The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Really good news the re signing of Heath, Dallas and Jarvis Wilson. The two from Bugbrooke sound OK but we won't know until games get started if they can hack it at Step 4.
We know we have lost Inman and Scott to higher level clubs so good luck to them and probably Wyatt will be loaned to a higher club.
I would like to see players of Step 3 or 4 experience join us now rather than anymore Step 5's.

If you think we're signing players from Step 3 you're living in cloud cuckoo land

I didn't say we are. But players with Step3 "experience" is a perfectly reasonable hope.

Decent amount of the core of last season's team announced so far.

The 2 taking the step up definitely look like they've got the right mix of experience / skills. Always hard to tell whether a player can make the step up - but given the quality of his signings last season, I have trust in Harriman to make the right call.

Where did Jacob Scott go, I missed that one?

Boston.

Good move for the lad, hope he does well. I'd imagine Reuben will loaned out to a NL or NLN side, I do think he has the quality to be a success in those leagues. I wonder if somewhere like Brackley would go in for him? Hopefully with Harriman being the U-18s manager as well we can get a few decent prospects on loan again.

I believe that Wyatt was moved up to the 1st Team squad for this season. Was on Northampton retained list info I think

I'm would have thought that the 2 new lads have been signed on Dan Porters advice? I'm guessing Harriman will then run the rule over them in pre season?

Luis Pinto Leite emigrating to Denmark, thinks he can get into their team for the Euros perhaps
Good Luck Luis, thanks for all your efforts.
