Linnets' Fans' Forum

Small transport company suffering damage like this to a brand new vehicle. Have to feel for them. Sounds like it was a good thing Lynn lost.

Always seems to be off the field issues in Football.  Racism still raising  its ugly head. Now vandalism.  They must have waited around after the game to carry this out as the team coach won't have left straight after the game.

Tuesday at home to Kiddie.   Maybe JR will set up differently with Jonah between the sticks.

He certainly likes to put a positive spin on things even a 4-0 defeat.  Plus he does like to lay it in a bit thick with 'it's the officials fault'.   He does tend to get the attention of the officials with his theatricals on the touchline.  Then again so did a certain Steve Evans.  Not sure if it does the team or indeed the Club any favour's. Not to mention his blood pressure.

Think he'll call it for what it is.  Poor day with lack of discipline. 
The Chorley Manager's interview was interesting.  He didn't think they were at their best.  Bit leggy after Saturday.  Gave Lynn Credit for making a decent fist of it at 1-0 and down to 10 men.
The 2nd sending off sealed the game.

He also went onto say Lynn players were well fired up from the off.

Uptoon you have shocked me that you know people who would actually pay money to watch Lynn in the hope they get beat.


Maybe now the Trust are fully engaged at the Club then all supporters attending will be fully behind the project. I have to say in the two opening games at the Walks it's been very upbeat, despite not having won a game yet.

Let's not all get carried away with this result today.  Not a bad day at the office an awful.  It happens. 

We have seen enough with this team that we are all about attack. Going down to 10 and then 9 will always be an issue. 

Positives are despite a 4-0 drubbing we only drop from 7th to 8th.  Plus Rowe will fire these players up for next Saturday so look out Merthyr, you could be on the receiving end of a wounded animal.

Rowe hasn't gone from JR to a J Arthur overnight,

Two unbeaten teams going head to head. Chorley have made a great start to the season. Chorley had a 4-1 win at Hereford Saturday.  Have to think  Chorley will be favourites to take all 3 points in this one.  However with Lynn's impressive away form thus far we might nick something.

Heart telling me a draw head saying a narrow home win

Think it's about finding the right balance in midfield.  Teams seem to get onto our back 3 to easy. Not sure we need an out and out hit merchant but maybe someone with a physical presence.  Not sure Clunan  is the same player who left us  2/3 years back for Scunny.  We have a lot of young legs now who seem to want to play at a high tempo.

Still it's early doors.  JR must see a lot in Michael to have given him the armband

Faye the highlights have been on a while. I didn't think Clunan was fouled at the time and having watched  it again I still can't eee there is much in it.  More he got physically outmuscled. Can't say I've been that impressed with Clunan thus far. 

For the Darlo goal if Clunan doesn't allow himself to get pinned  and/or  Chadwick has not drifted 15 years off his line then Darlo don't score.

See us lose ?  You mean there are people who will pay up to 20 quid to watch us lose ?   We should also remember.  There are also 400 plus season ticket holders in that figure. Matters not if they attend or not. Plus there were people who would NOT come while SC still owned the Club.  The Clubs media team are also really on their A game in promoting the Club. 

What was the average when Culverhouse got us promoted from this League to the National League ?

Maj... you make some valid points.  However with regard to the strength of the squad.  Yesterday Hall-Johnson and Marriot both out injured.  Ford Brown didn't make the match day squad.   Collins is a real find and did ok when he came on and he scored within 5 mins. Lambert is decent as well.  So I really fail to see why you think there isn't the strength behind the starting 11.   Jonah is also great keeper for this level to step in.

Just had a listen to JR's post match interview.  Have to take issue with him blaming the ref for the dropping of two
Points. .  It wasn't the ref  loading  in poor final balls into the box and missing the chances created.  Thought the ref was ok, not great not not bad. Probably take charge of a game at his level. 

Maj..no problem.   The two players you mention.  Great talented individuals but Saturday MG seemed to lack vision in and around him.  Typified by the lack awareness of Crane clear through on goal to his right, yet choice to shoot.  Crane was quite right furious with him.

JN, now what a talented boy but it needs harnessing into the team to make him and all round better player.  He had his full back on toast and done him down the outside in numerous occasions.  Problem was there was little to no end result.

On players from the bench I think we have a much deeper, talented squad.  Half time we took off a defender to throw another attacking midfield player on.  Within 5 minutes of the re-start we were level. Maja did ok when he came on just needs to get fitter.

As for Gold.  He really is a marmite character.  He was a real handful for Darlo.  Ok he's not now great with his feet but as a presence, he takes some stopping. The thing is if he had everything he would not be playing at step 2 Non League Football.  We can moan about what he can't do, but look at the positives on what he brings to the team.

The start has been ok. 2 wins 2 draws. Think many would have taken that before a ball was kicked.  It's also very much a work in progress project.  No one can say it's not entertaining, if at sometimes frustrating.

You also mention the crowd.  I really thought there would be more for our 2nd home game.  Very much on par from home support to the first game.  On the back of two great away performances and on the promise of front foot attacking Football, I felt it would be 1600 plus.  Maybe around 1400 is the full potential ?

Neither this week.  Didn't  fancy a burger and the Pizza's were awol. I guess people didn't buy into that idea. I did have a Gregg's sausage roll at the break though to keep me going. 

Not sure you can lie all the blame at Chadwick's door.  He's being told to play that way, presumably not doing it off of his own back.  Plus remember Clunan was left as last man and was outmuscled and lost the aerial battle to leave the Darlo player the job of lobbing the keeper.

Defo this squad is very much work in progress.  The more I see of Williams the more I like.  Can add Dickens into that category now as well.
