“Dare we dream of a return to the good ol’ days?”

Perhaps it was the win over Kettering provoking memories of Duane Darby… maybe it is the 5-4 and 6-1 wins reminding us why we love the game… it could just be the simple relief to see our team managed by a popular manager and getting results on the pitch. Whatever the reason, optimism has returned to Nene Park. The Diamonds Forum’s Godber gives his thoughts on the season so far, and asks the question: can we dream of a return to the glory days of old?

Random stats and quirks (aka “filler”)

-

Did you know?

• In our last 20 games we have never thrown away a half-time lead.
• We concede twice as early when we are away from home.
• Dale Roberts concedes a goal roughly every hour this season (compared to every 82 mins last season)
• Akurang is just 3 goals away from beating last season’s club top-goalscorer.
• Lee Tomlin (with 5) has recorded the most assists in the league this season.
• RDFC have had the most shots of any club this season, Tomlin leading the way with 40.
• We have commited 147 fouls this season, second in dirtiness only behind Crawley.
• If the league was run on second-half scores we would be top.

Now you know.

The Osano-Robinson Cup

 

Akurang is congratulated on one of his goals against Barrow, but the real goalscoring interest story of the season will be contended between the defenders

The Osano-Robinson Cup

1. Osano 0 goals
2. Robinson 0 goals

There is a battle going on in the heart of our defence and, amusingly, it involves not saving, but scoring goals.
