To score 60 goals in any standard of football is a great achievement and I have no doubt if truro were a top half side creating chances he would have a hatfull of goals in this league.I would imagine he is possible struggling with his confidence a bit but I am sure he will eventually come good if he stays with truro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Its a massive step up for the lad.Just because he scored a hat full of goals in a lower league,dont guarantee him a automatic place ,at this level The way Truro play,is not suiting Rocky,but this boy gives 100% when he is on the pitch. Very important Rocky dont chuck the towel in.He has the ability to succeed at this level but has a lot to learn . His time will come,The fans love him,and are behind him all the time. Had a similar situation with Liam Eddy,he choose to chuck the towel in and went to St Austell. Think Rocky has a bit more ambition to make it at this level.

herbie777 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I agree he has plenty of ambition and confidence but I have known and watched him since he was 11 and most importantly for him I would think is game time. Who the hell wants to travel God knows how many miles then sit on your backside for 75 minutes, possibly someone whose sole interest is money but not someone who loves playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin cottrell Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Every footballer should have the ambition to play in the highest league possible,scoring hat fulls of goals in a league your far too good for is a cop out ,from what I've seen of rocky this season is promising he's young and hungry but gets frustrated as he comes up against some very tall,strong resilient defences in this league,I'm sure he will get his head down work hard and change his game to suit but that comes with gaining experience it doesn't happen at a drop of a hat,give him chance,as for travelling long distances behave yourself it's part and parcel of being a success,looks like he may get his chance seeing as les came off injured on Saturday and could be out for a few weeks so let's hope rocky takes his chance and keeps this little run going,very skillfull if he adapts his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUNTAINEER Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 At last the team are sorting their tactics out defensively, what we need now to suit Rocky's style of play is for that to be extended with more support coming forward, it is a lot to ask a lone youngster to carry the scoring hopes for the rest of the team but it is coming, there are signs of more support breaking from midfield since changing to a 3 - 5 - 2 formation although that tends to look more like 3 - 5 - 1 - 1. at times. We are fortunate to have Tom McHale at one end and Rocky Neal at the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbie777 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Several of u have said he's a youngster he is now 22 or 23 if he was 18 I would take your point, he is an exceptional footballer he can use both feet and he has an incredibly quick football brain, play him with up top with a big man and he will score goals no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin cottrell Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Unfortunately Rory fallon let him down being the big man to play off as he turned out to be not fit for Sunday league and created nothing so unless Truro sign a big forward to suit then rocky needs to adapt accordingly and reinvent his game like you said he has the skill,when he came on against Wealdstone and Truro started playing the ball on the floor and used the channels,rocky and Niall were unplayable,but I still think hodges is still finding his best 11 and what system to play but the last 3 games are a improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prazeyrunner Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I would have loved to have seen Rocky with Vass, we never had any one with the pace to keep up with Vass so he often was left isolated waiting for help. Rocky would have been up there. But that's not going to happen now sadly. Lets hope that Fallon does not come back in to the team. At least the other two New Zealanders look like they will be useful?

Rayvon Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Older only has to dangle his little worm in the water and they jump in, that boat will come in handy though when the new Stadium gets built at Malpas Park. He will be up there Saturday afternoons retrieving the balls out of the river and taking them back to PAFC. Good news for Rocky though he should be back in the starting line up against Frome on Saturday, another easy 4k for the Truro City Coffers. Just for your information Older City are no longer 3.8 million in debt as the CVA has been cleared in full so you can cross that one off your list lol. Full credit to the owners and all involved in achieving this. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch line pro Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Rocky Neale is a class act if you know football. His off the ball work rate when Truro don't have the ball is relentless and when they have the ball his runs are intelligent. The trouble is he is always having to fight with a big central defender as the service he receives is never in the channels where he can exploit practically any defender in the league. Last year I saw him a fair bit at Bodmin and he had a very good understanding with the young wing/full back Nick Hurst who put balls through for him to outpace the defence or hard pacy crosses at the near post. To get the best out of rocky start playing to his strengths and then I promise you just watch the goals fly in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JENGLE Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I agree with the above comment. Rocky Neal is a class act and works hard on and off the ball. If anything, more so than any other player. Like you said, he needs the balls to be played in the right channels, and they aren't that much at Truro. Get Nick Hurst at Truro City I say. Good young player who I've seen play a few times, and he'll only get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch line pro Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nick Hurst is at Tiverton this season, might be a good addition for next season. I've been told he was approached by Truro pre season but Martin Rogers was very persuasive and talks broke down when Steve Tully left. There is still an abundance of young talent in this area which is very often overlooked.Rocky Neale,River Allen,Cody Cook have all played in the SWPL and have grabbed the opportunity with both feet as it were,it would be nice to see some more local talent tested at this level. I appreciate managers are under pressure to get results it's just my opinion that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JENGLE Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Around January is where you need to start signing players down to contracts for the following season. But yes, you are right Touch line pro. Nick Hurst is a very good player I think, and whilst it would be a big step up I'd like to see how he'd do in a Truro shirt. Hopefully one day he'll get the chance to show what he can do here. There aren't a huge amount of players in the SWPL that could play for Truro, no disrespect to any players at all. But yes, there are some. You've just got to be clever and find the real gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 The trouble is with TCFC,no one knows what the future holds,and here lies the problem,with keeping the big smokescreen around the Club. How can players commit,when they dont even know ,what pitch they will be playing on,next season. Just think if Truro could plan ahead,and offer young talent like,Tom McHale,Charlie Hardcastle,River Allen,Cody Cooke,Jack Crago,Rocky Neal.and Nick Hurst,and build around those players for the long term future of the Club. You could even persuade them with two year contracts. But we all know what is happening with the finanaces at Truro,and this will never happen.
