So so disappointing…. Mid-table performance. Play-offs would be amazing now.

[Mallard]

2 point return from what was an achievable 9 points from the last 3 games.  Just the one goal from open play might tell its own story.

The boos made it known at the end of the game, don't suppose Cully is watching

  First half was dismal they overran us as we were slow and ponderous. We did create the best chances when we moved the ball quickly on the turf and could have stolen it which would have been a robbery for the visitors. Only 801 spectators not unexpected after nearly 400 went to Peterborough and left very dissatisfied with the performance.
There are a few who imho aren’t up to the standard required

Agree with a lot of Hello Kitty post. I used to be a regular for many years, I’ve been twice since the Kidderminster playoff defeat. Never thought that I would, but I have totally lost any interest in going. I do go to the Walks every Saturday, but that’s to do parkrun and I never come away disappointed.
Last week I made some comments towards the radio commentary to which there were a few comments. I listened to some of it today and yes, I was somewhat harsh on the lad, so for that I apologise. Some constructive criticism though, would to be a little less bias, but well done and thank you.
I wish I had the same enthusiasm to go and watch the team like I once had and I’m going back as far as the Lindsay / Wright / Easthall days.

[Mallard]

So let me get this right.  It’s ok for AL to publicly criticise some of the people who help to pay his wages.  Yet the people who he has been less than happy with over the last three games should escape any form of criticism for the performances on the pitch ?

Lakeland told us a few games into the season that this team would get better as the season progressed.  Well after the last few games I would take issue with that comment.  If anything it is quite the reverse. 

The excuses are coming thick and fast.  Players not wanting to to come because of Kings Lynn location.  Memo to AL it’s in the same place as it’s always been and Culverhouse had no problems getting players to come and play here in this League a few short seasons ago.  Maybe Lakeland should start looking a bit closer to home.  Strangely the North West is not the captive market for players who can play at this level.

Maybe it's easier to sign part time rather than full time players at this level.

We know that Michael Gash didn't want full time, so it's very likely there's others that feel the same way.

Is it possible that having a full time model is a hindrance rather than a positive.

I'm afraid that it was almost impossible to tell which team was lower down in the table for most of the match. They wanted it way more than we did. End of. Remember too that without that penalty we had nothing to offer. Constantly firefighting and creating almost no scoring opportunities. If we're a team of defenders we aren't very good at it...

We were truly shocking. The goal they scored was one of those slow motion jobs and I sat watching it and willing it to drift off, or hit a seagull or something. But it wasn't to be. Should the keeper have saved it ? That's a tough one.

As for the boos, I was in the stand and it was clearly aimed at the players and manager. By the time the officials came off the pitch the boos had gone home. Personally I don't agree with booing. The boys know that they haven't been up to getting the job done. They didn't deserve that. It's not as if we lost. A point's better than nothing.

Just as a bit of gossip, there was a punch-up in the directors box after the match. Security were on it quite quickly and apparently one of their directors was involved. Once it was under control, he was still trying to get at our supporters, hurling abuse when he wasn't able to reach them.  I'm afraid I yelled at him to foxtrot oscar 😏

[Blue_and_Gold]

Hypothetical question I know, but if AL was to be moved out who makes such decisions these days?

Cleeve? Bal? Jo?

Or will such things be joint decisions in the future?

[Walks In The Sunshine]

To be fair, Radcliffe played very well in the first half, I thought they were one of the better teams I'd seen at The Walks this season and I thought their position on the league was false.

Don't want to criticise players but I do think their goal was soft and Jones could and should have done better

We looked devoid of ideas

Finally, I'm not sure I agree with the booing, but as paying fans/customers, we are entitled to our opinions.
I'm not a fan of happy clappers who defend the team regardless in a blind loyalty manner - sometimes you have to just call a spade a digging implement

Onwards and upwards.......but it wasn't great today

[m a hill]

Well I have never read such dross ,we don’t have a divine right to win to win every game we play and has for the booing at the end that was a disgrace I hanged my head in shame to hear it .Now let’s look at the game firstly their team new how to old man the Ref and they got away with Murder the goalkeeper should have been booked for time wasting but their defence was rocked solid the whole team was full of players who let say had been around a bit  yes we did have a few chances to score but didn’t take them and the Manager knows we need more fire power and is trying to get someone in but it’s hard to get players to come here and it’s not easy.Finally you are only as good as the opposition let you be well that’s the end of my Rant I miss a few games as I will be off on my yearly trip to Espana one last thing please stop this Booing it’s not in the Spirit of the game

[Coastal linnet]

Radcliffe are a good side. Winning the Northern Premier league and also having some good results this season e.g. at Scunthorpe, Brackley and South Shields. Another interesting result yesterday was Curzon who had to rely upon a late equaliser for a point against Rushall. Their manager gave a short interview after the game; unlike the protracted interrogation of AL. For our manager's part he could have acknowledged the appropriate support given by nearly 800 fans! The booing yesterday came from a vociferous minority in the main stand at the end of the game ( Can i suggest that the stewards actually check tickets to see that people have paid to sit) I spoke to two fellow spectators in the second half who had spent the first half behind the goal and had moved into the stand for a better view in the second!
I don't know who got our man of the match but for me it was Josh McCammon.

[Mallard]

Players getting dogs abuse is nothing to worry about but they get a boo and the Manager is up in arms about it. 

To me AL in his recent post match interviews is a very frustratied man.  He can see what the problems are but is having great difficulty coming up with any of the answers.   As he has told us this is HIS team so has to stand by the players he has brought in.  He has also said he is only travelling 4 hours each day to compete at the top of the Lesgue.  The last few games seems we are struggling to compete with teams at the bottom half of the League.

Lakeland said for the opening 20 minutes they dominated and we couldn’t get a foothold in the game.   Is that a lack of motivation in the dressing room before they go out ?

Something isn’t right.

It must be frustrating for him with regards to what's happening at Club and Cleeve/Bal/Jo.

I would guess until all things are finalised there, it will impact how much money he has to spend and what players he can bring in.

It appears the Chairman and Manager have a very good working relationship (that's nice for a change), but does he fear what will happen when/if Jo and Bal finally take over and want their own man in? That's often the case, as happened when a popular and successful manager was removed when Cleeve first arrived at Lynn.

The amount of excuses and the blaming of others, is often a case of setting the scene prior to departure (i.e. it's not my fault). If we don't get back to winning ways in the next couple of games and Lakeland only wanting to manage a team battling at the top, with how things usually go in football I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if there is a mutually agreed parting of ways. The next two games are of vital importance to the Club and Lakeland. It will show us where we really stand and what the Manager and team are capable of.

We've seen it all before.

Booing? I think the only person really bothered about that is Lakeland. I don't think it would upset the players too much.
