Then again if there is a couple more coming in then it stands to reason that maybe the likes of Stewart and Carey could be farmed our on loan. No point in those lads coming in from step 5 to play at Step 6 for The Reserves. I also feel the same about Limb who added nothing at step 3 so retaining him once promotion was secured seems a very strange decision.

No point shelling out a big amount to release him, to effectively get a back up striker for the time being who could be a dud. Gash/Marriot got injured for a spell, then things might change.Feel a CB is all that's required. Likely a RB too if Burrows doesn't commit.

I guess the question is Tony are we looking at next season in isolation or looking to the future as well as the present? I would suggest with the advent of the new academy and young signings coming in from lower level then IC and SC are looking at the longer term.I think it may be difficult to bring in ‘better’ than we have unless there is a steep increase in budget. Where does that money come from? I know you are very much one for living within our means. So the MO of brining in younger players to improve has to be one way forward.
The "Special One" that is Ian Culverhouse will inspire, cajole and develop the team who we are fortunate to have. The nucleus of last season's fantastic team are still here and with the incoming strength we will be a force to be reckoned with. Teams "Oop North" will be in for a shock. Lynn are going to be pushing for a Play-Off position.
This is the highest level of football that any Lynn football team has ever played

Lynn are going to be pushing for a Play-Off position. There are some massive clubs in non league terms in this league, York, Chester, Darlington, Boston,Hereford,AFC Telford to name but a few,many being ex football league clubs, I really feel we must learn to walk in this league before we run. This is the highest level of football that any Lynn football team has ever played, and I agree we need to be aiming for the top 6, but this will be a very difficult task, we really need to see where we stand in terms of strength of squad after say 10 games before we make any rash predictions. There are going to be teams out there with a lot healthier playing budget than we could imagine having, therefore we put our faith in Mr Culverhouse to find and coach those unfound gems we need to carry this club forward. Here's hoping for a great season.
