A good 3 points away but it sounded we made hard work of it until Ross Crane came on call me old fashioned but why the manager doesn’t make more use of R C is beyond me the lad makes things happen,but I can’t call the Manager he has had a great season taking us to the playoffs and saving us from relegation last season

That winning goal will most probably be enough to make the playoffs. Can’t see Hereford winning their last game. Another clean sheet, very impressive recently. Great achievement to make the playoffs, so well done AL and team.

Also up to 5th which could result in the playoff eliminator being at home

First half felt more like friendly.Last 15   minutes was good though.
Don't they like music 🎶 in Needham?

Play-off place still not guaranteed…we need to make sure by not losing to Chester. Fingers crossed as we have been vulnerable at home…

[Mallard]

Brilliant result.  Now for Chester to come on Saturday.  Bumper gate and I think I’m right in that Chester have nothing to play for as they are going to finish 4th, win, lose or draw against  us.  So maybe they won’t be quite ‘at it’ come Saturday with one eye on their play off game. 

If we can cement 5th we get a home game which should attract a fair ole crowd.  Could this go a long way to filling SC’s 50k shortfall ?  After all he can’t have factored any play off games into his thinking.

Great result.........but, what a poor game of football it was!!

Credit to Needham for achieving what they have, but the set up isn't really for this level of football.

The crowd - I think there were more Lynn fans than Needham fans there today.

But, football is a results business regardless of the performance - 4 more scrappy 1-0 wins and we're in the National League and I think we'd have all taken that scenario at the start of the season

Yes, it was a poor game. Very scrappy. Far too much kick and rush, hoofing up field to the big man and head tennis. Lynn were the better side and at times did try to play 'proper football'. However a win is a win and that's all that's needed at this stage of the season. Needham have a nice little ground with friendly staff. I wish them well next year.
