The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

As others have said, we have a right-back at the club who has won the Southern Premier in Kennedy but he has always been played out of position on the left. In any case, surely he can't be any worse than Wilkinson at right back?

What happened to Charlie Butt? I thought he showed great potential but never really given chance this season and was named man of match against Basford

Website doesn't say anything about him leaving so I assume he's still on our books? His Twitter's on private so there's nothing I can see from that.

Another good signing, hopefully he can bring us back to winning ways.

Kennedy played for us at right back for 30 mins or so against Kings Langley and failed to impress me.

Wilkinson's had the majority of the season compared to 30 minutes. He's barely had a chance at right back.

We massively need a creative central midfielder, it's by far our biggest problem! I don't know what this guy or Jepson are like but if they can keep the ball and pass it, great. If they can create something, even better. We've got decent strikers and decent wingers, we've just had NOTHING for them to feed off.

We need to go back to basics, why on earth Lorraine was played on the right on Saturday, I will never know. It took the lads on the bench far too long to recognise that weren't working. I don't mind if it's Hall, Pinder even bloody Lamb Johnson, but for god sake play a winger, give their left back something to worry about. For me it was a case of either Sandy or Lorriane to partner Stevo. I think people have been unfair getting on stevensons back already, he hasn't been given much service. I thought Jason Lee looked decent at left back and has got a good head on his shoulders which is exactly what we need at this stage of the season. I agree we miss Browny big time, but as the song goes there is only one Sam Brown, and I don't think we'll find a more complete LB than him for while, so in the meantime I'm more than happy with a left back behind Claudio who isn't going to over lap to be honest. I'd get Kennedy in at RB. And play one of the more creative midfielders along side quigs.

We set up for a point a Royston, which is frustrating because they were there for the taking.
