. I just wonder what may have happened if a half fit Harriman (Achilles) and a half fit Shanks (knee) had played this afternoon? Water under the bridge now but I fancy we'd have come away with a point or 3!

Gresley lost 0-6 at home today. Surely, surely we can win that one.

[STAGMAN]

Diamonds fans really got behind the team in the second half, great atmosphere, pissed i can,t make the Gresley game which i am sure is going to be corker if today is anything to go by

Gresley lost 0-6 at home today. Surely, surely we can win that one.

Not with our defense

The squad deserved the applause from the fans at FT today, they put in a good shift and didn’t let their heads drop, with some decent attacking play too in patches. With that said, it’s imperative that we switch on from the start of each halves going forward. Our defence was incredibly poor today, yet a special shoutout must go to Jacob Scott who was the exception, I thought he played well at RB and played some great balls through to Anderson. The defence in general is so so disappointing because we literally have an ex EFL defender with countless appearances as our manager. If I was expecting anything from Harriman, it was for him to make us a solid prospect at the back. We are so poor. Overall, I am feeling *slightly* positive ahead of this Saturday. I really hope the footballing Gods are looking down on us.
