General Discussion / Sat Gloucester away
« on: October 27, 2022, 08:44:14 AM »
How do we see this one playing out ?

Gloucester seem to be a free scoring as ourselves at home having notched 16 goals on their home patch.   However they have been turned over twice there.

Will TW go for the same starting 11 or ‘release’ Gold into the game after having him sat on the bench for two games ?

With Tommy you can never tell what line up he will go with.  Maybe a surprise or two in the starting 11.

I’m going for a decent point with a 2-2 result

General Discussion / New signing ?
« on: October 23, 2022, 10:30:29 AM »
On yesterday post match interview TW speaks about 3 players who have gone out on loan and indicates this has freed up the budget to bring one in.  ( 3 for 1. Must be a stellar signing).  So where do we need strengthening ?

Maybe a Gold back-up or player to challenge Scott for the left sided position.

Thoughts ?

General Discussion / The little matter of Darlo at home
« on: October 20, 2022, 09:29:08 AM »
Amongst all this FA Cup fever we have the little matter of 1st v 2nd at The Walks in a little over 48 hours.   

Darlington under  Alan Armstrong are making a strong push for promotion this season.   So let’s hope for a big crowd and the right result for Lynn.   I do wonder what formation/line up TW will go with.  Seems now we have more than one string to our bow.   I have a feeling he will go for the very attack minded line up that will include Barrett, Stephens and Pot-a-Jelly. 

2-2 in front of 2k for me

General Discussion / Physio Carol Holland

Strong rumour has it that Carol has left us to link back up with Ian Culverhouse at Boston.

Sorry to hear this if it is confirmed

General Discussion / Chorley at home Saturday
« on: October 04, 2022, 06:15:05 PM »
Maybe a better team that their current League position suggests.

Unbeaten at home, 1 win with 5 draws.  On the road two wins and two loses.  One of the wins was 4-1 at Boston.

As for Lynn maybe a tricky one to try and 2nd guess which way TW will go.  The opposition must be scratching their head trying to work it out.

Will he stick with the three strikers while also fitting Barrett  or revert back to the formula that has seen us achieve top spot in the League ?

I’m going for a 2-1 home win.  Gate ?  888

General Discussion / FA Cup

What time today is the draw ?  Think I heard it is live on Talksport.

Now do we fancy ?, Anstey Nomads would do us

General Discussion / Stephen Cleeve Podcast
« on: September 30, 2022, 11:19:13 AM »
The chairman has finally put up a new podcast after 6 months. 

Guest is the Gateshead Chairman who comes across very well in the interview and gives a good insight into the runnings of a Club of that size.  Average gate of 900 when winning the NLN last season.  Said it cost 7 figures to run a club like theirs.   They have a Supporters Trust who own 25% of the Club along with 4 other main shareholders.  Each have to pay their way and make up the shortfall, each season.

SC also stated he was now looking for outside investment and was in talks with various people both home and abroad.  We can’t keep punching above our weight with low crowds and we need more through the gate.

Plenty of other snippets in the Podcast.  Give it a listen

Interesting developments there with their Manager resigning.

General Discussion / Curzon Ashton away Saturday
« on: September 21, 2022, 06:07:23 PM »
This looks another winnable game to keep Tommy and the boys unbeaten run going. 

Tommy saying he has selection problems but nice problems to have.

What system will he go with ?    McFadden or Denton at the back.  If McFadden then Denton or Scott on the left ?
Midfield does he bring back Clunan after illness or stick with Barrett ?  Up top who does he pair with Gold ?

All in all a nice few problems to address for Tommy.

I’d take a 1-1 draw on the road to keep the run going.

General Discussion / Live Streaming
« on: September 18, 2022, 09:05:50 AM »
Live streaming is coming to the National League for the 2nd half of this season.  Seems like it will be all Saturday games in the National League.  North and South will be phased in.   All 72 Clubs will benefit for funds coming from the one pot of money with the breakdown spilt to be decided.


Thoughts anyone ?

General Discussion / Bedford at home FA Cup (Setch’s return)
« on: September 15, 2022, 08:24:45 AM »
Must be some interesting thoughts from people on this one.

Just listened to Setch’s thoughts on the game.

1.  Happy cos it’s only 10 mins from his home to the ground.
2.  Free hit for Bedford.
3.  Need to keep the crowd quiet early doors, as if Lynn get one early the crowd will be well up for it and could be a tough afternoon.
4.  If Bedford can stay in the game Lynn fans will turn on the team which will help Bedford.
5. Expecting a few comments, songs etc mentioning pies.
6.  Four figure gate.
7.  Very complimentary about the quality of the Lynn team and Manager

Get the feeling he is well up for it.

General Discussion / Alfreton Tuesday night
« on: September 12, 2022, 12:50:28 PM »
Love a Tuesday nighter under lights.   Alfreton are always a tough nut to crack but somehow we seem to manage it.

Going for 2-1 win with 940 there.

General Discussion / Buxton at home
« on: September 08, 2022, 06:39:20 AM »
Another very winnable one this.   Plus expect the crowd numbers to keep building.

I do wonder what effect Last Saturday’s 2nd half will have on the players, and indeed TW.  Will he look to change things from a defensive point of view.  Shipping 3 goals must have made him sit up and think at least.

I’m going for a 3-1 win in front of 1050 fans.  With maybe a couple of changes to the line up.

Hopefully we will be hearing Tommy’s through later today as not anything from him for 10 days

General Discussion / Chester away
« on: September 01, 2022, 02:07:47 PM »
Yet another big test on the Road Saturday.

Will TW go with the team that started on Monday or the team that started the 2nd half.?

Then again can Tommy afford to not start with Barrett.  Nice problems to have.  Factor in maybe Scott back available and McFadden inching his way back into the squad.

I’d take a draw.  So going with 1-1

General Discussion / AFC Telford away
« on: August 18, 2022, 08:07:28 AM »
Games come thick and fast.  Back on the Road Saturday.   Will TW go with the side that started Tuesday night or bring in Barrett and hope to get 60 mins out of him.  I guess it will depend on if he fancies going with a flat back 4, away from home.

Can see us sneaking this 2-1 to keep the 100% record intact.  Hopefully we are injury free.
