teflon123 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Whilst its quite nice to see Truro going local for players, they and Massey need to wake up real quick and realise that the league they play in is incredibly strong and players like Mark Goldsworthy, Phil Lowry and all the other Peninsula players they have pulled in are not good enough to play at that level. They are good players at Peninsula level but the step up is far too much, other clubs in that league are pulling in former pro's, players just being released by professional clubs, players from the same league, not players from 4 or 5 leagues below. The result the other night against 2nd to bottom was a joke and its looking like another relegation battle this year unless the bring in real quality.

Players who are moving up show ambition, and they will fight and battle to prove they are good enough. I would much rather watch these guys than a load of players who don't care, Good luck to them and Truro!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you going to wake up & realise that the days of Truro City paying big money for ex pros & challenging for league titles dissapeared with Kevin Heaney ! Everyone enjoyed the ride, however, the time has come to take 2 steps back in order to take 1 forward. Yes it probably will be another relagation battle & next year may be the same, but these young cornish players are gaining experience, working under a top manager & some of the best coaches in the county, & will improve given time & opportunity. Maybe, Teflon, if you are a real Truro supporter, you should be backing your clubs plans to get back to basics, & reallity !!!!! Good luck to Mark & Liam. I really hope you both stick with it & are given the chance you deserve !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Maybe kevin, & your right to a certain point, however truro supporters want a team that will compete whether thats pro's, ex pro's, locals or under 16's....at the moment it isnt happening. Im afraid & i might be wrong that the local boys aint nowhere near good enough, results prove that at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendronOfficial Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Every club want to be challenging. But you need to be realistic, Truro haven't got the pulling power. It's the same with the likes of Torquay, Exeter and Plymouth t a much higher level. Devon and Cornwall teams will never be at the top end of things because we are so far away from any major cities etc. Truro are only ever going to attract ex argyle players at best, if they are lucky. Things are now being done the correct way at Truro, and it may take a few years, but I'm sure they will come back stronger. I would really like to see Truro invest in their youth system. I'm not sure how close any youth teams are with the senior teams, but for me Truro should be looking to produce competitive youth teams from at least under 11s up to under 16s and 18s. Get some top quality youth coaches in there and look to invest in that side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 With the way that local clubs as well as pro clubs are heading these days, its refreshing to see Truro going down the self sustaining route and signing players like mark and Liam who in my eyes are now at the right level. Look what happened when Truro were paying wages their budget couldn't afford.....it may take a couple of years battling down the bottom end of the table but eventually if this group of players/managers/coaches ride it out, they will eventually rise back up as a united unit. Good luck to Truro and especially mark who I played against a couple years back and was amazed that Truro hadn't already come calling. Get behind them, that's what you do if you're a true fan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Regarding Truro, its nice to see the local youngsters given a chance. But can someone explain the roles of the, Manager Assistant Manager Coach Fitness coach Goalkeeping coach and exactly what all of these individuals add to the success of the team.

Smithy Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Manager:- deals with day to day running of club like finances,contacting other clubs regarding fixtures/friendlies, dealing with transfer targets, player contracts, the squad for the matchday and tactics as well as how to motivate players for pre match, half time post match etc. Assistant manager:- as title suggests, assists the manager in his decision making, also gives second opinion or if the manager is busy with other duties will take matchdays. Coach:- liaises with manager and assistant manager with regards to their tactics and implements those instructions to the players but normally with a higher/greater knowledge than the manager (9 times out of 10 the coach will be more knowledgeable of tactics/player positions than the manager and how to make player understand those tactics but quite often a good coach doesn't make a good manager due to man management skills or how to react during a game to change it with subs etc). Fitness coach:- this is someone who is especially vital for players during pre-season as the names a bit of a give away but during the season is where a fitness coach could be the difference, if your key player gets injured, having a good fitness coach will get them back to match fitness in the safest quickest way. Goalkeeping coach:- vitally important, teaches keepers to deal with different scenarios they face in a match, angles of crosses, positioning, shot stopping, decision making the list is endless. This is my personal view on what each roles duties will roughly cover :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my personal view on what each roles duties will roughly cover We're talking about Truro, not A C Milan! Manager- picks team and takes training. Assistant- shouts 'faster, further, higher, harder' to the players during training and says to keeper 'try catching the white thing'. That's about it.

Manager wise- listen to Hudgy (manager) unless Orchards (assistant) face was bright red, then listen to Orch. listen to Kev (manager) unless Squinny (assistant) was swearing excessively, then listen to Squin. listen to Alan Rundle (manager) as he was always bright red and swearing! listen to Trevor (manager) until he got his chalk board and counters out, then do what you think is right. But above all listen to the supporters in 'Moaners Corner', because they were the REAL authority on the beautiful game........................one in particular!

druth1966 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I must admit to not being a fan of Goldsworthy, mainly because of his misplaced arrogance. It's fair to say though that the boy will need time to adjust to the level of football he will be playing at. The worst thing he can do is return to his old club as he will regret not giving it a real go in years to come. Good on him for at least trying!

Smithy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Darren, if a chairman tells the manager how much he has in total per game to spend the manager then had to budget that to certain players as in who gets more or less so yea the manager does have to deal with finances in my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Oh and foes the manager not decide who his/her team face in fixtures at times like pre-season?

leedsunited Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 There are tho however, certain individuals in cornish football that have no financial outlay & spend a fortune, probably funds that a club has worked hard to generate in previous years, then walk away having won pittence & leave a big debt for the club to pick up!!!

leedsunited Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 What im implying is that some managers do have a huge say at some clubs what they have to spend.
