Fifth straight draw for Linnets

Danny Bloomfield
Danny Bloomfield's penalty meant yet another draw for King's Lynn

King's Lynn made it five draws in five Blue Square North matches as they were held 1-1 at home by Hinckley United.

The Linnets needed a second-half penalty from Danny Bloomfield to equalise after Jez Murphy had given the visitors the lead.

It means Lynn have drawn all of their matches so far in their first ever season of Conference football.

Linnets manager Keith Webb told BBC Radio Norfolk: "I'm deeply frustrated at the minute."

Lynn could have lost the match at the Walks as Hinckley had a strong penalty claim turned down in the final minute.

Ex-Aston Villa and Leicester striker Julian Joachim was left out of the starting line-up by King's Lynn as Bloomfield started and rewarded his manager's faith by scoring the equaliser.

The Linnets have drawn 1-1 with Burscough, Redditch, Alfreton and now Hinckley this season and also drew 2-2 with Droylsden.

Webb has told his side they must tighten up if they are to get their first win of the season.

"You get punished for individual mistakes and the higher you go the more that happens.

"I've got to recognise that the players need to improve and if they don't then I have got to look elsewhere."

The Southern League champions' search for a first Blue Square North win continues at Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday.
