Such a simple formula, with cash the only answer.
The Dillathon computer calculated 5 years ago that the words of managers are in the main worthless. They all say the same things and use the same cliches. It’s about having quick and elusive players in every position. This manager, like all others, needs players who are better than opponents, but doesn’t have the cash to attract them. Until he does, we can’t and won’t progress. Such a simple formula, with cash the only answer.
What a poor result, I'm afraid the buck stops with AL as his team selection was far from satisfactory.We had our top goal scorer Cybulski (6) who is also our only natural no.9 sitting on the bench, on his introduction the team performance improved.Barrett starting whilst coming back from injury doesn't make sense as he needs to be used as an impact player off the bench until full fitness is reached.Smith I'm afraid is just not good enough for this standard.Ponticelli & Stephens have scored 7 goals in 27 league starts and 6 sub appearances, whilst their positioning to make chances is very good their conversion of chances into goals is dire.Back 3 of Crowther, Coulson & Mcfadden have not kept a clean sheet all season, surely AL must see something has to change.Apart from 2 young loanees from Fleetwood there have been no incoming players, with all AL contacts you would think there would have been some experienced players incoming or is it that there is no finance to fund such players. Without a team shake up or a couple of experienced incoming players appearing quickly we will be cut adrift in the bottom four over the next few games.
Is SC really being serious ? The fans are to blame by not turning up in numbers to pay for his Hobby.The guy is never to blame and nothing is his fault. He seems to not want to take responsibility for poor Management selection, leaving the. Luv full time at this level, overnight stays etc. The list is endless for what he has promised but failed to deliver on. If the Club falls over the edge of a Cliff ( Is it a case of when not if ?), then the fault will sit firmly in one persons lap. Just look at the Clubs balance sheet, that would be a good starting point.

But somewhat ironically, he also alludes to the fact that we have a choice!

He should maybe be looking at the reasons he has failed ( re-accruing that word) to obtain sufficient financial support from third parties. Apart from the one where he is now due to start paying back.
I agree, I think we are coming to that point.I would also just like to back track.When Hughes was at the helm some suggested he was out of his depth and others are blaming the weak squad on him. What if he was very limited by finance on what he could bring in ? I can also imagine players weren't exactly queuing up to come to Norfolk, following the exodus that happened pre season. Fast forward to now...is Adam Lakeland getting much more out of the squad......or finding it easy to bring players in ?The way I see it is we lost 2 fine wing backs for this league and a player who was big for us in defence and attack in Gold...and we couldn't afford to replace any of them.The squad has too many flashy forward players who look good on the ball but offer no end product.......all those that were on Gold's back and wanted a Ponticelli, Stephens pairing up front instead, are probably realising why Widdrington showed such faith in him.Two of the central 3 have always lacked pace in Lynn colours.....in the past this has been plastered over by two capable wing backs and a blocker in front of them in the form of Theo...I thought Hughes acquired Oke for that role but so far Adam has used him very sparingly.I am not sure, how much more Adam can squeeze out of the current squad...maybe just enough to survive relegation. However, with crowds dropping I do wonder if the club will make it till the end of the season.Whatever must the shortfall be with crowds of 600?
