The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Totally in our hands now, for the first time we know what we have to do and should use the confidence gained recently (minus the last game obviously) to push on!

11 games left and 6 of them against sides below us in the current form guide - we need our arses kicked if we don’t salvage the season now, especially given the poor form of those around us.

We have to target a minimum of 18 points in my opinion and hope the others continue to fall away.

An exciting/nerve wracking couple of months ahead! Great isn’t it !!

2 huge games coming up (coleshill and quorn). Need at least 4 points. I thinks it’s going to be who can get some results against the better teams. Going to be very tight. But we can do it.

It’s definitely in our hands, so to speak. Personally though, games in hand fill me with 0 confidence whatsoever. Tuesday night games mean less of a crowd and less of us cheering those lads across the line. Although, having said that, it actually makes sense and would be good to reschedule Cambridge for March 9th, seeing as we already have Quorn on the Tuesday, making it cost effective with the players wages. I think 18 points, whilst it’s always advisable to aim high, is quite optimistic. Maybe that’s me being too negative. It all depends how we play this coming Saturday, if we can get an away win then I will have some confidence. If we lose, then that will be 2 on the bounce and I will be concerned that we may go on another losing streak, meaning that would be that.

Whatever happens now we have at least made a fight of it and given us a chance. I think that was all we wanted back at the start of January where it looked so unlikely
