I think we need a proven manager, rather than a rookie
Josh Coulson could well do a good job, but I feel it's a bigger risk taking him as manager as opposed to someone who knows the division / lower leagues.

It was always going to be a tall order to win the playoffs. We would have needed to outscore 3 very good teams, away too.
But, if we'd have beaten Chester, we would have had home advantage - albeit only for the Chorley match, but a win vs Chester, then Chorley, get some confidence going and who knows..... That Chester defeat - well, the manner of it, doesn't sit well with me. But, it's all done now - overall a better season than the previous one, but after hovering around the top for a good chunk of the season, I can't help but feel disappointed

I question his long term commitment and wouldn't be surprised at any point if he jacked it in.
In all fairness it's some commute for him and Walker if they do it on a daily basis - or a lot of time away from their families if they stay down here during the week.
The "facts" in his interview, as you state aren't all exactly true!!
If we don't go up this season, what are peoples thoughts - do you think Lakeland will be here next season??

Okay, ay the start of the season, if we were offered a 6th place finish, we would all have accepted it, gleefully.
However a 6th placed finish after occupying 5th place before kick off is disappointing.
I don't think the boo's were warranted, but today was extremely poor - to have given ourselves the opportunity of a home tie in the play offs, but throw it away is shocking.
The "happy clappers" will always be that, they'd be content just turning up at The Walks to watch the grass grow - but anyone with any ambition will know that today wasn't good enough.
Do you think Cleeve, Lakeland, Sam Walker, Josh Coulson, Hmami, etc. will be sitting ay home tonight "happy" just because we reached the play offs???
We as fans (customers or whatever - today isn't the time for that debate) shouldn't be happy either
We got lucky today - simple as that = that Curzon and Hereford didn't both win, otherwise there'd be no more matches this season.
It was in our hands and we let it slip

I still think we need to be careful.
Yes, Chester may well rest some of their players.......all that means is they will have others come into their team trying to prove a point, trying to force their way into the first team selection for the play offs.
Deep down, I think we'll be fine......but we need to be careful - lets hope Lynn try to win the match

Try and win it.
Other teams will be trying to win their matches so if we try to be clever it could bite us on the backside and we end up missing out - or finish 7th which then means a trip to Chester on Wednesday.
Try and win, finish 5th and get a home tie - if we lose and Chorley, Hereford & Curzon win, then we'll miss out as our goal difference is far inferior to those three teams.

Great result.........but, what a poor game of football it was!!
Credit to Needham for achieving what they have, but the set up isn't really for this level of football.
The crowd - I think there were more Lynn fans than Needham fans there today.
But, football is a results business regardless of the performance - 4 more scrappy 1-0 wins and we're in the National League and I think we'd have all taken that scenario at the start of the season

It wasn't the fact it was hard to buy, I just thought it was a palava having to register on their website to buy a ticket, knowing I'll probably never use their website ever again!!
What I thought would have happened is Needham give Lynn an allocation and we buy them from our own website

What a palava
Create an account just to buy one ticket
Anyone bought theirs yet from Needham's website??

To be fair, Radcliffe played very well in the first half, I thought they were one of the better teams I'd seen at The Walks this season and I thought their position on the league was false.
Don't want to criticise players but I do think their goal was soft and Jones could and should have done better
We looked devoid of ideas
Finally, I'm not sure I agree with the booing, but as paying fans/customers, we are entitled to our opinions.
I'm not a fan of happy clappers who defend the team regardless in a blind loyalty manner - sometimes you have to just call a spade a digging implement
Onwards and upwards.......but it wasn't great today

A fine performance all round, by everyone.
Cody Johnson looks a coup, Tommy Hughes is a real tidy footballer, who as Adam Lakeland said in his interview, with a full pre-season behind him should reap the rewards.
But they all played well and could have had more goals today.
Which brings me onto my one gripe - and again, the boss wasn't happy either - that stupid penalty by Gold.......I can't swaer on this forum, so lets just say it was rubbish........really rubbish, including a rubbish run up.
By all means try that when we're 4-0 up, don't try it when there's only one goal in it!!
Again, as Lakeland said, that miss then affected him a few minutes later when he had a one on one with the keeper and he fluffed his lines.
But, he'll get 20 plus goals this season, so I shouldn't be too harsh.
One other "gripe" - why weren't the away fans in the corner??
I didn't like them having the whole end behind the goal

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
A message emblazoned on walls at Manchester City, but surely applies to all levels of football

I've just completed the survey and as already said, some interesting questions.
I think the point of wanting success as mentioned on here is a valid statement.
I also think that when you are a fan of a team, it can cause irrational thinking/behaviour to how you would normally react in another situation.
We're a funny breed, us football fans!!

Big game.
They are out of sorts, we're in great form.
I'm venturing down there for the match - I take it you can pay on the gate??
Hopefully a decent Linnets turnout to cheer the boys on
