Linnets' Fans' Forum

Mallard - do you rate Omotayo as a centre forward and how many goals would you expect our number 9 to score?
To date he has scored 2 goals, our right back has scored double that. Do you think that if Toll was fully fit and recalled from loan that he could play up front with both Omotayo and Gyasi.
Hopefully Omotayo can prove some people wrong and score the winner at Scunthorpe on Saturday, like he did at Doncaster.

Unless Marriott starts a game, we won't really know if he is of any real value to the squad. His fitness and pace levels weren't up to scratch at Boston and this far into the season would indicate similar. Omotayo as a number 9 centre forward just isn't good enough, so yes I agree with a couple of posts re their views. I like Gyasi, I think he is capable at this level, we do need someone else to play along side him. Not seen too much of Maja, so not sure on him.
Don't think there is a real rush to appoint a manager, it's much more important to get the right one. Tough game in the cup next week, but certainly no real pressure on our boys, remember Doncaster Rovers.
For me, I'm not overly fussed about the need for promotion, I'm very much enjoying the better style of football. Season ticket holder for the first time ever and I've been watching Lynn since the days of Mick Wright and Malcolm Lindsay, weren't they real class.
Good to see that Grace is back too.

The best team won, even after we went 1-0 up Scarborough showed their intent. I think we have to accept that we are very much a work in progress. Great free kick from Williams for his goal, he is areal talent, was surprised he didn't get the man if the match award. Good effort from our boys today, difficult conditions to play in and a very well organised opponent. Respect to the Scarborough fans, a long trip to support their team.

Great day out yesterday. Train there and back plus admission for just £20.80. Played very well and after going two up after just 12 minutes, we were in complete control. Was pleased to see Nyahwema start ahead of Omotayo, his pace and trickery was too much for the Royston defence. FA Cup games are never givens, so well done on going anout it in a professional manor.
Looking forward to tomorrows 4th Qualifyimg Roung draw, Spalding and Stamford are in it, one if those maybe.

Michael Gash could be a contender

Great win on the road in the Cup that. When is the draw for the next round ?  I guess Chapman is cup tied so only one keeper in the squad.   Have a e not got any other keepers at the Club who could sit on the bench?  Just in case

Gold Omotayo started as a goalkeeper I remember reading. Pleased he scored a couple today, great for his confidence. A very good win, looking forward to see who we get next, hopefully a home draw, Spalding maybe.

Have to respect JR's starting 11, personally, I would prefer Omotayo as a sub. He hasn't scored and for me doesn't offer enough elsewhere, we are a better team playing the ball on the ground rather than long balls that he doesn't win.
No complaints with the way Kidderminster broke the play up with time wasting, we would have done exactly the same thing. We played well and gave it our all, just couldn't unlock a well organised defence. No shame in losing tonight. Williams deserved his man if the match, he is some player.

Yes Mallard, Chorley will be favourites, as we were against Darlington I guess, but it doesn't always go that way. Imagine we would view a draw today as a good result. After watching both our home games, although we drew both, I feel we are good enough to win today and certainly shouldn't fear Chorley, or any team in this league, respect them yes of course. So impressed with Nyahwema, if he plays to his full potential he causes our opposing full backs (especially if he plays on the left I feel) so many problems.
For me this season it is more about enjoying the attacking style that James Rowe plays. I think with that results will be more favourable.

We played good attacking and entertaining football again. Compared to last season, that was very pleasing to watch. Had enough chances in the second half to win the game, but Darlington defended well when they needed to. Not at all disappointed in the result, we have a great team and a very good manager.

They gave Widdrington a two-year contract at the beginning of the month.
It might be expensive to get rid of him.

Not surprising they did  He won the F A Trophy last season

You should read their fans forum. They are not fans of either of them. Where is Arron Jones these days.

Another very good performance, sounded like we very much dominated the game. I said recently if we could take our chances we would be unplayable. Credit to James Rowe, he has amassed quite some squad. Looking forward to Saturday and hopefully a quick north east double. Well done you Linnets.

Fantastic win and performance. We have got quite some team and manager. Wasn't at Hereford, but listened to Hereford commentary. After watching last week, no real surprise of today's result. Well done Linnets 💙💛

Well Quinn, you were right, Mallard focused on mostly negative stuff.
Marriott isn't the player he was before, he barely got in the Boston side. A colleague of mine and Boston fan said he lacks pace and at 34, isn't at the age that JR seems to want.
I was at parkrun this morning, along with 3 Telford fans. I said to them, we create lots if chances but don't take them. When we get better at doing that, we will be unplayable.

Excellent performance, missed too many chances, but very entertaining football. Nyahwema looked very classy and deserved his man of the match award. Gyasi and Fleming also impressed.
Not disappointed in the draw, as we probably should have won, but a super performance. Credit to James Rowe, it's going to be a good season judging from today's showing.

Gate: 1200 - holiday season, but there has been a lot of promotion on social media - so hoping for more
Result: 5-0 - I'm expecting a very attacking team right from the start and wouldn't be shocked if we're 4 up by halftime.

I think 5-0 is very optimistic, or just your wishful thinking Spiv. Somewhat disrespectful towards Telford too. They won promotion through the playoffs, which is no mean feat and are currently on an 18 competitive game unbeaten run.
I think we will create lots if chances, we just need to score from them. I said earlier between 1500 - 1800. Anything less than 1300 would be disappointing. Score prediction 2-2, we didn't keep a clean sheet in any of our pre season games and thought we looked vulnerable against Spalding.
Looking forward to the new era. Win, draw or lose, we all need to stick together and enjoy the fact that we have a football team to support.
