Gazer Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Good to see Truro F.C have kept most of the players from last season / with 5 players still to decide over the summer/ should keep for a settled team for the new season ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazer Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 17 minutes ago, CornishRhino said: Gazer, there is still a good chance some of those that are under contract could go before the season starts. As for those still to sign, I reckon most of them will sign on again. What I like this time around is that we are moving early to retain our players. In previous seasons it has taken us too long. I do hope the management duo now go and get some players signed early so we give ourselves the best possible chance of having another good season. Yes some might still go if other clubs come knocking on the door a long time till season starts yet / but good like you say that they are moving early to sort out the team for next season / we have got to be looking at playoffs again at least after the season we have just had but a few good teams have come into the league this time so a good strong team is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Its quite funny really. After two seasons of supporters begging,the owners of the football club to try and get players on some sort of longer contracts to ensure some compensation if they leave. We now have the owners with no option left with some players to get in early with contract offers ,trying to get them to sign before the vultures circle. If, and its a big if,those five players do sign contracts,then Truro would have most of last seasons squad together. Continuety,is what supporters have been saying is a big advantage,and after a couple of season's of loans and non- contract players,the penny has dropped. It bodes well for the new season.

Continuity, particularly a club at the level/position Truro are, is what they need. Like you said it bodes well for the new season. However, this season the players didn't play under any expectation. The difference is, next year they will do. Can they handle it?! Great shout,and a valid point. Everyone didnt expect TCFC to be anywhere near the play-offs this season. Next season everyone will be expecting at least play-offs. HUGE EXPECTATION TO LIVE UP TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUNTAINEER Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Not everyone expects the play offs next year, the competition will be harder, success would be to finish halfway say 11th, Dulwich should be mid table, Slough similar, Woking and Torquay above that, Concord Rangers have been busy already signing 7 or 8 players including Sam Beasant from Chelmsford, things are happening there, Wealdstone are another who appear to be getting stronger what we need to do is enjoy the higher grade football on offer, win, lose or draw, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOUNTAINEER Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I understand where Gazer and CornishRhino are coming from, we have a good team just short of what's needed to push ahead, that's where location rears it's ugly head, so far west many competing to the standard we require may not be prepared to endure the vast extra travelling City endure, unlike the teams bordering the big cities the required playing ability is a bit thin on the ground and it comes at a cost so where would the 2018/2019 budget come from? = Affordability.

He'll be missed by Truro I think as he was a key performer last season.

One PLUS Aaron has moved with a a sell on clause in his contract so if he were to hit the big time there could be future payouts to benefit Truro City.

Hayden is a young lad (20/21ish) came through Newquay youth teams and played for Hartpury College - whilst there also some game time for GCFC, but also played for Newquay in SWPL Prem (certainly at start of season - not sure if he played all season) Very quick winger To be honest very surprised to see him being mentioned at this level - a bit light weight and easily dominated - but there again he may we’ll have matured since I last saw him play, about 8 months ago - if he has, good luck to the lad and hope he makes a go of it.

Jimbo Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Bob, I think you mean "in your opinion" Hayden is lightweight and easily dominated. I for one disagree with that opinion. There are far more and many qualities that Hayden has "in my opinion" that you have failed to mention and to score 4 goals on a debut all be it a trial game is fantastic and outstanding so why see things as half empty when you can view them as half full. In the fullness of time we will all see what happens but I don't suppose too many players in Cornwall have scored 4 goals on a debut for a team at he level Truro is currently playing at.

Fanfare Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 He may have scored four goals for a team that "plays at the level Truro play at" but they were playing significantly lower ranked opposition. If he scored four in a league game for Truro, that's a feat worth noting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's celebrate that fact not belittle it. Jumbo - you are right, it is in my opinion and as I said I wish Hayden all the best - the bit you didn’t quote. I have also watched Hayden (and his age group - of whom I do actually (IMO) think there are better players) for 10 years since coming through Newquay Youth - however have not seen him play for the last 8 months. At that time, in my opinion, he was as I described him - Fanfare makes a good point about the opposition for a team of Truro’ s level - that said it would be nice to see him given a chance to play against higher level teams and defenders - at which point I would be more than happy to be proved wrong and see a Cornish lad playing for Truro.

Jimbo Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks for your comments Bib. In my opinion I feel that people are far too negative in voicing their opinions about a player who scores 4 goals on his debut for Truro. I suppose Hayden could have scored all 5, what then, he should have scored 6? I never asked for your opinion about other players and if those other players don't have ambition then are they the right players for Truro? Hayden may or may not progress with Truro but I for one applaud his ambition and say well done for his terrific debut and I hope he is able to prove those pessimistic people wrong.
