Guest tom@white tigers Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Oh it really was a great game. The fans really got behind the team for the first time in ages we were really singing our hearts out. A few fiery challenges here and there and the odd card but some fantastic goals to entertain the big crowd. The pitch lasted the 90 minutes but the goalmouth was a bit worse for wear, needed a beachball rather than a football. 3 well taken goals after some brillient assists to go with it. Each player played there part today and it showed. Super to have all the fans back in full voice i wish it was like that every week. A real treat to watch and will not be forgotten any time soon. Well on our way back to Wembely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Truro should have won much more comfortably considering the clear cut chances made. Bideford showed plenty off fight, too much at times, but City were the better side and it will take a very good side to stop them.

Well on our way back to Wembely. That's funny - I didn't hear the Truro fans start singing until after an hour! Well done to Truro - the better side definitely won today, but we gave them a hell of a fight, and if keeper Griffiths last minute header from a corner had been on target...... Alternatively, I guess, what if Truro had taken a couple more of the chances they had in the first 20 minutes - it could have been all over before half time. Oh, and what an excellent player Joe Broad is. -- Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allforone1889 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Saturday saw one of the best performance's of the season as they booked their place in the last 16 of the competition with a hard fought victory against fellow Western League side Bideford. Both teams were well supported by their fans as the attendance topped 1,000, City stormed from the starting blocks and Dean Stamp saw his goal bound effort cleared off the line after seven minutes. However City did take the lead on 17 minutes after good work from Chris Reski on the left found Yetton's who's cross found record signing Stamp to slot home from three yards. Bideford started to get into the tie but lacked a killer instinct in front of goal, but with in two minutes of the restart Bideford were awarded a free kick which was converted by Lee Groves from 25 yards with Chapman given no chance. City then began to once again take the game by the throat and with the creative Broad and Reski working tirelessly regained the lead on 59 minutes when Yetton saw his effort blocked by Griffiths but Reski put the ball into the top of the net to send the crowd wild. With 13 minutes on the clock left Captain Joe Broad scored a screamer from 30 yards, but the game wasn't dead and Bideford new signing Jamie Densham pulled a goal back five minutes from time but City saw out the game to record their victory and await Monday's draw.

Marcus Martin didn't have much time to make an impact. Dean Stamp is a quality striker, Exeter City young player of the year but does need time to settle. I thought he played really well. Jason Chapman had a decent game and has a really good season with many clean sheets. Sam Matthews has grabbed his first team place with both hands and is playing really well. "Baldie at the back" is Greame Power who is also top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest calcox Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i heard a rumour that only 11 players have been offered pro, the rest are basically free to do as they wish. not sure what players they are. watched yesterdays game, great entertainment, was actually cheering both sides as previously played for biddy's 2nds a for a couple of seasons back awhile, and what truro is doing as a cornishman is great,( don't get me wrong, i think they were very underhanded in the way they done it). the game it self was top quality, although broad was captain, smith much more vocal and seemed like the leader. going forward truro are going to have strenghen a bit. admittely no ash yesterday but another defender is needed, and i also think a big striker, lots of pace upfront but no one to feed off, and chapman is not good enought at that level, again the other keeper is coming back from injury and will do the job well.

Mike Odgers Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Upshire Watch out for Whitley Bay and Dunstan Federation(Brewery)(Northern League 1. Level 5) another club from the same league Consett earned a replay and are fancied. I remember them(DFB) beating St. Blazey (our top Cornish team of the day) 5-1 at Blaise Park a few years back in the Vase. Didn't they come out in short sleeved shirts to intimidate?
