Another one in at the Walks - Pierce Bird from Eastleigh (formerly Notts County plus loan spells elsewhere) so any info appreciated, particularly if he is happier in a back three or four and whether he can head the ball (not something we looked for in a centre half last season!). Full story...
Very difficult to say given what was in front of him, a good shot stopper but no command of his 6-yard box and hardly took a cross all season. Basically looked like what he was, a young keeper stepping into senior football for the first time and learning his trade in a poor NL side (furloughing...
Couple of bits from King's Lynn-
* Sonny Carey departs for Blackpool - wish the lad well, always gave 100% and one of the few bright spots of last season was seeing him turn some of the obvious potential into good performances week in, week out.
* we have signed Junior Morias who has had a...
We have a pretty good list with both our senior local sides visiting after their respective promotions which is perhaps a reflection of us being NL again this season, club making noise about attendance restrictions although still lots can change between now and then:
13th July - MK Dons (H)
16th...
Lynn are 'going for it'. OK, let me rephrase, all the local press talk is how we are moving to a more full-time model and some players have left citing being unable to commit to the new training schedule, although we do have way too many of last years squad signed up for 2021-22. Personally I...
One of the many temporary players we had in to help us complete the season but he probably played less games than he might have (considering how short we were) and didn't make much of an impact in the games he did play so assume we haven't taken it any further
Lots of 'paper talk' about who was watching him and most accept he is too good for us so will be off in the summer, just a shame that the market will be depressed so we probably won't get what we might have done (say) a couple of years ago. He has really grown up this season having had limited...
Well 4/5 out of the 11 you have retained is probably better than the ratio on our retained squad (particularly if Carey leaves as most Lynn fans expect him to), showing our inexperience in offering longer contracts to players who hadn't proved themselves with the club or at this level. Eight...
Our (King's Lynn) figures were pretty poor, I think we started somewhere in the 500s (not including season ticket holders) but by the end it was just over the hundred. Whilst this season hasn't been easy for anyone, furloughing the majority of the squad certainly didn't help viewing figures on...
Masks mandatory at all times at King's Lynns two games next week https://www.kltown.co.uk/2021/05/17/fans-return-information/ which I guess may come out of the negotiation with the safety advisory group when it came to setting the allowable attendance?
Not an issue for us as our games are against Solihull & Aldershot who both look out of the race but another question for the clubs near the bottom is will they attract as many fans when the past couple of months have been little more than pre-season games? I know many Lynn fans wrote the season...
Unfortunately we do have an 'unfriendly' element although that's not all of us. Basically since the club reformed we got used to being a bigger fish in a smaller pond and that we were somehow a 'sleeping giant' of non-league football. Even after the wake up call that this season has been...
Mitchell played the majority of the time as a lone striker whilst at Lynn. When he first came he was a little bit greedy as if he needed to prove his place but since we furloughed his real competition he has done a great a job for us up top, often being very isolated. What he is like in a...
To be honest that was the worst performance from our stream all season, not sure what the technical issues were and much as I joked about the volume of Chesterfield fans crashing the system it ought to be able to cope with 1000. Not sure you will have too much joy asking for a refund, we are...
Lynn one up at home to Chesterfield who have probably had the better of the game but Lynn took their one opportunity well from a free kick just outside the box. Lynn's one recognised centre half has gone off injured so feel it will be a backs to the wall second 45. Stream is awful today so...
We do have a bit of pace out wide (Gyasi) but he is often described a 'raw' ie looks really quick and dangerous but very little end product
I think most would say the stream is expensive (£12) and variable, we have had changes in personnel and flitted between one or three cameras and replays...
To be honest, I have watched (streamed) all our home games this season and have no more idea than you what to expect. Since furloughing the majority of our squad we seem to have gone back to the possession / short passing game that served us so well in the past two seasons with back to back...
Very lightly? Completely scot free more like. Heaven only knows why the other 6 who voted 'no' have bothered putting teams out if all the NL was going to do was issue a slap on the wrist. Can only assume Parmenter still had enough dirt on the NL board to get this sort of outcome.
