Linnets' Fans' Forum

I thought Gash wasn't considered for the job as he was unable to commit to Lynn's full time status.

Name to throw out there  Adam Hinshelwood. Check out his stats as a Manager

Genuine question.  What do people think Culverhouse do with this group of players that Rowe has assembled ?

I have to admit to having a blind spot where Cully is concerned. Still think the Football we enjoyed under him in the two promotion season was a bit special.

Feel the whole situation is a a real sad affair. Rowe certainly knows his Football and the expansive brand of Football was indeed a treat to watch at times.   How close he was to getting  it right we will never know.

Hard to believe it's all been chucked up in the air, for what ?

I wonder who people fancy as the next taxi off the rank?   I understand I'm in the running but sadly I won't be throwing my hat into the ring.  As the person suggesting it has backed enough wrong Horses over the past few years. I wouldn't want to be the next one 😂😂

Well the 'risk' Bal took has backfired spectacularly.  Does this bring into question his decision making in the eyes of the fans but also the owner.

First big appointment he has had to make and he's got it wrong, big time. The National coverage this now going to attract must have a negative effect on the Club and its business.

Eyes will be very much in Bal going forward.  Surely he realised this appointment had all the potential to go wrong yet he took that gamble.

Just read the Club statement. Is that really the best Club can come up with ? I think the least we should expect is some form of apology from Bal. or does he already feel his job is untenable ?

The thing is Walks some don't need to speculate. 

It seems old habits die hard. 

Not many Managers post match will mention the ref on the back of a victory by saying we got all the decisions off the ref today to get us that win.

It's about filtering out the BS most Managers will try and stick into the fans after a game. Some fans I guess want to believe it and need that.

One guy who give an honest appraisal of his team post match is Setch. He doesn't fanny around looking to blame this that or the other. When his gets beat he says it like it is.

Lot to be said for that

 Could we get AI to develop a game plan that turns draws into wins ??. 

Ever since I can remember when a team doesn't win then it always seems to land at the door of the ref.

However whether he/she is good, bad or indifferent they are not the ones failing to find the onion bag and not ones letting them in at the other end.

Managers/Coaches are quick to blame official in public yet refuse to blame any of their own players on an individual basis when we all know those players will be getting pelters in the changing room.

In Rowe's post match he basically said himself, the players the staff need to do better.  Of course they do.  We are 9th with a team who was meant to be up there challenging. 

Nine games in. Under achieving it feels to me, but think we are capable of so much more. Just seems we do not know when to stick and when to twist.  Hopefully Rowe gets that sorted

I think we are better than mid table but we are playing a 'brand' of Football that is classed as expansive going forward but leaves gaps to exploit going the other way.  When we don't kill teams off then we leave ourselves wide open for teams to nick something off us.

Rowe can blame the officials, pitch's, whatever. Ultimately he delivers the squad picks the team  and dictates the tactics.  I really don't think James Rowe would consider himself a mid table, step 2 Manager at this stage of his career.

Fine margins yet again.  Need to find away of killing teams off and not leaving the door open.  Drawing  to many games, throwing points away.  We have 13 points.  11 points is half way.  Think we are better than that but we need to get on a run otherwise it could be a season mid table mediocre.  Surely Rowe is better than that ? I'm sure he thinks he is but the proof of the pudding...

How about the word Grass.... Where does that change ? 😂

The great North - South divide.  Where is the divining line?  As far as Step 2 Football it  moves around quite a bit.  This year we have Oxford City and Bedford Town. Last year we had Needham Market as NLN clubs

Good to see JR getting his post match on nice and early tonight.  Nothing  like a win.

How about St Albans at home next ?

Great win on the road in the Cup that. When is the draw for the next round ?  I guess Chapman is cup tied so only one keeper in the squad.   Have a e not got any other keepers at the Club who could sit on the bench?  Just in case
