Re: Tommy Taylor Departs
All the best to Tommy. I'm sure an absolute brilliant lad to have around the changingroom and club. But for me, the right decision. With limited resources the loan route seems to be the best to maximise the position. You think we should just go with a loan keeper next season? What if we can't get a...

Re: Local clubs released lists
It looks like pretty much the entire squad at Blyth is out of contract and Jon Shaw will be highly likely to get the push so can't really enter into talks with players. There are strong rumours that some have already sorted out deals elsewhere. If that's the case, I hope we're taking a look at Finn...

Re: Local clubs released lists
Like most definitely be happy to see Scott Barrow next season. Michael Duckworth is a pretty good RB from memory too might be worth a look.

Re: Ben Liddle leaves
First and foremost best of luck to him. Some big goals for the club. Thought he had a better first season than second. Not a percentage player, but I thought he always tried to be positive in his passing and play forward, though that probably reduces his %'s a bit and makes him guilty of 'giving the...

FA Cup replays scrapped from R1 in 24/25
As above. No FA cup replays from R1 next season. Seems to be a decision from the Premier League despite them not being involved in those rounds. Terrible for smaller teams throughout the pyramid who can make a fortune from earning replays at higher placed team grounds. Surely there needs to be addit...

Re: Once the dust settles...
There are certainly things that need to be reviewed, changed and communicated based on this year: But first of all we need to secure the services of SW and TM. On decent length contracts too. Give them the vote of confidence they deserve and time to build a squad. 2+1 deals would be a good start. Af...

Re: Looks like they're staying...
Yeh, Young won't be back. I'm sure a new GK will be a priority, and I'd hope that we have a good chance of securing Cornish and Barrow on contracts. If we can get those sorted early on, move out a few of the squad players/under-performers, then we should hopefully have a decent core of a side to fl...

Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board
As others have said. No chance of seeing Young back again. And credit to him for that, he has really really shown his quality whilst with us and deserves to be moving up the leagues to test himself. What it really does show though is the quality of goalkeeper available from high level academies who ...

A game which underlined some of the flaws we were seeing pre-Watson. Keeper not commanding his 6 yard box. Lack of pace in the f...

Good write up as ever Ginge. Kings Lynn seem to have found the players and form to pull away from the drop zone.
