Really pleased for Omotoyo today. I didn’t rate him last season, but TW obviously believes he is good enough, so we have to trust his judgement. Bradford PA are the bookies rank outsiders to win the NLN, the whether that turns out to be justified, only time will tell.
There are several positives to take from today, a win, away from home, on a plastic pitch, clean sheet, Omotoyo scoring (great confidence booster for him). I’m sure he believes in his own ability, so hopefully todays goal was his first of many.
Well done to all the team and TW. Looking forward to our home game v Blyth.

Yes, most of the home games. Not having someone who could score certainly didn’t help. I would have liked to have seen Joe Taylor given a few games, we needed someone who new how to score, because Omotoyo was pretty woeful.
I thought some of the football played under IC wasn’t that bad, but without any real goal threat, it was inevitable we would struggle. TW came in and if you watch his first interview again, he says about only needing to go up two places. In all honesty we never got even close, even if there was the remotest glamour of hope as Aldershot went on a losing streak.
Why do you think Tommy never brought in a striker, did he really think it wasn’t needed. There is no doubting Tommy’s passion and this season it will completely his team, so hopefully he does well. I’m looking forward to the new season and watching my team, who will hopefully be at the top end of the league, unlike last season.

TW didn’t impress me last season, but he can have no excuses this season, although saying that, the pitch looks far from ideal. I’m pleased he has brought in two forwards, only time will tell how good they are. Jordan from Wrexham, you would assume should be good at this level.
People say the north is a physical league, is it any different to the south?, I doubt it. Previous comment said, any relegated side would be looking to be in the play offs. To get there in the first place we had some good fortune in regard to when the NLN was stopped for covid, as our form was very poor. We also had Marriott and Gash scoring regularly.
Apparently, we have got two opening games that we ‘should win’. Umm, Bradford Park Avenue, remember what happened the last time we played them. They were bottom, we were top and we lost 1-0 at home. Staying full time, should give us an advantage, hopefully we can make that count.
Maybe TW should take 10 games at a time to see where we are, it worked to good effect for IC. If we can get off to a good start, that would be great, but it’s a long season.
Expectations - there will be some good teams, not least Boston United. Top third is my expectation.

I agree with you Mallard, IC was a great manager, in my opinion better than TW. I preferred Ian’s passing game, I also think he had better contacts. We have a lot to be thankful to him for.
Managers come and go, I believe TW referred to being custodians for a while. While Tommy is here we must back him and his judgement. I’ve said on another post that I don’t think he overly impressed, but the new season will determine just how good he is. I think a play off place would be good.

No, I would go back to part time. Whatever the benefits there are of being full time they didn’t  stop us from getting relegated, barring a miracle. The cost of being full time is huge and our gates (Lynn fans) isn’t enough. I don’t know what sort of contracts the platers are on as regard full time football, or maybe that was dependant on staying in the National League.
Next season should be about consolidating, any thoughts of an immediate return can be forgotten. The team will need to be rebuilt and the fans need to be patient.

Granted, IC didn’t bring in a forward. TW came in and could knew scoring goals was a problem. He signed, I believe 8 players, but not a goal scorer. Recently, we’ve been playing some good football, but without scoring, or posing much of a real threat. Had we signed someone in January, maybe we would be above Aldershot now. Anyway, we are where we are and although getting relegated will be disappointing, it’s not the end of the world. If TW is here for the start of next season, then I wish him well.

As for Paget Rangers, I’m not sure, but December 23rd rings a bell. Seem to remember it was Christmas time, can’t remember the year. I remember the kit, I had a Lynn shirt, which I had McNamara printed on the back. Was the year 1995? They were a good forward painting, also remover Martin Coupe and Kevin Ready, they knew how to score.

Well done to Setch and Bedford. Culverhouse was a class manager with good contacts, not impressed with Widdrington. Not bringing a forward in has contributed to us getting relegated. It amuses me how he goes on about our opponents are really league clubs, maybe once upon a time, but not at present. Cleave has done well for the club, but there isn’t enough paying fans to sustain National League football at full time level.
Getting relegated is part of football, hopefully we can get to this level again and do things a bit better.
