Aside from his managerial abilities, Adam's commitment and stamina are beyond question, as according to Mr Cleeve he is up at 4.00 am most mornings to drive down to Ely.

  in reality we need to win these home games, top teams win at home at a canter and pick up points on the road at regular intervals. We seem capable of picking up those points on our travels so far, the return for away games, I would say has been acceptable, even though we really have not faced up against any top teams except one possibly. If indeed we are serious about trying for promotion via play offs or indeed winning this league home wins are vital for more than one reason, obviously points needed top maintain a challenge, we all know Lynn fans are fickle and 11=1300 is a really good turnout for a home match, I know people will argue we can pull in more fans and yes we can occasionally but a genuine core is the stated figure in my opinion. We need this number week in week out and two home defeats and some fans will start looking at costs and value for money and start looking whether we can really get in to a promotion challenging position. AL has had good backing from the football club since he has been here and he now has HIS squad of players, not ones he inherited and we really need to be seeing home wins to keep the fickle fans entering through those turnstiles and two defeats on the trot at home does not help. Full time professional team, we need to address these concerns and start picking up those home wins as soon as possible. Early doors as yet I know but points on the board are always welcome.
"We all know Lynn fans are fickle?" Really? Are we / they more fickle than the majority of football fans? If so why? Maybe the grossly inflated pay on the day admission price is a factor - particularly the concession price. If that is the case i am now one of the ' fickle', as i refuse to support this vanity project that treats supporters (customers) as a necessary evil. More a case of can pay but won't pay!
From the EDP article:
"...............all this effort culminates in a 90-minute game................"
Exactly why Supporters should not be treated like customers! The precious 90 minutes, whereas its obviously the most important of the week, is generally the only time the Club engages with the supporters.
Although the Media coverage is far better than it ever has been under the current regime, its only one small part of it. It can't just stop there.
Supporter involvement has been poor since Club was reformed. Even the previous Club, with all the errors they made, appear to have had more idea than the past and present Chairman on this matter.
The best its ever been was when there was a Management Committee for the supporters which was allowed to get involved with the Club. Totally independent officials and not have them appointed by the Club (or by other Officials that had been appointed by the Club). The work and effort that the likes of Chilly and all the others used to put in was incredible, and the Club benefited both financially and socially. The funds raised meant they were in a position to fully pay a players wages if they had wanted to (maybe more than one)!!! That's a lot of money and would be a great help to any Club! All this has now gone.....................why? An income stream lost and not replaced. I can't understand the logic in that one.
The important thing to remember is that the 90 minutes mentioned, is how the majority supporters see the Club. That's really all the engagement they get. Call them Fickle or 90 minutes Supporters or both. How a Club can move forward with this model, I don't really know. Surely its obvious that supporters need to be involved more than just 90 minutes a week?
As an example, People continually mention Darlington. Should we believe that all their supporters do, (apart from raising 100's of thousands of pounds) is watch 90 minutes of football each week?
I think not.
Game, set and match!!!
Just one element of the great British rip off. Such a shame that our esteemed owner is not running a German non league club!

Gold is just not good enough
Good enough or not, I bet he didn't come cheap!

Cautious Kings Lynn are oh so easy for a growing number of teams to work out and beat.Also the fitness advantage between full time and part time appears to zero.
I'll bet there is also quite a difference in the playing budgets?

On a positive note last season they beat us 4-0 at The Walks.
Nobody can claim that today's result is not an improvement!
The manager in his post match interview, although frustrated seemed to think that we are improving as we shipped two goals less than last season.

On the score sheet again with a penalty in a 3-2 away win.

Think it was a one off Rod as Setch was struggling for a keeper yesterday and called in a favour. Pedro must have quit or got the sack as Wisbech Manager.
Mallard, Setch indicated in his post match interview that this was a temporary arrangement. As you also mention, he is no longer manager of Wisbech - see the original post on this thread.

Pedro back playing for Setch. In goal yesterday in Corby's 2-0 win over Worcester, who had a 100% record. Fletcher Toll. scored again. Corby now seven points clear at the top.

Hasn't football become incredibly complicated? I wonder how many players nowadays go onto the pitch somewhat confused and then become even more so if and when plan A isn't working?

When it comes to comparing Sports and Lynn, the fact that the Sports players also have to hold down full time jobs appear to have been missed.
Like non league football used to be.
