Think we have a few locally based players in the likes of Paul Jones and Kyle McFadden to name two. It’s great to have locally based players but only if they are good enough. Then again do the local boys get as well looked after as lads from away ?

Brings into question what the real goal is in terms of an academy. Also just another one of our Chairman’s ideals that for whatever reason don’t actually work. Or in a lot of cases never get off the Ground.
Summer Concert’s anyone ? Or perhaps a tie up in Gibraltar that’s going to put Kings Lynn on the map ? There are soooooo many others that never got beyond the infamous table. Not forgetting the big idea of January that was going to fill the gap in terms of funding.

That’s very sad. Thought he was going to be the first one to take the clear path away thats the Chairman’s vision to first team regular.

Don’t think any fan could dislike Adam Lakeland. Comes across as a likeable guy. As for relegation it would have been a given had the Club stuck with Mark Hughes. Let’s just remember who employed him and thought we could survive at Step 2 on a very much reduced budget. Valuable lesson there for the Chairman.
AL has put together his own squad this time and has been given all the advantages that Joe’s money will provide. Being given the title of the best Manager in this League, raised the bar amongst the fan base. So to see back to back home defeats doesn’t really fit that narrative. Especially when one was against local side Sports.
One of the key points for me, is the increase in the numbers coming through the gate. That says the fans are buying into Lakeland. Now he has to deliver to keep the faithful onside.

I would hope the squad of 20 are all step 2 players and could come in and do a job. I don’t see how squad players can be kept match sharp without getting game time either at Lynn, or out on loan.

I rate the guy. It was only SC biging him up as the top Manager in the League. We all know the Chairman’s words should always be taken with a pinch of salt. I seem to recall Cully, Widdler were at one time the greatest thing since sliced bread, that was until they left. He even made big claims about Clark and indeed Hughes.
Lakeland has big boots to fill at this level following on from both Cully and Widdler. If he gets us to the play offs then he’s had a good season. Mid table, then to my mind he’s done ok. Anything less, then oh dear !!
What do others think ?

Was only a week or so back AL was complaining about the heavy schedule. Maybe he is under strict instructions from above that a Cup run is imperative for the budget going forward. So cannot afford any mistakes.

We performed well enough at home to Warrington with Gold up top on his lonesome as Margetts was suspended. Gold notched twice that day I seem to recall

I feel the Media are very much behind the increase in numbers for home games. They have really put the Club on the front foot.
Will be interesting to see the gate for this Saturday’s FA Cup tie. Also AL saying he’s going with a full strength line up rather than get minutes into squad members. So much for a punishing schedule. The Manager can’t have it both ways.

Maybe after 8 games we should look to re-asses things.
Last season we were a bottom 6 team so is a step up to Play-offs to much of ask in one season? We could well end up a mid table team and anything higher is a bonus. For us to be challenging might need SC and in particular Joe to dig a lot deeper to get us up there challenging. We shouldn’t forget we are competing against some massive Clubs for this level. Scunny, Hereford, Chester Darlo to name just a few.
I’ve listened to AL’s post match. Ok the ref wasn’t what he would hope for but he didn’t deny us drawing a blank in terms of us finding the net. I must say i preferred the forthright and tell it how it is Adam of last season than the one this season where he seems to be scratching around looking for excuses as to why he feels we underperformed

On a positive note last season they beat us 4-0 at The Walks.

Maybe Julie ( being North based) does the away games ? I’m sure they must have an official there to deal with Match Day stuff

Who is the Secretary these days, still the lady based in the North ? I have little idea on who fills what Roles these days. Do we have a new H&S officer yet ? And did the overseas Commercial Director role ever get filled ?

Thanks WLM but seems strange that Clubs under the same umbrella are playing to different rules. Maybe some Clubs don’t have big enough dugouts to hold 7 subs plus all the backroom staff they seem to have these day
