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.

Do we know if the Ref put in a report to the FA about the alleged Racism incident?

Doesn't Chadwick's suspension start on Monday?

I did wonder about that. I think you may be correct.

Line up for next game after Saturdays?   

More time to get a loanee in if JR thinks it's needed.

Stephen Cleeve is no longer a Person with Significant Control (PSC) at the Club.

Bal Srai is now registered as a PSC at the Club. I can't see Jo mentioned there, which I understand he should be.

This doesn't mean that the takeover is complete but a Trust Director has apparently said previously that Bal was waiting for everything to go through before registering as a PSC.

Presumably a straight swap with Jones for Chadwick on Saturday?

I can't see Jones playing in the same style as Chadwick, so could that mean a change of Personnel with a loan playing coming in who's capable of playing more to JR's preferred style of play?

:scarf:Isn't it strange last seasons goalkeeper who was glued to the goal line was criticised for that style of play, now a more mobile goalie is criticised for that style of play. On Saturday that striker free on goal would  have probably scored against most goalies it wasn't LC's fault. I haven't seen highlights from Mondays debacle so cannot comment on that.
My feeling is that LC is the new style of goalie like it or hate it.This allows a team to build attacks quicker and it gives an extra defender when necessary. Just watch the matches on the Television.

I would guess that he's been instructed to play that way, so it's a shame that he takes the blame if they get caught out.

J R's usual post match interview could be an interesting one.

His post match interviews wind me up!!

I think he's a talented manager and I'm certainly enjoying watching us this season, but his interviews after matches come across as a bit baffling and always commenting on the officials.

Maybe he's too emotional and needs longer to process the match rather than have a microphone in his face within an hour of the final whistle??

Maybe Bal will have a quiet word with his employee.

I presume its the Club that will be picking up all these fines, and not the individuals?

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

Really? 😅

4-0 something wrong somewhere....but where.

With the amount of bookings and sending offs today, even without being at the game or seeing the highlights, discipline surely must be questioned today.

A very disappointing away day for the Linnets.

Chorley 4 v 0 Linnets.

Maja sent off after only 2 minutes, with goalkeeper Chadwick following in the 51st minute.

Williams, Clunan, Wilson, Collins and Crane Lynn players booked.

Manager Rowe received his 2nd booking in 5 games (according to Lynn Twitter feedback).


One to forget and move on to the next game.

Tennylad you should try and get a word with JR at next home game and tell him your thoughts and advise him. I would pay extra to see that   

Why?

... and if Main had not shoved Clunan in the back.... things may have also been different.
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.

Sorry, but I really can't see that picture proves there was any push in the back on Clunan.

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 ?

I wouldn't disagree with that. I would have expected the gate to go over the 1500 for this one.

1400 is still very good though, and obviously came about by a combination of travelling Darlo fans (circa 200?) and the expectations after the 5-0 trashing dished out on Tuesday night.

Under the Cleeve era the gate for the corresponding fixture last season was only 874!!!

The result was a bit better though as we came out 2-1 winners with goals by Hughes and Crane (Sat 05 Oct).

It will be interesting to see what size the gates are as the season progress's. Even with the new found joy, and the promise of a title chasing season I would still be surprised if the average gate tops 1400, which apparently is the target figure.
