The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

What a night,it had everything, drama,excitement and the scenes at the end were worth the admission price alone.For those that chose not to go,for whatever reason you missed something really special, a team pulling for each other,playing with real pride and passion.The turnaround in attitudes was amazing, a totally different feel around the ground, people really buzzing, and ten out ten for the lad on the drum and his friends you could see how it lifted the youngsters on the pitch. I have to pick out Hamilton Bunga,he was superb from start to finish,he led by example, putting himself about and really gave the Nuneaton forwards something to think about. I know we shouldn't get carried away,and there will be tough times ahead but we are on our way and if we all stick together through the tough times ahead we will get there,well done to all the players, and for all the people who laughed at Richards "let's have a fun night" it really was that, wonderful.

Hw refreshing to hear a post match interview that was clearly spoken, no mumbling. And so full of positivity. That applies to both Maxwell and Bunga.

Correct me if I’m wrong (Probably am!) but was that Ryan’s first goal for the club?

Agreed, I was critical of Maxwell, but his post match interviews are so positive, such a step up from Burge, and I think it shows in the teams performance.

Listen back with Radio Diamonds - a highlighted version will be available later in the week as per Joseph.

Beat me to it, great header that Hednesford that sparked THAT comeback.
Big result tonight, going to be a occasional goer this year due to money/general life but hoping to see that sort of performance whenever I manage to come

Think he scored at Stratford and Lowestoft too although could be wrong. Possibly first home goal.

Did score at Lowestoft.

I think he’s got about 5 now overall - Formic will know!
