I am concerned that Lynn don't have a back up plan if they loose Marriott or Gash.
There doesn't seem to be anyone else who is consistently scoring goals other than them.
I have though been impressed with their last ditch defending, which has saved them on many occasions.
My concern is that they invite teams onto them.
I do think though they are winning games through sheer luck at times.
But will that luck run out at some time, who knows, we will have to wait and see.

Yes there’s a plan.
Thanks for worrying about us though.

You must be interested in our fortunes too, else you wouldn't be on here...

Let's hope you do, but if you have replacements for your forwards, shouldn't they be playing in the team so that they get match fit and be pushing for a place.
I do think that you will loose Marriott to another club soon, your chairman will need the money to fund your promotion and bring in better players.
You must be thanking us for letting Marriott come to you, and without our Bazza were would you be.
-
Fair play, they are doing ok, surprised to see them top of league, but hope they have funded it correctly because it has the smell of another north ferriby to me, be a shame to see them let their club die again.
-
I'm not concerned about Kings Lynn at all.
I just really want us to beat Brackley.

I agree with you beefy, why should we be caring about what's happening at Kings Lynn, if they end up as another North Ferriby then so be it. I couldn't
give a f@@@.

I was amazed at their crowd yesterday...4000 !
If the question was asked about where did our televised fa cup replay crowd crawl.out the woodwork from then where the chuff did that lit appear from?....did York take 3000?
-
Who gives a stuff about KL. I care about them as much as I do the Fat Fraudster who nearly destroyed us.
Getting one over Brackley on Tuesday is upper mist in my thoughts.
I did hear from a Lynn fan today that they have signed a loan player from Norwich, who would give Usain Bolt a good test. Yeah right.

Were would they be without Norwich, l would have thought Norwich would be keeping a player like that considering they are in the trouble they are.

Looking at Norwich i think they should consider loaning KL players not the other way round

Yes fair point.

Went to watch KL v York on Saturday. A close match with not much in it really. A poachers goal from AM the difference between the two sides - oh and maybe also the new KL loan signing from Norwich City - Simon Power. Here's an example of how to work the loan market - looks to be a good bit of business from Culverhouse. Disappointed with York, was expecting much more from them, particularly after going a goal down.
Hope all is good behind the scenes with the KL chairman and the Club enjoy their promotion winning season.

The Lynn Manager Culverhouse was an Ex player and assistant Manager at Norwich, so little wonder they can pull young talent in from there on loan. All about connections in this game.
The Fat Fraudster has plenty of connections so that’s why the team changed every week.

Same with Green and loans from Sunderland .

Personally, welcome other club supporters to contributing to this site. Diversity is the word. It will be brilliant for local football if both King's Lynn Town and The Pilgrims were to gain promotion to the National League this season. Give my regards to ex-Norwich United players Sonny and Nat - both did great service to The Planters in their time!
-
King's Lynn have signed.... Dayle Southwell, permanently.
-
I understand Craig was in for him, but turned us down.
-
True.
Maybe Marriott will be on his way....

Told you we had a back up plan.

So who sits on the bench as the impact player, Southwell, Gash or Marriott ?

if you're top of the league why would you split your successful 2 front men? Unless forced of course.
-

Apparently he cost an absolute fortune, and has probably just took up all of your budget for the rest of the season, let's hope his injuries don't come back.
You have paid massively over the odds for a player that had done very little for 3 seasons.

I have heard a rumour that Marriott is on his way to a Midlands based club.
-
KL have released 2 players, one of which is Harry Limb. I know he's been on loan at Boston Town this season, but maybe he'd be worth a shot for us? Still only 20.

Would he? Has been at Pinchbeck United & as you say Boston Town over the last few months and hardly set the world alight at either. I don't think this Burnley move did him any good at all.
-
Can we stop this 'he'll do a job for us' or 'worth a look' talk please?
The lad has been at FC and Holbeach and done nothing so its clear he's nowhere near good enough for us.
Just because he's local doesn't mean we should take pity on him.
-
Hearing what money Southwell has signed for it's clear Dayle's a luxury well out of our price range. We wouldn't be able to get close to matching what Lynn are paying him. None of that is meant as a criticism. It is what it is. If Lynn are sustainable and can afford those kind of wages, fair play.

But I'm guessing sustainability isn't a word employed too often in the Kings Lynn boardroom..........

Yeah, like I said, it's a huge "if". But Stephen Cleeve is by his own admission bankrolling the club and seems like a thoroughly unpleasant individual with a pretty dodgy background in his business dealings.... so I guess we'll see how this all pans out eh?
-
If Dayle is on more than Marriot or Gash, then I would suspect Culverhouse’s phone would have been red hot these last few days.
This guy Cleave the fans there seem to be buying into him. Word I’ve had is that he is about to be joined by a heavyweight backer who was previously Chairman of a big Northern based Championship Club, and this is not the only offer.
All end in tears, just a case of when.
-
Don’t give a monkeys to be honest, we’ve been there and done that.
BUFC just need to concentrate on getting as high in the league as we can.
-
Indeed. It's just frustrating to have one club every season doing this - to be honest I never thought it'd be King's Lynn! But it is what it is. Funny though, they're at pains to stress they're not full time... but what they're paying Dayle is certainly a full time wage.

If they are not sustainable enough to buy pith covers, they cant possibly be sustainable on the player budget.
Looks like the budget is now well spent on a out of form injury prone striker, who has done absolutely nothing since his move to Wycombe.
They have taken a massive gamble on him, which l suspect Craig was not prepared to do, yes get him cheap if you can, but never pay over the odds because he was once a big name in non league.
If he was the superstar he thinks he still is, then Halifax wouldn't have let him go.
Good on Boston for not caving in and being conned by Dayle and his agent.
We have strikers who are scoring goals, and we will only sign those who are and have been.
We have some cash but we ain't about to splash, on any old crap.

That's probably a tax fiddle.

Southwell is not a back up plan, just a bankrupt plan.

It sounds as though you're all hoping the worst will happen so you can gloat and indulge in a bit of schadenfreude.

I am honestly concerned about them, they won't survive another bankruptcy.
The club is so important to the Town, my cousin played for them during the 80s and loved his 3 seasons there.
Just do not trust the owner, l think he is though being put under immense pressure by Culverhouse to give him what he wants, as we all know what happened last time when the chairman said no to him, Culverhouse walked out the door.
Could be an Evan's v Malkinson situation developing.
-
The name being thrown out there is Chris Akers. Was something big in at Leeds. Cannot say the name rings any bells with me
-
Absolutely do not want to see Lynn fail. I'd much rather have a proper rivalry with them than see them go pop again.
-
My view always has been its always dodgy to take players back once they have left,especially forwards.
Look at Paul Cavell when he came back,and same with Dayle. Very good player first time round, but frankly
didn't look anything like that for the few weeks he was here. Not bothered he did not sign.

You have got a good point there, Cav was awful when he returned.
Ricky Miller IMO has been the only one that l can remember that excelled when he had his second spell with us.

it's like taking a blockbuster movie and throwing out a sequel that just doesn't compare to the original. Anyone know the songs in Grease 2 for instance? Sometimes it's best just leaving things as they once were, and yes, of course there are plenty of exceptions, but it can more often than not to be a case of going to the well one too many times.
-
Thought Mickey Nuttall was excellent when he came back in the Dr Martens winning campaign. As for Cavell, he wasn’t bad per se, just past it to make him bad.
Dayle could have been good but injuries and lack of games have clearly taken their toll. He needs to play to get back to where he was but unless he does the business then can’t justify playing him.
-

It'll be interesting to see how Garner performs if he is able to get a run of games.

Oh I don’t know, I prefer Godfather2 to The Godfather. We get Robert De Nero in the 2nd one and Luca Brassi doesn’t sleep with the fishes. ;D

What about if the new Top gun movie is not as good as the old one, my fear is that it can't be, oh l just hope they do not try and bring back Goose, perhaps Maverick will wake up hear his shower running and then find Goose in there singing "Great Balls of Fire" and Maverick replies "they fecking will be if you ever scare me like that again " then Goose replies " oh Mav, you've lost that loving feeling".
-
OBT, now if they had made a film where Maverick went head to head with Topper Harley we would be talking serious Box Office. Throw in Charley Babbitt and the first one to put Baby in the Corner loses. :o

To pay for extras for our own fans in our new stadium. KL are asking for handouts for something that they should already have...
-
The Jam Jar collection is nothing to do with the club or the team. It was an idea by a fan to provide something specific for the fans in the new stadium, happily it has been well supported to the tune of £3,500 and will run until the end of the season. Supporters who have donated are the ones who choose how it will be spent so as I said nothing to with anybody other than the fans. Other clubs fans should consider doing the same even if they are not getting a new stadium.
