The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Really pleased with the performance today. Not sure how it ended 0-0, we could have had plenty if our final ball had been a bit better. To keep a clean sheet is quite a turnaround from the last meeting although if I remember correctly I think we were missing Dolman that day, amongst other issues!

As mentioned above I thought the formation worked well today, with Macleod and Acquaye getting up in support of Nabil quickly and frequently. Jesse Akubuine had a great game and was rightly given the MOM on AFCRDTV. He’s really growing in to his role in the team.

Decent team performance. Zak done a job on millsy, both our centre halfs very good. Jordan a threat,nabs hold up play very good which makes that system work to bring others into play. But the biggest plus for me today was the performances of young jesse & slinny! Thought jesse passed it well,broke up play & made some great tackles,I've never see slinny head so many balls as today,he sat in the middle of the park brilliantly today,he looked composed in possession & his decision making on when to turn them around was a big plus for us. For a 0-0 draw a very good game to watch. Play like that boxing day I fancy us to win.
