Title: Lynn v Sports
Post by: abovepars on December 27, 2025, 11:17:26 AM
Yesterday was a classic example of a game of 2 halves. First 10 minutes Lynn played slick attacking football and deservedly took the lead. At that time I thought that we were going to turn them over big style. Unfortunately then too many Linnets seemed to fall asleep and Sports sliced through our midfield and defence and got themselves in front.  Cully did say in his post-match interview that a few players were suffering from flu symptoms. So it was obviously the half time hair drier treatment or a halftime drink of gin and lemsip, but what a turn round in performance second half. With a few players to come back after injury, Lynn will be ok. As said by Veratis, first target is to get to 40 points and secure our place in this league and then build on that. Well done to Cully and Basa for turning things around at half time.  Looking forward to the rest of the season. COYL.

Also, Lambert's pacey chase down and lob that went narrowly wide, fairly early on.

It was a really entertaining match and I'm sure most of the 1500 of us who turned up enjoyed it!!

I thought it was going to be one of those matches where we didn't take our chances (early on) and it would bite us on the backside, but in the second half, we were reeally good.

The free kick for the equaliser was as good a goal you will see anywhere

And, while I'm not a huge fan of Gold, I think when he came on, his presence certainly gave Peterorough something to think about, as up to that point, their number25(??) had pretty much bullied Sealey.

Didn't realise until yesterday that Sports' manager was Phil Brown of Hull City fame!!
