Truro City consolidate play-off place


Recommended Posts

◄Today's Matches►

FT Bideford (0) 0 6 (2) Poole Town
FT Cirencester Town (0) 0 1 (0) Paulton Rovers
FT Hungerford Town (1) 2 0 (0) Weymouth
FT Truro City (1) 2 0 (0) Chippenham Town

A 2-0 home win over 13th placed Chippenham ensures Truro maintain their play-off prospects and with Weymouth losing again, they join them and Corby on same points. Really looking now that play-off place race between top 6 only!

It's more of a guess it's him rather than anybody actually knowing apart from PM himself and maybe a couple of others.

 

Dave, I think Truro are playing some quality football at the moment, and the results are showing that. We need to keep playing like this home and away, regularly picking up points along the way, ensuring that if we don't win the league (which is still mathematically possible but won't happen), that we finish either 2nd or 3rd so we get a home play off semi final.

Great shame that no one is talking about how well they're doing on the pitch with promotion play-off looking fairly certain now!

CERTAIN.!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thats a statement.

 

Possibly, but I get fed up with people sitting on the fence or non-committal - somehow, from having played more games than others, Truro have got themselves in a very good position and their fate is in their own hands.

 

4 points ahead of Hungerford, 6 in front of Redditch who do have a game in hand admittedly, and forget anyone lower!  :ph34r:

 

They have a few toughies to come at home - Poole, Weymouth and presumably Corby, but when you're on a run, the results come whatever!

I agree Dave. Now is the time to focus on the football. I view Truro as currently being 'top' of the battle for fourth place in the league. Few of the performances this month have been particularly sparkling over 90 minutes, but there have been sufficient flashes of good play and the result have come nonetheless. There seem to be less signs of the vulnerability at the back that dogged us earlier in the season. Ahead of the season, I expected that we'd finish in the lower reaches of the top ten, but now a play-off place looks a tantalisingly realistic proposition (but not a cut-and-dried one)...

Sparkling performances come with Premiership grade pitches,  in the lower football leagues carpet football as seen on TV would be hard to perform, I think taking everything into consideration Truro City have their moments of skill linked with a lot of effort and a game plan that. doesn't leave us vulnerable to a sucker punch, the form table covering each teams last 15 games sees Truro City top having won 11 drawn 1 & losing just 3. With tough battles in the Southern League there is solidness about the team in both effort and spirit - well worth a visit.

Its so interesting the antics off field though. Waiting to see the final figures when its all dusted and divvyed up.

You know the song, all together....its all about the money, money, money.

I never had you down as a Jessie J fan!!  :thumbsup:

Jessica Cornish aka Jessie J. 

My bad, I looked at the lyrics to Price Tag and it goes "It's NOT about the money" - I thought it was something else. I thought that was the song you were referring to.

Good grief! This argument between "The 7" and the Club's Chairman has really got out of hand. I can only comment on the basis of what I've heard and read but one thing stands out: that the bans imposed were out of all proportion to the incident and the Chairman needs to stand up like a man and admit he has over-reacted. The West Briton photo showed a man holding the smoke flare. No densely packed crowd, no evident danger to any other people, plenty of room to get out of the smoke if anyone wanted to. If, as seems evident, the Chairman knew in advance about the smoke then he is culpable. The things are illegal and he therefore abetted an illegal act and is as much to blame as the person who let it off. If the man who burst into the boardroom has apologised, then that should be enough. If, as has been claimed, the Dunstable club itself and the officials of that club saw no reason to complain about the incident then Truro City should take no action. If the banned supporters are not getting replies to correspondence then that is completely unreasonable of Truro City. One has to ask, why are seven banned when one(presumably) lit the thing, another (apparently) picked it up and held it and one burst into the boardroom. That's three. If the other four are banned for complicity, then there should be a fifth - the Truro Chairman - if he knew about it in advance but did nothing to stop it happening.

I have witnessed the enthusiasm and commitment of TISA at away games. Why the Truro Chairman would want to disaffect this group of fantastically loyal fans - which the players obviously appreciate - is beyond me, but without knowing every fact or truth and bearing in mind the many "ifs" in my comments, it seems much blame for the situation lies with Mr Masters.

I have seen calls for a meeting between the two factions. It seems one side - the "7" - want this but as there does not seem to be any reports of such a meeting taking place, one has to conclude that the Club is the intransigent party.

Such a shame, when the results on the pitch have been so encouraging. I'm sure part of the reason for home attendances being poorer than expectations is that some fans of football living in Cornwall don't want to watch a Club with such unpleasant goings-on back-stage.

 

Such a shame.

Just about sums it up.
