What are people's opinions on the recent revival at R&H?
As a former player now living out of the area I keep a vested interest in the team and know that Aidy & Lee have kept their faith by playing a lot of young lads. I believe the vibe coming from there was that they were playing some good stuff but not quite getting the rub of the green.
Are they now playing decent stuff and getting the rewards from this in terms of points? Or have they just caught teams on off days/played teams not as good?
As a club with an excellent set up, youth set up & an increasing catchment area for players should they be slightly higher up the league?

Shortshorts,
Aidy, Lee, Mark Parsons & Mike Wilson have done a great job with the 1st team and Reserves and are being rewarded for all the hard work they have put in. The Under 18s have had a very up and down season but had a good result against Kettering Town in the cup on Thursday, the youth set up is also doing very well.

I definitely agree fishplate.
The reserves reaching the lower junior cup is testament to the hard work being put in. The club has a great struture in place and especially with the clubhouse as well.
I know first hand the amount of effort that Chris Ruff & Cudge have put in over the years and also Steve's input has been invaluable.
Do you think if they keep the current team together and keep bringing the young lads through they could be challenging in the near future?

Chris and Cudge are doing a great job and the clubhouse is being run by people who have football and not profit at heart.
Aidy is always looking for new players and also keeping an eye on the youth.
The club is moving forward and looks better by the week

Watched them a fair bit last season. Goal scoring was the problem, created a lot of chances and more often than not put in good performances. This seemed to be the same this season but since Tyler Merries has moved up front results and goals are now coming. Totally agree with everything that has been said with young players like Lewis O'Dell, Ben Allington, Harry Allington, Tyler Merries, Jake Upton and Ryan Kalla to name a few now maturing into quality players. Also quality players like Martin Mitchell and Matty Peacock who have played in the prem adding experience to a very young side. Was never really in doubt that Aidy and Lee wouldn't eventually put together a decent young side (squad) that i reckon will be up there challenging next season.

Forgot to mention Marvellous Marvin Entiwara. This boy has got potential and with Aidy and Lee coaching him he could be the next Cavell Jarvis in Div 1!!

From what i seen and heard they didn't get the rub of the green playing some decent football with-out getting the results but that's football however they have stuck together great spirit through-out the club its good to see all teams doing well.
