The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Just because we came back from 0-2 down that's little reason to celebrate. Make no mistake that was a very poor result against a team at the bottom. We are now in a relegation dog fight. Our upcoming opponents are Sphinx and Lichfield, both play off contenders.

Post match interviews with AFCRDTV

Do I want entertaining games or 1-0 2-0 clean sheets, feel like I want they latter now.

We just go out every game now having to outscore the opposition, it’s nackering .

On the plus side back to a settled squad now hopefully we can get back to that form we had.

Bruno should have scored two today .

Back to midweek training and Saturdays , which suited us on that 5 game wining stretch .

Let's not panic, we're 6 points off mid table Sphinx with a game in hand so it's not a relegation battle yet but we do need to start winning consistently. I really think we're going to miss Dawson, he had a great presence in the midfield. A few players looked rusty and didn't get going but I'm confident they will.

We almost lost to Loughborough at home, the games in hand excuse is wearing thin, it's only one game in hand now and we are still where we are. They say the table doesn't lie, look at our goal difference, that doesn't lie either.
Who are we picking up points against if we can just scrape a draw against Loughborough?

Apart from Bedworth at the moment who are losing touch the gap between 21st and 10th is minimal. if we are in a relegation scrap so are Sphinx a so called play off contender.

For once our attack options are good this season, it our defence where our problems lie at the mo, giving away soft goals to often, it seems we are Newcastle united under Keegan we have to outscore the oppo to get any points.

The most worried fans apart from Bedworth should be Wellingborough, a massive budget and no better than us in the League.

New manager come New Year if things for them dont improve.
