sportsman10 Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, 100%cornish said: Curtis Damerell signing for St Austell i wonder if that means the end of Adam Carter there big mistake if it is he would be great in the Western League and hes my favourite player as well ,If Adam does leave i bet his next stop would be Plymouth Parkway again ,it could well be Liam Eddy leaving and he would be a good edition at Sticker to join the other ex St Austell players there and him and Tom Guest would be a good combination looking forward to being at Sticker Saturday week with my blind old dog Smokie . Sad i know but im getting excited about watching Newquay vs Ivybridge this Saturday 1PM KO Be good to see Wayne Gambles fine Ivybridge team who seem very good like Waynes Previous side MT GOLD was . So get yourselves up Newquay this Saturday to see Shauns new team with the new signings to early for JBE i expect Don’t think Carter enjoyed the travel with going into western league etc. certainly won’t be at parkway. He struggled in that league and again didht want to travel. Prob end up liskeard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Carter is probably good for 30 plus goals a season in the SWPL, which is a sad indictment of the quality of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railwayman in Exile Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Or shows what a good player Adam Carter still is and why he's in high demand though he might not be as mobile as he once was, but who is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think it’s a good thing that so many players get the opportunity to play a higher level then they would have played if they were born 10,20 years earlier , that being said you’ll see a lot more players play deep in to there 30’s because technically there still the best out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has proper warm up and warm down routines, not just blowing into their hands and a couple of short sprints. Most teams (even in the Western League) used to have one or two in their side who were carrying a bit of weight and didn't really run (not going to name them, but they were still really good footballers) and might have been partial to the odd cigarette. You just don't see them anymore. Thecupfootballblogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mention Ryan Richards though. Prolific striker, and scored a bigger range of goals than Carter. Richards can score from distance, and is also a big threat running in behind. Neither of which are strengths of Adam Carter. RAPPO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of which are strengths of Adam Carter. Never been keen on teams relying on one prolific striker for success, I’d rather have a team of 5/6 players who could hit double figures in a regular season, as your star striker could get injured, suspended, go out of form, plus opposition teams often have a successful plan to cancel them out. Fundamentally, a successful striker needs a good attacking team around them. Ryan Richards, as well as other good strikers needed it last season.

Buckland Jim Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 I can start to ease off the panicking, Buckland sign another two (Rafa Beadman from Exeter City and Frankie Jones a serving Royal Marine). Still need a few more signings in my eyes but at least the squad is taking shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see the stats of how many points Torpoint gained last season when Ryan Richards played, against how many when he didn't. Big difference I would think. 47 minutes ago, Buckland Jim said: I can start to ease off the panicking, Buckland sign another two (Rafa Beadman from Exeter City and Frankie Jones a serving Royal Marine).

Be good to be nice and **winners** rather than be bypassed by other ambitious clubs in Cornwall & Devon. I’d prefer you to enjoy the clubhouse once you’ve been beaten at Homers Heath!

Footy follower Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 They used to be Devon and Exeter league playing at a smaller(but still nice) ground.....I would say that top reaches of Western league playing in a self built stadium is nothing to be ashamed of Buckland Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its F A Cup on Saturday which should show which players are committing their allegiance to their first choice club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
