Paul, i am not qualified to comment specifically on where he can improve his game. Though logically given he is still only 21 and has risen to every challenge thus far, i would imagine that as Fletcher continues to gain experience that should translate positively into his all round game, provided that he has the capacity and hunger to improve? I think at present he is in the right place, continuing to benefit from Setch's coaching and playing experience. One other element is confidence: Corby have boosted that and having secured a play off place, he could be playing at step 3 next season. The only real blip in his career to date followed his 'trial' with us which dented his self confidence but perhaps also strengthened his resolve to prove KLTFC wrong. Time will tell.

Watched the highlights of a recent game can’t say he impressed me, yes he scored but didn’t look like he would cope at level 2 without a lot of help
Glad someone else said it. Watched him for Heacham & Downham. Yes he scores goals but needs a better all round game to make it at NLN (or higher level).....but hope I'm proved wrong and he has a good full time football career.
You may well prove to be correct in your assessment of Fletcher's all round ability? However the fact that natural goal scorers at every level are 'gold dust', added to which he has scored regularly as he has progressed up the pyramid: this season 30 so far at step 4 for the first time, is it not possible that at the age of 21 with the right coaching that he might progress further?

1. 2000+ 2. I have absolutely no idea but however much well meaning and generous SUPPORTERS donate it will just be yet another 'sticking plaster.'

Scored again today, his 21st birthday. That's 29 for the season.

I have never read such doom and gloom in my life I believe some on here need to spit on their hands and get a fresh hold
Perhaps it all comes down to whether or not you believe 'the end justifies the means.' Some believe it does, some others do not?

Social media facilitates an environment that encourages keyboard warriers to make comments online that they would think twice about saying 'face to face'.

Credit where its due: an excellent three points. I can only base my view on results and comment as i no longer go to matches but are the tactics and the way the team is set up better suited to away than home games?

With David newton he has a track record of being a successful businessman and you can see and know what his business is and where his wealth comes from and what he's done over the years to get where he is now.He also took on a club that was on its knees after all the problems and fall out they had when Steve Evans was there.It must be nice to have a Chairman where you can actually see and check the facts
In a word, transparency?!

They got David Newton we got Stephen Cleeve.
Agreed, but the difference is they inform their fans what is being planned and happening behind the scenes. The fans over there feel connected to the club.
A community club that truly values its SUPPORTERS.

Interesting comments Tony. If there is no Jo next season and no other outside investment coming into the Club then maybe part time will be the natural outcome. We were discussing this on the way home tonight. As a part time Club who would the fans want in as Manager?
A. Jimmy Dean B. Michael Gash C. Gary Setchell. All 3 hare enjoying reasonably successful years at varying levels.
Who would Lynn fans go for ?
If those were the only choices (god help us) it would have to be Gash (with Luke Steele).
Need more than God to help us! 
I thought that 'God' was running the club

One or two seem to think if we had local players its a dead cert we would be back in the UCL. Well I think we could have a good mix of both, local and semi pro, look at the good local talent we have let go on the cheap, players like Joe Taylor, who scored for Huddersfield yesterday, comes to mind. The biggest disapointment is that we are a full time club, and i for one have yet to see any benefit. As for the manager, well sorry he is nowhere the best in the league, as has been said we seem to set up not to lose, which doesnt work, two good attacking wide players on the bench? Ive seen enough this season. The club needs a clear out from top to bottom.
Just one point here that I believe to be important.
It's not Lakeland that claims he's the best Manager in the League. I've never actually seen anything where he has ever said that.
I think it was 'the best club owner' in the league who made that statement?

I am only surprised that has taken quite a while for some to come to the conclusion that our club has become disconnected from many of its most loyal and long term supporters. As i have stated on numerous occasions, those that control the club do not understand the difference between a supporter and a customer. We have become a club that has 'lost its soul'. I still follow from a distance and much miss match day at the Walks but have no intention of returning under the present regime.
