I'm going to go along to this one, I reckon St Austell might get their season going against the PSG of the peninsula League, i obviously have nothing to base that on, just hoping for good competitive match. 

[baldy]

I think you will be greatly disappointed then.

You might well be heading for a Stoke Gabriel moment!

Parway  5   St A   1

Could have been double figures today if the strikers had their shooting boots on. Very difficult conditions for both teams, but Parkway played controlled passing footy all game. Well deserved win today and a pleasure to watch.

St.Auste££ in the bottom two, can anybody save them & get some sort of respectability back in at Poltair?

[Bruegel the Elder]

I reckon that they'll storm the west division next year.

 I still reckon that they will be in the top six at the close of the season very early days as yet ! The finances are there to buy players if needed unlike some other clubs.

[Bobjfh]

Fan or otherwise of St Austell they have some of the best players in the SWPL in their squad - it's just not working at the moment.

They are lacking the quality in midfield they have elsewhere - my one concern for them though is that I have (very reliably) heard what a team close to the heart of a couple of their players is paying in signing on and per match - may drag a couple away??

Unfortunately, the finances are not there 

[Hetty]

St Austell will finish mid table in my opinion. Im sure they will get it together. As for Parkway it's certainly been a good start and you have to place them as favourites, however Trophy's arnt handed out in September, it's a long season. 

[leedsunited]

They are now the yardstick, the side we are all chasing. They are setting the standard like we did at Bodmin for many years. Some big bucks at Poltair Nanks, your forgetting the committee tried to 'woo' Gilby to the post!

[Hetty]

Leeds I don't think Bodmin should be worried about what parkway do. Perhaps you should just worry about getting into the top half.  

[leedsunited]

No worries of that Hetty, I am just bored of people saying Parkway are spending this, or Parkway have a big squad, its all jealousy. We had it for years at Bodmin, & we still do. All I am saying is Parkway have set the standard, lets all try & match them, not knock them

[Hetty]

I wasn't knocking them. Was simply saying long way to go yet. 

[gingerninja]

St Austell are doing a Chelsea under Mourinho ala 2015/16. It's hard to pull it back from this. Cracking result from Parkway. Getting better and better with each game COYY

[KPH]

Early days. Give the new management a chance. A combination of injuries, suspensions and a wedding all in the first part of season haven't enabled any consistency in selection to happen. A new formation being tried and it takes time to get a full understanding of playing in a different shape. Too many good players not to get back on track although top four which was the minimum expectation will be difficult to achieve.

KPH, why were we not allowed that excuse at Bodmin, we lost 9 players in the close season & was just expected to pick up & walk the league like years gone by.....not thinking about lads taking time to gel, what side in any league just gets put together & wins a league? Unless obviously you have big big money & just overload with quality to stop other teams signing them on!

[KPH]

You didn't get that criticism from me. In my opinion what Gilby has done season after season is amazing and his rebuilt side this season is further testament to his ability. I hope they perform on Wednesday and fly the flag alongside Truro for Cornwall.

Would that be Helston by any chance ?

[S Abbo]

Money  or no money  .. chasing players each season and competing like bodmin do deserves credit.
