Two unbeaten teams going head to head. Chorley have made a great start to the season. Chorley had a 4-1 win at Hereford Saturday. Have to think Chorley will be favourites to take all 3 points in this one. However with Lynn's impressive away form thus far we might nick something.
Heart telling me a draw head saying a narrow home win
Yes Mallard, Chorley will be favourites, as we were against Darlington I guess, but it doesn't always go that way. Imagine we would view a draw today as a good result. After watching both our home games, although we drew both, I feel we are good enough to win today and certainly shouldn't fear Chorley, or any team in this league, respect them yes of course. So impressed with Nyahwema, if he plays to his full potential he causes our opposing full backs (especially if he plays on the left I feel) so many problems.
For me this season it is more about enjoying the attacking style that James Rowe plays. I think with that results will be more favourable.
See lynn we're down to 10 men after 2 minutes ??
Looks like I was wrong when I said that I don't think Maja is going to contribute much to the team this season.....He's already "contributed" probably the quickest sending off in the clubs history!!
Down to 9 now as Chadwick has been sent off too!! JR is going to blow a fuse!!
What on earth is going on? Have we genuinely deserved the sendings off and bookings? It seems quite amazing.
We'll be lucky to escape with four or five goals in the circumstances.
In the words of Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood .... Absolute Disaster Darling ....
4-0 something wrong somewhere....but where.
put this one to bed but keep this defeat in mind for the ultimate revenge when they come to the walks; A certain martial art would say "no mercy" Merthyr another tough game but I think Lynn have to learn to find the net more now early days with a young side ;still learning to click together I predict 8th position at the end of season with a good potential next season

asked the ref Nigel he will give you the answer ; it is taking the Michael surely Lynn have got some discipline. to get 9 cards but perhaps a wake up call for Luke not to go walkies outside his area so often

With the amount of bookings and sending offs today, even without being at the game or seeing the highlights, discipline surely must be questioned today. :dontknow:
Let's not all get carried away with this result today. Not a bad day at the office an awful. It happens.
We have seen enough with this team that we are all about attack. Going down to 10 and then 9 will always be an issue.
Positives are despite a 4-0 drubbing we only drop from 7th to 8th. Plus Rowe will fire these players up for next Saturday so look out Merthyr, you could be on the receiving end of a wounded animal.
Rowe hasn't gone from JR to a J Arthur overnight,
Whatever happened - one game doesn't define a season. It's still very early so we move on and hopefully regroup for the next game.
I have just one word Unbelievable
J R's usual post match interview could be an interesting one.
Think he'll call it for what it is. Poor day with lack of discipline.
The Chorley Manager's interview was interesting. He didn't think they were at their best. Bit leggy after Saturday. Gave Lynn Credit for making a decent fist of it at 1-0 and down to 10 men.
The 2nd sending off sealed the game.
He also went onto say Lynn players were well fired up from the off.

His post match interviews wind me up!!
I think he's a talented manager and I'm certainly enjoying watching us this season, but his interviews after matches come across as a bit baffling and always commenting on the officials.
Maybe he's too emotional and needs longer to process the match rather than have a microphone in his face within an hour of the final whistle??
Anyway, it's still a decent start to the season - Chorley away is always tricky - lets move on and hopefully get our first home win of the season on Saturday vs Merthyr

Maybe Bal will have a quiet word with his employee.
I presume its the Club that will be picking up all these fines, and not the individuals? :dontknow:
He certainly likes to put a positive spin on things even a 4-0 defeat. Plus he does like to lay it in a bit thick with 'it's the officials fault'. He does tend to get the attention of the officials with his theatricals on the touchline. Then again so did a certain Steve Evans. Not sure if it does the team or indeed the Club any favour's. Not to mention his blood pressure.
:scarf:Isn't it strange last seasons goalkeeper who was glued to the goal line was criticised for that style of play, now a more mobile goalie is criticised for that style of play. On Saturday that striker free on goal would have probably scored against most goalies it wasn't LC's fault. I haven't seen highlights from Mondays debacle so cannot comment on that.
My feeling is that LC is the new style of goalie like it or hate it.This allows a team to build attacks quicker and it gives an extra defender when necessary. Just watch the matches on the Television.

I would guess that he's been instructed to play that way, so it's a shame that he takes the blame if they get caught out.
Having now seen the highlights I think the first sending off was really harsh...and the second was also dubious but more understandable and probably wouldn't have happened had the referee not made the first decision. I hope the Club appeals against the first at least.
