Edinburgh demands defender goals

Rushden and Diamonds manager Justin Edinburgh says he expects more goals from his full-backs this season.

Edinburgh, who became manager of the club in February, wants his defensive players to help the team improve on last season's mid-table finish.

Edinburgh told BBC Radio Northampton: "I've spoken to the full-backs and I'll be expecting them to get three or four goals this season.

"We've got goals in us, I feel that and the group do too."

Defender Curtis Osano, who joined from Reading last season, only managed one goal last season but said he was keen to add to his tally during the coming campaign.

"I like to get forward, trying to score a goal or two - but so far that hasn't worked that well. But Justin adds more to my game going forward and I should be able to get a few," he said.
