Linnets boss unhappy with boo boys after home draw

Adam Lakeland said he was unhappy with the reaction of a section of the home crowd after King’s Lynn Town’s 1-1 home draw against Radcliffe.A handful of supporters booed the team on the final whistle despite Lynn stretching their unbeaten home record to seven games and moving up a place to fifth in the National League North tableLynn’s boss looked visibly unhappy with the reception at the end and made his thoughts known in the post-match chat with the media.Lakeland said: “I thought it was really harsh for supporters to boo my team off today and I’m really disappointed.”They deserve better than that and that’s probably the most noise I heard all game was the boos at the end. I think that’s incredibly harsh and the players deserve better than that.”I think it’s delusional, booing the team off today. I’ll get battered, no doubt, for being critical but, you know, 12 months ago when we were having a really bad time, I had between 700 and 900 people shouting at me.”This team’s fifth in the league now and they’re doing incredibly well. We’ve got a young team that’s trying and giving everything. So now it’s my turn to have a bit of a shout at them. “I want and expect my team to get more support. I can understand frustration like no problem with that and I can understand ambition because we all want to we all have aspirations to do well, but I I think it’s incredibly harsh for them to do them off today, Incredibly harsh.” The hosts were behind on 10 minutes – a stretching Sam Walker could only play the ball towards Sam Greenfield who drove in a low shot from 20 yards which beat keeper Paul Jones, who won’t be watching any replays after letting the ball slip through his arms.On the stroke of half-time, Greenfeld crashed into Sam Walker as he went for Armstrong’s cross and referee Lewis Dawson pointed to the penalty spot.Margetts kept his cool to slot home from 12 yards and Lynn were back in the game. Lynn had the better of the second half in terms of chances, Hmami pushed one wide and with 10 minutes left forced Hewelt into another routine save.The same player could, and should, have settled it with minutes remaining, but shot straight at the goalkeeper’s legs before screwing the rebound wide of an open goal.
