The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Cant disagree with anything said so far. Neither should play on tuesday (Adams and JJ up front) . Then whilst suspensions are in place everybody has time to reflect and assess the situation.
Its a positive that Tyler has apologised and I gather was quite upset by the whole incident.

Young goalie must wonder what he let himself in for!

JJ o'toole up front? I'd give Ethan Johnson a call and see if he wants a game first.
We've got to trust in our management and the board to find our way through this and support their decisions.

Didnt O Toole play upfront for Cobblers. I hope your comment about Johnson is an early April Fool joke.

JJ was in midfield and the EJ suggestion was a short term fix if we're struggling for players, that or ES starts

Think you're more likely to see a return of Jordan Graham than EJ or JJ up top

I feel sorry for the management and all the volunteers who have to deal with the fall out of this.

Yesterday, I was firmly in the camp that they should never play for us again. However, the management and the board should take time to assess the whole situation, including their reaction afterwards and their understanding of the implications they have caused.
I'm more disappointed with Bruno, wearing the captain's armband; he should be a role model for the younger players. He has let the club down massively. As said before, thank you to the remaining 9 players and subs, as the score could have become embarrassing.

Whatever decision the management and board make, I will support it. Let's still try to get as many down Hayden Road on Tuesday evening to support the lads who gave everything yesterday

Same here, it will have been a tough afternoon followed by a really tough 24/48 hours. EJ is well aware that the registration deadline is on Thursday so time is short if he feels the need to bring players in.

I think the goalkeeper yesterday was the 41st different player used this season
