Promotion Hopes? No chance.

[ParkwayPieEater]

Having watched Parkway's home games so far it is clear to see that the standard of football is a jump up in level from the peninsula league. Even the likes of Saltash would definitely struggle in this league over a full season. Players like Sam Farrant in their team would be outclassed and outmuscled. It would be like men against boys out there. Looks at Glyn Hobbs for example. He clearly couldn't handle the physicality of the western league centre backs. (Or the speed of them). - Hopefully the time he is saving from travelling he will putting to good use losing some of that belly fat. #wedon'twantyouback

 

Lastly, the manager's wouldn't cut the step up either as the tactics in the peninsula league are non-existent and the western league clearly has an emphasis on team unity rather than hoping a rich owner comes in to buy the league for them.

No Paul I wasn't saying it's too much of  step up for Parkway. Did you see us the other night? one word; Dominant.  I was highlighting the clear difference in level between Parkway and all the other teams left behind in the peninsula.

I have every certainty that parkway will be going up again this season. And any team that comes up from peninsula will be staring relegation in the face before they have even kicked a ball.

you dont want hobbs aback  because he put on weight ? 

bit harsh on a player who got you in that league 

[ParkwayPieEater]

I personally think he is overrated. Especially in a better league with more intensity he would be nothing more than a dead weight who scores a few one touch finishes over throughout the season. If he wasn't too tired to stroll in to the box that is

Have to agree about Farrant, I think he'd be replaced if Saltash did go up. Still think Hobbs has a couple years left and is still a class act.

On the subject of the managers - do you really believe no current Peninsula manager could manage in the Western League? Look at what the Falmouth manager has achieved in recent years. Cusack at Saltash is very well respected, and Massey at Helston has previously managed in far higher leagues!!! 

I do agree with some points mentioned but you do seem a bit naive to think Parkway are certain to be going up again. Give it a few months and a few defeats and the players will be dropping back to the mickey mouse league that we all (myself included) love to follow.

Parkway will be fine and should do well in that league.  Management pairings compliment each other and squad is full of talent.  Glynn was a huge loss to them but Yetton and Carter not that bad a replacements!

I have been to Parkway's home games this season. They have too much quality for it to be in doubt. Come end of the season if Parkway aren't lifting the league trophy or at least going up I would be shocked.

In relation to Hobbs, maybe his quality on the ball shouldn't be questioned but his overall contribution to the game is not enough to be viable at a higher standard. 

Don't know much about Cusack, and yes it's true Massey has higher level experience but his stint at Truro was a disaster. You can put a clown on the touchline and say they have 'higher level experience'.

In fairness to Parkway Pie Eater, this post clearly mentioned Peninsula clubs, players and managers in the opening message, and the problems they would face should any of them get promoted. Making these posts (which I and I'm sure many others find interesting) is of course going to draw comparisons between multiple leagues. If you have no interest in higher leagues, or no respect for local clubs with ambition then maybe you should bog off back to that stone you're living under.

[teflon123]

Only have to look at how many times Peninsula League Clubs dump Western League Clubs out of the Vase and other Cups.

Apart from maybe 3-4 teams who are decent and always seem to up towards the top of that league, the other teams are very much average and the League is all about location and not standard.

Glynn Hobbs would walk into any team in the Western League. If Mike Smith is scoring hatricks against teams in that league (that is no disrespect to Mike Smith) then Glynn Hobbs could easily do the same.

[THE BALD ONE]

I am sure the pie eater is a wind up. He seems very disrespectful and his views are his own not Plymouth Parkways .

We have played 5 league games so far and 2 of the teams are just as good , if not a little better than us . So definite promotion is not set in stone .

There are several teams in the Peninsula premier div that would do more than fine from what I have seen so far.

Please do not fuel this guys fire. ( Would also like to know if this guy would tell Mr Hobbs to his face what he thinks of him ) ?

PieEater, on behalf of Plymouth Parkway FC I would like to invite you to speak the our clubs Vice Chairman, Mr. Gez Baggott.

Mr. Baggott's contact number can be found in the League handbook, or if this is not available to you , you can contact me directly through this forum and I will happily put you in touch.

Alternatively Mr. Baggott will happily discuss your comments at our next home fixture.

[Rob1978]

Clearly this is a wind up account. The top 5 or 6 clubs on the swpl would all do well in the Western League. Tavistock are aiming for promotion this season which is great. Are any other clubs? Saltash have spoken about wanting to play at a higher level; have attracted more sponsors and are more media savvy. But would they take the  step up this year if given the chance? Can anyone from the club shed any light on this? They are a club that belongs at that level.

[gingerninja]

Clearly a troll on a par with Big Al, just out for a wind up. I've watched Parkway's last 2 games and can say the level isn't too dissimilar to that of SWPL. I think clubs akin to Tavistock and Saltash would cope perfectly fine in the Western League, and would probably be pushing for promotion. There are a couple teams who are at a better level than the SWPL, with Parkway being one of them. I would be very interested to see more SWPL clubs take the step up and properly challenge themselves. As a Parkway fan though, I must add this joker doesn't represent the fan base on a whole, neither the views of the club. COYY

Don't think anyone can doubt Carter is a solid like for like replacement - a physical goal scorer but perhaps not the best fitness levels around. Would take the lad Annear at Falmouth over both to be honest, although maybe he is another local player with a lack of ambition - or a fear of failing in a new team.....

[Soccerkid]

Or perhaps the lad Annear can’t commit to the extra traveling that parkway are undertaking this year doesn’t mean he lacks ambition

Carter has lost quite a bit of weight and looks much fitter than before

I'm not sure, I wasn't saying they had asked him. I'm sure some other managers would prefer a young, fit goal machine to an ageing out of shape goal machine.

Wasn't making any accusations, just essentially questioning why he would still be at Falmouth when he has the talent and has probably been offered the opportunity to progress to a bigger club at a higher standard for more money, whether it be Tiverton or someone else.

If you are real -  join the Plymouth Parkway Supporters Club - a well organised group of supporters who have many differing views, on all sorts of matters affecting the club and share those views, at regular meetings held with the officers of the club. Step out into the open and have real discussions with like minded people.

The fact hes gone to Tiverton for a trial or whatever suggests that he has the ambition to move on up... and the fact hes back at Falmouth also probably suggests he didnt make it at that level.... would probably be worth a shot for Parkway to snap him up whilst hes still around

Nothing wrong at all with have differing opinions on players, matches, tactics or even pasties. As someone once said, everybody sees a different match. Don't hide behind a keyboard and an alias though, turn up at matches and supporters club meetings, have a conversation, disagree, argue even, but respect the other persons views and move on. Don't try and whip up unsupported controversy on forums (although, judging by the response to this thread it seems to be working).

[sportsman10]

Wouldn’t say annear didn’t make it at Tiverton he probably thought he not going to get any game time infront of Levi or Tom bath and decided at his age to have another season with Falmouth. Very smart move. Parkway should be looking at him tho as a replacement for yetton at some point in future.

If you were capable of reading correctly, you would see that a large part of this forum is based around opinions of CURRENT peninsula teams' chances if they went up. 

I'm sure people do care about these topics, otherwise this entire website would not exist. The only chance you will have of seeing Parkway in a few yeas is if you go to watch their league derbies against the likes of turo and torquay.
