g13webb 4,254 Posted February 18, 2019 Having watched Niels in seven of the eight years, I believe he has been more instrumental to everything Lynn have produced than anyone. There are many reasons why I'd like to see Niels in the team, his excellence, his determination, his quality , his reliability, the list goes on... him having a low CMA would have been easier to fit him in than he would be normally.... With the exception of Lambert, all the rest of the proposed team are young, willing and able, but not any can be relied upon when the chips are down... without that second accomplished heat leader we will struggle …. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, it could be strongly argued the absolute worst fans are those who stand around happy clapping instead of voicing their displeasure at the decline in fortunes of the club/sport they claim to love so much. I’m all for a range of opinions as I think it’s the only way you can get a true picture of what’s going on, but unfortunately we seem to have a core of people on Lynn threads who moan about the same things day in, day out and don’t seem to recognise the good things when they happen. I’m not for a moment saying that some of the criticism isn’t justified because it absolutely is as Buster has alienated people and the promotion are far from perfect but I think the best opinions are the balanced ones rather than constantly moaning about the same stuff or as you say ‘happy clapping’. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted February 18, 2019 As N.K.I is not in the line up of any other Premier League Team it must be that he has opted out this season because I don't think Lynn wouldn't have not signed him otherwise. We must use what was a TEAM during the last two or three months and the fact that they will be all together again is good. RISS will improve as he will be in from the start this time KASPER was getting better until injury M.P.T is a must as he really wants to be at LYNN The same goes for JORGENSEN. IF LEWIS can go as well as before his Injury The team will do well and be in the top 4 without trouble..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That reads a bit like tongue in cheek and a parting shot to me. Coming from an out going promoter who has regularly spoken out about the decreasing strength of the British top flight. It may be sincere but the two have had regular parting shots at each other the last 3-4 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
