General Discussion / Re: Lynn share the points.
« on: February 02, 2025, 01:32:06 PM »
That's the first time I have seen AL seem a little bit disheartened and worn down by the whole thing., in a post match interview.

I am sure there are many reasons, but Lynn historically, fail to refresh their squads around the turn of the year, when competitors do....happened under IC and TW too...much to the Managers'frustrations.

With apparently no clear financial plan to work to, it must be very difficult for AL to remain super enthusiastic, when it's pretty obvious that  the current squad had almost over performed up to Christmas and are now beginning to struggle.

If there isn't more clarity soon, it would be normal for him  to question whether this is what he wants going forward.

Yes..the most important thing for me is someone who paints a picture of what's going on where. I think he does it very well...keep going young man !

Rushall will be similar to Sports I would have thought.....similar opposition, similar Lynn eleven.

Obviously hope for a win, but not sure where it will come from tbh

Not for the first time i question the value of full time at this level and the Club's attitude over recent times towards local players. Apparently Gash and Fryatt were magnificent at the heart of the PS defence. Gash would likely still be with us had we remained part time and Ryan Fryatt along with Joe Taylor and Fletcher Toll were not deemed to be 'good enough' ?!


Well I have to completely agree Rod. We have been second best to Sports in derbies for a while now and obviously cant handle them, Alfreton or Farsley currently. A promotion winning team would hope for 4 points against those sides over a season, so 12 points in all.....with one game to go we have 1 point from the 12.


Sports are part time and have low attendances, yet are mid table. Can one really justify the extra expense of being full time when one looks at the table ? If and when Lynn get promoted they will need almost a whole new squad anyway, so it's not like being full time now, helps going forward, does it ?

This post is partly in response to AL questioning what the fans want. Well who knows whether AL, ever looks at this forum...we certainly know the media team do, so may.be things get passed down.......

 I suspect AL may have been informed that the club is a sleeping giant , when he took over. Possibly also, if you get success on the pitch, crowds will come..eg York, more than 4,000.

However, I believe there are some strong requirements attached for any of this to even be partly true. Obviously what follows is just my take on things:


Firstly apart from maybe the solid core of 700 or so, supporters or would be supporters want to know what they are actually supporting before they commit on a regular basis......what is the plan, what is the intention, will the club be solvent going forward, if it did get promoted, could it actually afford to go up and stay up. If none of this information is available, then what is there to buy into or support ?

Secondly, fans at Lynn are used, in recent times to the club being up there....2 years ago 2nd on 93 points, 2 previous years National League, previous year, won the NLN. To get the crowd building you need consistent home performances....entertaining attacking football and wins, coupled with some pricing offers. There have been a number of false starts this year....start of a decent run, so crowd turns up in decent numbers and then a really disappointing performance when they are there. Those extra few hundred that were there on Boxing Day were there for the experience and/or to give it a try again........they weren't excited by the performance and therefore weren't vocal and probably won't be there again until there has been another decent run......that's just the way it works.

That's a really poor result.....Lynn needed 3 points just to stay in the automatic promotion mix Just don't seem to have an adequate game plan  at home to the bottom clubs. Thats Sports, Farsley and Needham where Lynn have come up well short. So disappointing when they do well at Brackley and Chester and then negate it.

Also it seems whenever they get a really good crowd in this season they fluff their lines......likely to be back to 800 now for the next few home games.......just stifles any crowd momentum .

Margetts isn't scoring with any regularity........I wonder whether he has fully recovered from that spinal injury.

Our only other dedicated forward Omotayo can't get any time on the pitch it seems.

Surely in today's circumstances one might have expected Hughes (85) and Omotayo (90) to feature earlier.
Are Lynn that afraid of the attacking threat of the likes of Needham that they can't be a little more gung ho at home? If there is no real intention of using Gold then it would be best to let him go.........I am sure there is another step 2 side around that would take him and get 10 goals from him in  the rest of the season.

Well  that's two people that seem sure that "Joe" was there. In what form, he was there and is involved in the club is still a huge unknown though.

Be interesting to know what the audience is with Radio Norfolk’s Live coverage of a Bulk standard Lynn game.

I get it could well be a commercial benefit to the Club in airing its own show.  Let’s hope the commentary is of a decent quality and not just someone who can hold a microphone.

Maybe Mark has some inside knowledge on how the new initiative will play out.

Yes, hopefully it will be of good quality. The really important thing is to paint a picture for the listener of where the ball is at every instant . The current Norwich commentators are pretty good at that, some of the other Radio Norfolk commentators are not so strong on that point......... saying something like Coulson clears it away isn't very helpful, but something like  "ball is crossed in towards the D, Coulson meets it with a firm header and finds Crane half way in his own half on the right flank" does paint the picture.

2nd game on the trot where we apparently hardly came out of our half for the first half.  Defensive line-ups or teams regularly give goals away because the opponents spending most or all of the game in our half are going to get regular chances.  Until we have an attacking midfield to go with the forwards we’re not going to get anywhere.  My opinion anyway….. Mid table at best, and it could be worse, and dodgy…

I thought we had more midfielders than any other position........ attacking midfielders:Hughes, Crane, Bartley, Hmami, McCammon........I agree with your sentiment Dilly, we do need to look to be more positive, but I.just don't think we can cope presently with lump ball tactics including long throws......none of the centre backs are huge, some are past their prime and Jonah despite being a great keeper for this level is of the Norwich School who tend not to come screeching from their line to the edge of the boxto claimthings. When he's fit are we employing Gold as an extra defender at set plays as we did in the past....he can be really important at both ends of the pitch. With the likes of Leamington, Alfreton, Sports lump ball means the midfield are often by passed

If the new Football Club radio broadcast means the end of Radio Norfolk at Lynn games then I’ll miss Nick Bowlers commentary.  A very knowledgeable man on all things involving local football.

Radio Norfolk don't have the capacity to be at The Walks regularly enough and there is a need for a radio commentary every match. I can see this developing very nicely, with some good incites and info coming in.
As Mark says, there's no reason for it conflict with Radio Norfolk. They make a choice to cover every Norwich game, even though away games are also covered by the respective BBC station, effectively meaning that the BBC are doubling up each time. After that, they then make the decision to visit a large number of local teams, including one outside of Norfolk with Norwich links. However, that doesn't really service the 2nd best team in Norfolk and it's fans sufficiently........so onwards and upwards. Most teams at Lynn's level have their own dedicated radio commentary, probably for similar reasons.

Sounds like we desperately need Gold back.

I am of the opinion that we are better off out of the Trophy. Our squad size and current injuries means we can hardly cope with the league fixtures.

If we did have any intention to have a long run in the competition, however, then that was a pretty pitiful start for a full time team, who knew exactly the sort of game plan Leamington would be offering. We do really seem to struggle with the likes of Alfreton, Sports, Leamington etc.

Nice to see Hmami scored again and well done the media team on the trial of the online radio...a really good initiative which can only get stronger with experience  :clap: :clap: :scarf:
