Linnets lose on the road
« on: February 22, 2025, 04:56:05 PM »
Lynn lose 1-0 away to Darlington.

Results elsewhere means Lynn stay in 6th position and in a play off spot.

Att: 1481.

Lynn visit Kiddie on Tuesday, and it could be a good time to go there with them having lost their last two games (Kiddie lost 3-1 at home to Spennymoor this afternoon).


A little knowledge may be dangerous, but knowing nothing while thinking you know it all is far worse.

Think you are clutching at straws B & G ...Kiddie are due a win ......and they have some goalscoring forwards.

Unless the new signings lined up are stellar and arrive very soon it,might be wise to wait now.

I see Sports have some momentum currently.

It’s more like optimism.

When are we going to see the benefit of Jo’s money?   :dontknow:

Can't knock optimism  :laughcry: :laughcry: :laughcry:

It's the old lack of information for supporters again though isn't it it......if the club are serious about going for promotion then pay to get a goalscorer in. If the club doesn't have the cash then tell us.

In summary TELL US YOUR PLAN......if you have one.

No shame in a single goal defeat at Darlo.  As for new players coming in surely we would have seen them join by now.  Time is slipping away. 

Hopefully McFadden and Johnson are back for Tuesday night at Kiddie.  Two poor defeats for them on the spin against Marine and then today sets it up nicely for us. Good time to go there.

What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

You almost sound like a 1-0 defeat was a good result for us. Looking at it slightly different, with our lack of scoring goals, the game was all over after just 6 minutes. Do you really think we will come away from Kidderminster with anything, I suppose a 0-0 would be good. Going to be a tough ask to finish in a playoff spot but if we can, then who knows. Hopefully the talked about new signings include a decent forward, could make the difference.

John when I saw the line up was missing both McFadden and Johnson I feared the worst today.

Having just had a listen to a ‘prickly’ AL post match interview it seems I might have it spot on and a 1-0 defeat was a decent result.
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

Just watched AL's post match interview. Made me feel like phoning the Samaritans. Mr Motivator he is not. More like Mr Moaner. Bumpy pitch, Margetts fell over too easily, it is down to the players not him. He didn't come across as being particularly enthusiastic about the current state of play.

Hello Kitty.

Who knows maybe it’s getting to AL.   The travelling to Norfolk from the North West, the frustration of players not wanting to come to Lynn and indeed a player choosing to go to part time Alfreton.  Chuck in the fact we were in their challenging for the top shop a few short weeks ago.  Come Tuesday we could well be outside the play off places. 

Even the situation with Cleeve, Jo/Bal  might be giving him concern

The lure of full time football was one of the reasons AL took the job. The expectations at Lynn always seem to be very high. We gained promotion under IC to the National League and had two seasons there, it was as expected, very difficult. Of course AL is frustrated, he wants to win football games. He knows the problem is lack of scoring, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. Our leading scorer has scored just 8, if you don’t address that, then don’t expect to achieve success.

Surely a manager with such a stellar reputation wouldn't have 'signed on the dotted line' without doing some basic due diligence re such as ownership structure, implication of our location and its possible impact on player recruitment, added to the need to regularly be up at the crack of dawn to travel down to his place of work etc etc?
