The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Looking forward to seeing if we have any trialists on Saturday and whether any of last seasons squad not yet signed up turn out, anyone heard any news on ELJ or Jason Lee.

With the numbers we have already I don't expect too many more, and would hope some of the Under 18's and 21's get a chance, otherwise what is the point of having them?

ELJ has signed for Bugbrooke

Bugbrooke. ? That is KTFC development team.

Notice that there's not a regular right back signed yet, can somebody try and tempt Joe Merrill back to the club!?

No right back and no wingers.....great

I understood Pradeep Bahrey is a wide midfielder or winger in old money.

Even so, one winger isn't enough for a starting 11, let alone a squad! Nabil said he can play out wide but I'd rather have actual wingers playing on the wings.

We didn't have a right back for most of last season, but it didn't stop us from challenging for the title.

I'd say only having one winger is a bit more drastic than having no dedicated right back but having players that can fill that role to a degree.

Don't panic there's a number of PSF matches to be played and usually our manager plays a number of triallists so I expect before we play our first league match there will be players in every position plus cover.
