Pretty much a re-hash of the post match interview. If Margetts was fully fit it appears Cybulski would have gone out on loan. That says something to me........Margetts, Omotayo and Cybulski are the only forwards we have I believe? Can't see for example, JC or Jonny or Gold being loaned out to get match time if they were working their way back after injury.

It's a conundrum for sure. At step 2 the gap down to the old reserve set up was always too big Hopefully the academy can do the job . If Fleetwood two leagues up from Lynn have a number in their academy that are useful at NLN or higher, then hopefully the Lynn academy can get the odd one through at least.

Shooting from the hip there pink.Who's bullets are they ?
 only fire my own H K. ! Just something that I feel may have been missed by some. We do after all have a good quality manager and AM, and they are both northern based. We are in a tough northern league and we often hear terms like northern grit. Nothing wrong with that at all, but it's only natural for fans to have a greater affinity with someone who comes from the area or move and settle here as Wright and Lindsay did. It may not be possible to have many in the squad, but if you could get one or two it makes a big difference to how fans buy into things.We have Finlay, who I believe has local connections....similar to Aaron Jones and Kevin Ready I guess. When a local lad does appear who could make the grade, it's important to see the whole package that that brings to the club and the fans. The key is , I guess, nurturing and persevering with the local talent to hopefully get it up to step 2 standard....there is no doubt that Lynn fans get behind a local lad.

One key thing that I feel has been missed under the current Chairman's reign is the importance of a few local lads in the squad, that the Lynn faithful can relate to as one of their own.......looking back at times when there was a greater sense of community within the club, there was always at least one or two....Richard Johnston,Keith Rudd,Freddie Easthall, Mark Howard,Kevin Ready,Clive Adams, Neil Fryatt etc etc. Developing some local players through the academy and getting them playing in the eleven not only builds the link to the town, it also puts a few hundred on the gate. It's why it such a shame when local talent is missed or not nurtured and the likes of Sports or Corby or much bigger fish (Aldershot, Luton etc ) benefit.

Very sad indeed.......but this is what happens if players are vying for a place, but don't get opportunities....so important to use the squad you have..........sort of player Peterborough Sports turn into a redoubtable NLN performer. I had hoped he would get 90 minutes V Cheshunt. There could be a few more asking for a way out if they don't get an opportunity soon. If you genuinely believe that using anyone in the squad doesn't weaken your side, then you must action that and not just say it if you want to keep a squad together

The NLN is full of teams with really experienced pros who know how to win games at this level ...and naturally many are based up north. Not easy to acquire said players....and they cost. When you look at most of the additions during the Summer they are individuals who show great promise, but are still young and learning the league and learning to play with other. I think they will get stronger as time goes on, but believe we will need additions to be strong play off contenders.
I think it's only natural that AL iand SW are learning too as time goes on... it's a big jump from building a team on a relative shoe string, to running a full time outfit at a new club in a new area woth a new Chairman. The expectation now is promotion and that brings new pressures and questions....looking to win most games rather than not getting beaten.
In all fairness I don't think it's possible to assess AL and SW till the end of the season

I hope we do not go down the road of playing so called fringe players, to give them game time. Many clubs have done the same in the past and ended up chaseing the game and getting beat. Cheshunt are on a freebee, if we take them lightly we may be sorry.
We are likely to have to play them at some time in the season and many of them are vying for the shirt anyway.Personally I would rather it happen V Cheshunt than V Scunthorpe, Kidderminster, Chorley etc

Yes, I can see that, but if you over use your best players they will pick up knocks and then you're looking at shelling out money for replacements that negates any benefits of a cup run

From the post match interview it appears AL will go with a "full strength" team against Cheshunt. I guess that's the norm, with managers always feeling under pressure to get a result. There must be an argument given how tough the NLN is for giving some a rest and also giving those waiting in the wings some match time. If the players are good enough to be in a step2 squad I would have thought they should be good enough to take the field against step 3 opposition: Boyes, Isaacson, Rowan, Coulson, Wilson, Walker, Hughes, Whiteley, Barnes, Cybulski,Omotayo sounds a decent eleven to me   Ps my surname isn't Wenger

I never listen to Radio Norfolk, as I enjoy other commentaries far more.

Gold is just not good enough
Obviously entitled to your opinion as is everyone . I am interested to know what you base your comments on , as a basis for a healthy good natured debate. Gold seems to get a lot of knockers, but he scored 3 in the first few games and has been used very sparingly since. AL has admitted he is still learning how to get the best out of him and all the new players will be learning each others strengths and weaknesses. He scored over 20 in the last season he was at this level.If used in the right way and consistently he will be an asset I believe. It will be interesting to see how the team plays now if Margetts is out for a few weeks. It seems to me that there is currently an over reliance on Margetts to score.

How many genuine attempts on goal did Lynn have today ?
It sounds like if Lynn concede first then they are in trouble....because sides will sit behind the ball , slow the game down and the ref is unlikely to be good enough to do anything about it. Given Lynn are full time, one might hope over the course of the next 6 weeks they might come up with a suitable way to deal with this situation, as they are likely to concede first again before too long..........most teams do every so often.
