The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Turley played for them on Saturday.

Moments like penalty save at Sheffield stand out, and also the awful wander to the corner flag at Luton!!

Just read that if scores level aet we go straight to penalty shoot out.
If I recall correctly Turley scored one of the penalties in the 5-5 shoot out with Sheffield.

i remember him taking one against millwall, in the league cup.

Your memory is clearly better than mine!

Currently Diamonds 2 - Brackley 3

HT Diamonds 2 - Brackley 4

Finished 4-3 to Brackley. At 3-0 down after around 20 minutes the score line was respectable in the end. Typical Turner and Joseph type finishes and a brilliant diving header from Brad Harris for AFC. Bit harsh to criticise the young keeper but a more experience player may have done better to prevent the first three, although he had a quiet second half. Although we never want to lose I don't think we'll be too disappointed that we've exited from this competition

If we'd had a half decent keeper it might have been a different story.

Brackley worked very well as a unit I thought though.

Yeah, I don't know anything about the 'keeper, his background etc, but he had a tough debut. All 4 goals preventable from his point of view, particularly the first and second.

Brackley had some good players out last night which makes our performance all the better, particularly after a disastrous start. Shaun Jeffers who scored the first 2 goals has played for Coventry and Peterborough, and spent most of last season with Newport County.

Difficult night for a keeper to make his debut ,and he clearly told Jamal to play the ball away for the second goal,and was ignored, but I agree he had a bit of a mare with goals 1 and 3. Speaking to Skippy during the game it was their normal first team with the exception of 3 players, one of whom was Turley of course, so our performance ( once we got past the first 20 minutes) looks pretty good considering - I think their management team was quite impressed.
