Have to say a point is acceptable,but 3 were there for the taking . A point a piece is probably a fair reflection.

Maybe it was imported with the mass exodus of people out of London ,jumping us out tier 2 into tier 4 in a week ?

Interesting theory. I would think that any that didn't follow the rules during the Pandemic, ignored social distancing, thought the rules didn't apply to them etc, all had their part to play in spreading the virus.

Or the daily commuters from Lynn to London bringing it back.

Would imagine most have been working from home

That’s nice for them, many off us have been to work as usual during the whole 10 months of this awful virus and will be going back again straight after the XMAS BREAK, indeed many have had to work through Xmas .

  This is not free money, even if it was for football, this money will have to be repaid in the future, maybe not by the sporting teams it's allocated to but the taxpayers will have to repay this money somewhere along the line. 

Right mixture of teams in 2nd round. Always a dilemma now at this stage if you could pick a side. One that's a lesser side on paper, and potential to really get into 3rd round and draw one of the heavyweights. Or take whoever, and if it's a League 1 side away, another chance to cause an upset.

P'Boro away for me ideal. Pompey home/away for the bigger side. Chorley/Marine/Canvey at home for the lesser tie.

  I have to say, with no crowds allowed, the tie is worth the same amount of money whether we draw a smaller team or indeed a so called bigger team. Bearing this in mind I would choose to hopefully draw a so called smaller team, hopefully allowing us a better chance of progressing and earning another payday in the next round, however nothing is given in this competition, you still have to turn up and beat what is out in front of you. COYL. 

DR65, 'proven' goalscorers at step 1 won't come cheap so not sure where the money would come from?

K80, of that list I didn't understand retaining Hawkins (2 starts this season at step 2 should tell its own story) and assume we offered Southwell a multi year deal which looked like desperation at the time and even more so now that we will be playing in step 1 next year - Halifax let him go for a reason.  I admit I was proved wrong with Henderson as I didn't think we could fit him into the starting 11 at step 2 but he and the other lads in midfield generally stepped up to allow him to continue to do what he did so well at step 3, whether that can apply in step 1, I have my doubts but happy to be proved wrong again.

Given that the model under IC has been quality over quantity, if Marriott does sign I think that may be it in terms of attacking options (I think IC thinks of Kelly as an attacker as much as a midfielder).  Still think right back and central midfield are more pressing areas.

Agreed strikers not cheap,however lots of opportunities to pick up players who have been league players and have not had their contract renewed,also if  or indeed when Marriot leaves the money he is paid will be spare. I believe players will be looking to sign contracts with clubs as they aswell as us realise the big money in the lower leagues is not there anymore.  Players realise they still need to earn as many will have young children but a contract on lower wages is better than no contract.

Jamar Loza has been signed by KLTFC, the old Norwich connection reemerging, welcome on board. Does this mean Adam Marriott has gone? Not the most prolific striker but been around our new level for a few seasons now.

A good signing. Not exactly a like for like for Marriott, but a good player.

It seems to have gone very quiet on the Marriott front at the moment, hopefully he stays and proves himself again at a higher level for KLTFC, but it is quite obvious we are his back up plan, however as Mr Cleeve stated a while ago, not all teams will play to his strengths and if he does leave he may well be a bit part player.
