How do you fancy our chances of getting something from this one? Their first game of the season so maybe a good time to catch them with us having a decent 90 mins under our belt.
Will King be returning after being ‘unavailable’ last weekend? Does all seem very cloak and dagger why he wasn’t playing last weekend. Does Junior miss his first game ?
I fancy us for a 1-1
-
Not sure we missed King that much, Rowley looked good in the first half and he will only get better with more minutes, seemed a more rounded player than King ie actually looked to get involved when we didn't have the ball. I think the bigger issue last Saturday was the front two which will have to change this week anyway, presumably with Linton getting his chance to stake a claim or, as we are away, will IC mix it up and just go with Gold up top and Gyasi and Rowley a bit deeper? Either way the back three and both full backs did enough for me to keep their places and there doesn't seem much option in the middle of the park unless we bring Sundire in for a bit more 'legs'.
As for Yeovil, as you say it might be a good time to visit and would be happy to come away with a point
-
Being ultra positive and going 2-3 to Lynn
-
Not sure we missed King ? King and Rowley together would lift our level, imho. Rowley did look decent vs Southend, and I can see him thriving if supplied with King’s vision and ability. We are on the verge of having a team that will trouble good sides in this league.

With you dilly the two would be a handful.

Rowley looked good in the first half because he could play in the gaps between the midfield and behind the front two, so where would you play King and who would you replace from Saturdays lineup? I guess you could play both off Omotayo with Morias being out but that looks a lot of 'providers' and not many 'finishers'. King and his injury record still looks a luxury to me that a small budget and resulting small squad is difficult to justify.
Also I am not sure we will 'trouble good sides' as I don't think Southend will be anything more than mid-table this season but if we can be competitive and consistently take points from those in the bottom half might be OK.
-
Maybe both could be fitted in a 4-2-3-1 system ?
-
Please give us your players for that formation Mall, so we can consider :laughcry:
-
Problem with it KES is that IC seems to feel more comfy with the 3/5 at that back
-
Yes, I think many managers of clubs in the bottom half are looking to keep it tight and still be in the game at 60 minutes (and who can blame them). At that point they will then consider possibly being more adventurous.
I personally don't think playing both Rowley and King in the same eleven will happen very often this season....it would be an interesting prospect going forward, but.leaves us more exposed on the counter....you could argue that attack is the best form of defence (a la Dilly), but that really only holds good when your attack is better than the opposition's defence, to a greater degree than their attack is better than your defence, if you get my meaning.
The defence is new and will take time to gel and get tighter.......and of course it needs to...the keeper Jones can't be expected to pull of that number of saves every game.

With Junior now missing for a few weeks and no sign of King, does leave us thinner than thin. Could we do with a body or two through the door?

Jack Wilshere in need of matches, released by Bournemouth and nobody wants him. :scarf: :hello:

I heard there was someone in Suffolk that would like a move.

Wouldn't cost us a lot then, would it :laughcry: :laughcry:

People keep talking about new players coming in. I suppose there is a chance that it could go the other way and we could be unloading a couple to get some money in the Bank.
King and Brown likely candidates (presumably contracted)? :dontknow:
-
Is Brown even still with the club. King, who knows what the story is there. Our media dept hasn’t released anything on either player.
With us running such a small squad now would seem the time where SC reaches out for some outside investment to give IC a stronger hand to play.

I bet we could get a good deal on Marriott coming back these days. That subs bench tends to get cold after a while.
-
Now that we have a more attacking selection availability, I believe Marriott would be the icing on the cake, as the more chances any goal scorer gets in a game, the more he will score…… and we know he can score !
-
But he's not currently deemed good enough to start for Barnet, is he.
....and they're not Chesterfield or Notts County are they !
Personally think you are all living in the past.......just let it go....we have a different way of playing these days.
-
Marriott was awesome for us in NLN. However it would be interesting to see the stats on his goals to games ratio at Step 1 and higher.. Maybe step two was his true level
-
I am assuming squad are travelling down to Yeovil tonight, overnight stay and then straight back after match on Saturday
-
OK - friendly disagreement on Marriott…. But, at any level, if the team were good enough to get in the penalty area (they weren’t when he was last here), AM only needed the ball at his feet to sidestep a defender in less than a yard, and slot it home. Not fair to just look at his score record, if his team didn’t create chances. Disagreements don’t matter, because we all have the same ambitions for the club…..well, most of us do !…..
-
Last rant ! Meant to add that no Dilly team yet selectable, until new players known, but Gyasi must be in the team, imho. Rowley and him would be a handful. Jury out on Gold, at the moment….
-
Agree with Gyasi to start. The brief time that he and Morias were on the pitch Lynn looked dangerous going forward, although we now have to wait three games to see how that will work.

You keep disagreeing Dillmiester. It’s all about opinions. No right or wrong. Plus your view is no less valuable than anyone else’s.
You are right everyone on here wants a successful club. On and off the Pitch.
I see the old kit guy, Richard Simper is the new stadium caretaker
-
Should be ok for numbering seats then........at least up to the highest squad number :laughcry:
-
Great result on the road today. Really kick starts the season.
-
Agreed Mallard. Great result. And a big lesson. Attackers can defend, as numbers count. But defenders attack and don’t often score. If we only picked a positive and balanced team, we can do really well in this league. IC has collected well, now should be braver in selection. Gyasi made the difference. IMHO !!
-
A big "Lesson" ?......I am sure IC will be hot footing it to your door very soon Dilly for your next lecture
That's got to be a big confidence boost and nice that Coleman and Sundire scored.
Hopefully at least one of the front two will open their account on Monday.
I expect a very similar starting line up for Monday, with a similar modus operandi
-
Good result today and important to get the first points on the board. Yes, it WAS against 10 men for a large part of the match but you can only beat what's put in front of you and its the result that matters.
-
It was a very defence-heavy, safety-first line-up, but, all credit, we sounded (on Somerset radio) like we were the better team. But we struggled to score, because, although attackers can make up the numbers to keep them out, defenders can push them back, but not usually score. When we balanced it, and had as many attackers as needed to push them back, we defended through being up their end, and scored, through having attackers up there instead of defenders, !! Gyasi should have started, and hopefully will vs Chesterfield. Gyasi and Rowley can frighten the lives out of teams, plus Marriott, to stick’ em home !!! …..
NEXT !….. Football is a simple game…..
-
Dillmiester, sounds like you were there watching the game. Football
Is a simple game complicated by players. :laughcry:. We have to accept that there is more than one way to win a game. Not all teams can play like Man City in the Prem or Norwich in the Championship. Look at Chelsea tonight first half performance to 2nd half. They ended up with a hard earned point. By shutting Liverpool out
-
Change the record please Dilly......the key people in the two goals were Coleman (a big defensive midfielder....a concept you disagree with) , who headed in the first and Omotayo (who to you is a big "lunk"), who by all accounts had a good game and headed against the bar , with Nash Sundire turning in the rebound.
Gyasi has looked good when coming on........at a time when Lynn are still in the game and going for it and running against tiring defenders who have been running around for an hour.
He looks a talent and IC will use him well as the season progresses, I am sure.
-
Ps with Morias, Omotayo, Linton, Rowley and possibly King, have we really got room for Marriott....a player who wanted a fresh challenge away from The Walks.
History shows that it's rarely as good for a player, second time around...
-
As good AS HE WAS do we really want Marriott back? He left chasing the pot of gold in his pocket, happy to sit on the bench at Barnet filling his pocket. Turning into a bit of a journeyman. Move on at least its stopped the campaign to have Defty back :laughcry:
-
Marriott goals got us promoted not once, but twice. So we have a massive amount to thankful for with him. However that was at steps 3 then 2. I go back to what I said previously. Check his record at a higher level. Think he has a ratio of 1 goal every 6 games. So that’s something like 7 a season.
Time to move on from that one.
-
I agree , he would have been snapped up by a league 2 team but maybe age and ability was against him
