We’re certainly depleted by injury, but it’s a stodgy line-up, imho, that on paper looks unlikely to flow or dominate the game.  Surely Charles or Walker would give us more chance of flowing like we have done so far.  One of them next to Gold, with Barrett replacing Ox-C in midfield.  Just my mouth - I’ve mislaid my gob-stopper!

Does anyone know the nature of the injuries to our two forwards?

Radio Norfolk said Stephens is two weeks away from a return and Ponticelli four.

Personally I feel we will need both of these to be fully firing for the Christmas and new year period of matches, hopefully we can keep picking up points until there returns, but I do feel we are a better squad for having these to fighting for a striking role, at the moment we have very limited options in attack.  COYL.

Surely Tommy has enough connections to be able to bring a loaner in to fill the void on a months loan.

If Tommy had those sort of connections, we wouldn’t have got relegated last season. We were in dire need of a goal scorer, he brought in midfielders. I was impressed with Charles today, so for me, he should start. Him and Omotayo up front, until the others are fit. Good that we still have that option, but if Tommy could bring a forward in, then so much the better.

I'd be very surprised if Tommy hasn't got the connections to bring in the players that he wants.

I would guess that it's more down to lack of funds being made available to him if it doesn't happen.

Tommy said in his post match interview he wants to bring in a striker and a midfield player.   Money is there but will the Club/S want to
Part with the players

Thought Club was skint yesterday.

Maybe the chairman has had a feel down the back of his sofa or had a closer look under his mattress.  Then again maybe the £5k Friends money has found its way to the Chairman?

That subject dies seem to have gone very quiet.

Strange.

Last season Tommy brought in, was it 7 or 8 players, so he had the funds then, but he didn’t get a forward. I’m not too concerned about our forward line, I feel Charles and Omotoyo will be ok and Stephens could be back in a couple of weeks. However, if promotion through be champions is our aim and I’m sure it is, then having extra cover would only be a good thing. We are blessed with being able to score goals not just from our forwards after all. The thing that is quite concerning however, was yesterdays attendance. There were over 3000 Lynn fans there for the Stevenage game, so to get less than 1000 yesterday is not at all good.

I think kick-off time put quite a few off yesterday.
And some had forgotten it was early ko.

All but 15 minutes, it was the same time as the Stevenage game, so I don’t think it was the early kick off time. Personally, I quite like the early kick off time, although it’s not ideal for away supporters. The attendances need to improve, because we can’t survive at this level, with a full time team.

[jesuslinnet]

The stevenage game was a one off.
Everyone was talking about it, the biggest game for years, not many would have not realised the ko time.  With so much football on telly,  the world Cup, and the match not getting anywhere near the build up there was for stevenage one, people could have overlooked the ko time.
I know of some that did.
