Well no great surprise today with the result, though it sounds like Lynn gave a decent account of themselves.Tough enough playing away to a full time side of 26 pros who have had a full week to prepare for what they see as the most important fixture over the last couple of weeks, butLynn with a squad of 16/17 and missing Fryatt through injury and Gash just returning from injury ( both as a result of the cup) only had 3 days off and two really tough encounters with Alfreton in the week.You just can't have it all at this level with a small squad, however brilliant the coach or talented the players. Just hope the 'player investment' in the cup run , really pays off now. Lynn still sit third in the league and have a decent draw for the cup next week ..all to play for....onwards and upwards COYL !
Good impartial BBC Radio York praised Lynn for the football they played with no sign of fatigue, there was no player investment in the cup? Lynn have played 3 tough games in 7 days and should be proud of a Draw, Win and a loss to a full time outfit. Any suggestion that the cup matches led to this defeat, is as daft as the idea of resting pre Alfreton. Well done Lynn for a good weeks work. Next time a player gets an knock in a League, or cup game, we should assume he should not have been there, AND WOULD NOT BE INJURED IF HE WAS NOT PLAYING FOOTBALL!!! . League and Cup, both vital to this club at the moment.......
Some will point to the FA cup matches as an excuse for the defeat today (tired legs, injuries etc.) but as the York manager said before the game and Culverhouse said afterwards: it's all about what you do in the attacking third and the defensive third and York were better than Lynn in those areas today. Lynn will learn from this and will come back stronger. Still confident they'll make a play-off place which would be an extraordinary achievement for a first season at Step 2.

Final third may have been compromised a little by Gash not being fully fit and the defensive third by Fryatt's injury...(think we may have played 3 recognised centre halves at the back if they had been available). But as you say a great learning experience
