It's looking good so far, a bit different from last season. Certainly reduced the average age in the team quite a bit. Time will tell I suppose but let's get behind what's happening. Onwards and upwards.

It never hurts to have a  6ft 4in player in the squad!

Tommy Taylor signed a lad Whittaker  who was a big un.  He did look good in the warm up.

I think  Joseph Nyahwema is "relocating to Australia to join his family who moved overseas during last season."

Playing devils advocate. We have signed a lot of youngsters from the south. A midfielder who's been injured a lot . A striker who is 35 scored 3 last season. A young lad who's jumping 2 leagues and Gold . In an ideal world every thing will be great . I have my doubts.... Thoughts?????

Let's not forget this is a total re-build and it might take a few games into the season for Lynn to find their feet.

We have lost a fair few decent players from last season and brought in a lot of players who we, as supporters know very little about.

I'm still in the camp of a mid table finish is a good result based on a lower budget team that is being quickly put together. Also we have a Manager who has been out of the game for a few years so he also might need to find his feet

Mal, you may well be right about the finishing position but I am much more positive than this time last year both in terms of the direction of travel off the pitch but also the prospects on it in terms of positive, entertaining football.  That isn't to say all of the signings will be a success but I have confidence in JR and even if things do need to be tinkered with mid-season he has that wider range of contacts that has been so obviously lacking in the past two seasons.

Lots of new players, I think it was always going to be the case. Pleased we have a last got local lad Toll, I think he will do well once he has adapted to the step up. Nice to see Marriott back, although speaking to a colleague who is a Boston fan, said a while ago that Marriott lacked pace, so not expecting too much. JR will need time to get the team how he wants it, but I'm sure he will, a little bit if patience is going to be needed from the supporters.
Title: Re: Incoming.
Post by: Mallard on June 14, 2025, 04:30:38 PM
Impressive signing in Lambert.  Always rated him.  Think he will do a decent job for us.

Will be interesting to see who will be our main pairing up top.  Both Toll and Marriot are 'fox in the box' type finishers. .  So will they he paired together or one or the other with Gold ?   

I don't think we will be short on entertainment next season. Mind has to be better than some of the stagnant  dross served up last season.

Has last season best NLN Manager been snapped up yet ?

Think most people are in the happy camp but after X number of years with Cleeve that's really not a high bar to achieve.

Just a few unanswered questions re what is happening with the Club ownership. Why Cleeve has been given a role. What is the update on the  DCMS situation, which I assume is holding up the Trust being activity involved with a % of the Club in exchange for their members £95,000.

Need to see more openness on all of this including those heading up the Trust on behalf  of its members.

Looking forward to the new season. Only time will tell but JR has recruited what looks a good squad. I think we have 22 players at the moment, so I expect there will be a few departures.
Hoping that Adam Marriott can recreate his form of old, I've been told he lacks pace, so we shall see. Impressed with JR and I think he will adopt a more entertaining brand of football than we saw last season.
