Atherton LR Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 After Newquay's stunning injury time winner, rumours were strong in the Buckland camp that Craig Duff was sacked immediately after the game. Then this was posted on their website. "Following club discussions after todays FA Vase home defeat to Newquay AFC, Buckland Athletic Football Club have parted company with Player-Manager Craig Duff, the club would like to thank Craig for his effort and committment during his time in charge. A further annoucement will be made in due course" Speaking to Bucks supporters before the game, it was noted how poor the team were, with one saying Newquay will win today. The following performance proved them correct. Despite dominating the opening half hour, once Newquay realised the Bucks had nothing up front, the more confident the Peppermints became. Buckland offered nothing up front. For me, who follows both clubs, I am happy with the result of the game, and the outcome of Duff being canned.

SWL Veteran Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I’m sure there will be a queue of clubs after Duff - still a top player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, hopefully he gets another club. Play for as long as the legs are willing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky170267 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 There seems to be a lot of very average players at the club and that simply has been their downfall.... I guess it’s not just about One game, it’s about lots of average results and performances lately !! The club need somebody like Wayne Hillson or Danny Lewis to go in and freshen things up Good luck to Buckland, it’s been a bad year for them so far for various reasons. A great club and fantastic people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlestrop Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Steve Massey ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyberrygull Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just heard the news myself, not surprised either. Another cosy appointment or do they go for somebody similar to Steve Massey again? If the southern league is their next target the latter would make more sense to me, but what do I know about it. Are there any candidates in Cornwall capable of recruiting a team good enough to win the Western League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyberrygull Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 No, No, No... I wouldn’t want the club to go though what TUFC fans have had to endure for 12 months. In all seriousness, a Somerset/Bristol/Cornish based manger ought to be a consideration given the progress made by Parkway and Willand, both tapping in the pool of fit for purpose players living in Devon.

Ian Pethick Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Buckland are a club with a Southern League set up and a very ambitious chairman, can see them going big in their next appointment with a proven manager from higher leagues. Peter Beadle (three consecutive promotions with Hereford is available), Lee Hodges (ex Truro and lives in the area )is also between jobs.

teflon123 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Buckland don't have the money that Willand have and certainly nothing compared to what Parkway have. Great club with a decent set-up. Heard 3 people mentioned tonight who the club are looking to speak to - Adam Kerswell, Kevin Hill & Kevin Miller.
