The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

"Adams was delighted with the signing, stating: “Aaron has a good pedigree and I am looking forward to working with him. He has been spoken to by other clubs and it is great that he wants to come to Bedford.

“He has had a couple of disjointed seasons. The time has come for him to settle down and enjoy playing his football at a good club where we know he will play his best football.”

How long will he last there I wonder?

During pre-season they'll think to themselves we've signed a decent footballer here with all the attributes. Then as the season goes on he'll think he's the best thing since sliced bread and walk around with one of the finest potato cuts on his shoulder. He wont see the season out im sure!

Advice to Bully, don't put him on the bench.

And probably best not to follow him on Twitter either

I genuinely hope he does "sort himself out",a player with the talent that he has is a loss. Im not holding my breath though.

July 19th. Bedford v AFC R & D.
That should be interesting

Clearly the task was beyond Bully's man management skills.

It's a shame, as Brownie said 1 to 1 he's a lovely lad, but he doesn't seem to have the right mindset to deal with what he perceives as failure.

Talent wise he's a far better player player than step 4 but without being able to deal with physiological demands put on him then he's always going to be fighting the demons.

That's not meant as a character assassination just my view of it from the information available.

Kingy doesn't seem to recognise that football is a team game. Perhaps he would have been better selecting an individual sport such as running, cycling time trial, golf or tennis where the 'team' element is minimal.

Probably right there Trek.

I'm always amazed at how much grief Kingy receives on here. By far the best player I ever played alongside, I'm sure if he returns to football he will do well providing he finds a manager he can bond with.
