The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Vastly improved performance offensively and in terms of work rate. Every player put a shift in and I thought Merrill, Clarke and McBride were fantastic. Morgan was great coming off the bench too.

Team spirit seemed a lot, lot better, as did the atmosphere.

Great attacking performance in the second half, the 4th goal was a particularly nice move, they were tricky going forward with their decent quick wingers, but like I said on the other thread, some people had forgotten how good we are and that we're as good as and can beat anyone at this level (perhaps with the exception of Spalding, we'll have to see). Hope we see Ben getting more time in the coming weeks and dare I say maybe even replace Faz for a game or 2 who could do with a kick up the arse to get him performing at a better standard than he has been recently.

And was the attendance really only 14 more than Tuesday night, I thought it looked a lot more tbh?

Good to see Gilly back in the fold with a cracking cross from him to set up Ben for his goal. good all round performance

Great result and a great performance, thought Clarke had a good game, he did nothing wrong all game, the whole team were on top form, can't fault any of them.

Was expecting a much closer game to be honest, considering Cogenhoe's position, but we were just too good for them, which showed on our day we can beat anyone in this league.

Probably helped by playing alongside Parky, who brings a big level of experience to the side.

They didn't get going, but, I don't think we allowed them to.
The positives were without doubt, the midfield, Sean definitely and to see Ben play how he did was a message to the others, the team spirit seemed happier and it needs to continue. A win was a good result and answered a few questions.

Spot on, Parky does bring a more confident manner to the defence.

Not too many slaggings off tonight 8-)
