Just watched AL's post match interview. Seemed quite defensive: blaming officials, injuries, travelling etc perhaps with some justification but players might feed off this and use it as an excuse for under performance and poor outcomes?

"It's not my fault" culture.

It's everywhere these days, not just football. Get it off my desk, onto someone else's so they can deal with it.

Officials. Do Managers, players and supporters ever not criticise officials? If they do compliment, it's very rare

Injuries. All teams go through this at sometime during the season. It's part of football. Were South Shields injury free?

Travelling. Have they stopped the overnight stays? If not, that shouldn't even come into it. It's a waste of Chairmans money if he has to pay for expensive overnight stays but the Manager and players still believe that travelling is an issue. Maybe they should consider stopping the overnight stays and put the money into additional players. Anyway, I didn't think AL had a problem with doing lots of miles.

Agree Rod, if players are looking for an excuse, they'll latch onto this. Not exactly what you would call motivational.

So Joe documented his journey in some detail to the discount hotel...and that's where the trail ended

Why didn't he buy a return ticket?

Why choose to  post a picture of just his train ticket and not the plane ticket? 

International man of mystery.

Well it's all a bit strange. Not sure whether others agree, but from my perspective one of the reasons the town doesn't buy into the club in a big way is the lack of clarity/transparency. What are the current aims of the club....what are its financial capabilities? Is there any point at all in finishing in a play off position. The gap which exists to the National League means promotion would probably require a whole new squad...can the club afford it ?. It's difficult to get too enthusiastic when there is no obvious plan or end result in mind.

Hey Joe, watcha doin' with that Club in your hand..................................

Just all seems very odd 

What, even for us?   

Lynn lose 2-0 at home to Farsley Celtic.

Att: 787.

Elsewhere, both Scunthorpe and Chorley lose on the road.

Seems like the long throw into the box is making sone thing of a comeback.  Rory Delap use to gain Stoke a good few goals with his under Pulis.  As a kid I remember the Chelsea No 10 Ian Hutchinson use to launch them into the box with his ‘windmill’ action.

Danny Beaumont was always capable of doing that. I always wondered why it was never utilised when he was in a Lynn shirt.

Lynn lose 2-1 away to Chorley.



Top of table Scunthorpe can only draw at home to lowly Radcliffe.

Yes but he lied about eating the sandwich

I'm always lying about eating the sandwiches.......and the chocolate, and the cake and the pork pies! 😋
