King’s Lynn boss praises players after Kidderminster Harriers demolition at The Walks in National League North

There's something about a midweek victory over Kidderminster Harriers under the floodlights of The Walks.

Forty years ago, a Clive Adams header was good enough to send Harriers packing in a fourth-round FA Cup replay.

The latest instalment was started and finished by goalscorer supreme Jonny Margetts.

In between there were first goals for Josh McCammon and Finlay Barnes, who was the catalyst for Lynn's most convincing display under manager Adam Lakeland.

Lakeland said: "I thought we were excellent tonight.

"We were the better team throughout against a very good opponent and I thought we started the game with a real intent, played with purpose with great energy.

"Obviously, we got our noses in front from a corner and we were unlucky a couple of occasions before that with a couple blocked on the line.

"I felt we lost our way a little bit between 1-0 and 2-0 where Pat Boyes has made an unbelievable double save and if he doesn't make that it goes to 1-1 and the the outcome could be very different.

"We scored a really good second goal, Freddie (Sass) with a brilliant cross and I was delighted for Josh Mccammon to get his his first goal for us. It's long overdue but it has come come eventually.

"I just thought in the second half we showed real maturity and professionalism to the way that we played and managed the game and stayed on the ball well at times.

"We looked constant threat and really took the game away from them. Good work on the side by Dylan and Josh to create a two versus one, won the ball back, slipped inside Josh Hmami who then plays in Finn and he scored his first goal for us.

"I said it on Saturday after the game he was unfortunate not to play the game because I feel like his performances have been getting better and better for us so I'm delighted for him to have to have got his first goal for us.

"Mags (Jonny Margetts) puts the result well beyond doubt with his second and our fourth.

"Maybe we could and should have got more from them, but delighted that we shut them out and kept a clean sheet. It was just a really good performance all round."

Lakeland added: “You have to work hard if you're going to play in this team. I think of the two, you'd have said that they played Saturday, not us, because I thought we looked fresher, sharper, fitter, perhaps.

"I know they played quite a while in the second half with 10 men, but the work rate of every player on the pitch is what we expect.

"Finn has got great quality and technically he's just such a nice player to watch. But together with his work rate, that's what makes him an even better player.

"But I could say the same about everybody. I thought everybody to a man tonight was just superb."
