The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

We played some nice football at times and on balance I thought looked marginally the better team. However, we haven't worked the goalkeeper all night and it's very difficult to win a game if that's the case. We didn't deserve to lose but likewise didn't deserve to win.

On the evidence of the last three games we will make it very difficult for ourselves to get that 5th place. I am sure we will stutter our way to that objective as no one else seems to want that 5th place. I said earlier that the first two games for Burge were free hits as we were expected to win them. His test would come against Sports and Tamworth, he has failed the first one. Only a win against Tamworth will suffice to convince me he is the man for the job.

Totally agree! Played in the wrong areas far to much especially on a bobbly pitch. Nathan never really got into the game,and love to see Connor play abit more direct instead of keep checking back.

But for me a draw would of been the right result
