SWL Veteran Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Bodmin got another win last night and showing they can beat any team from outside top 6 ( 7 out of 7 wins) but coming unstuck BIG TIME against any decent side (Falmouth-Tavy-St Austell). However with a squad coming back to fitness - are they going to win the race for 2nd?? Bodmin will have a spine of Harvey - Ash - Colwell and Hobbs!! Add the likes of Kai Fisher - Ed Timmons (defence back to the level expected and fit) and midweek guests like Shane Krac - I’m backing them to improve their record against the big boys and grab 2nd against all odds!! Tavi - Won the league for me Other 2nd place contenders - Exmouth (a bit of the unknown but great start and not conceding) St Austell (had a horrific fixture list and showed class last weekend vs parkway) Falmouth (dropping points against poor sides following big wins - inconsistency will hurt them?) Saltash - always the bridesmaid and already dropped points (e.g Stciker aka whipping boys at present) Views welcome from others but I’m going for..... Tavy Bodmin St Austell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretscout Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 From speaking to my old friend Andy who was at the Bodmin game last night, he said they were very lucky to get that win and had Callington been more clinical, they could have snatched a win there. So doesn't sound too convincing. I agree, Tavistock look the team to beat this and with their players having the experience of doing it before, that sets them ahead of their rivals at present (Argyle, Saltash, Exmouth, St Austell).

Fanfare Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Bodmin will grind out results and have many games in hand which could cost them if we have weather like last season. Argyle will fall away when other teams catch up with them on games played. Tavistock look to be the team to beat. St Austell have stumbled to some heavy defeats and along with the inconsistent Falmouth results Bodmin must be rubbing their hands together. Saltash too if they win tonight.

Martin Cook Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 League shaping up nicely .I can only comment onExmouth ,but we have two big games coming up in the League Saltash tonight then St Austell on the 27th both away . That will tell you where we will be . It makes for an interesting time in this League this season. Oh yes and we are enjoying the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbarry Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 With Argyle 1st team having many injuries there swpl side are still doing well, when they start getting players back it should only make the swpl side stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how you arrived at that conclusion bigbadbarry. in their SWPL home game against Sticker last Saturday their team included 3 x first team players and several pros we're told. We don't think any returning acadamy players will strengthen the team, could even have the opposite affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Veteran Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Just think Bodmin have a top side on paper - stronger than last year on paper but seem to be missing something or someone who can galvanise them!!! They haven’t found it hard scoring goals -and with the vast majority of SWPL defenders scared of Glynn Hobbs - i think they will get a shed load!! just need to get Jake Ash back fit and the defensive steel associated with Bodmin will return- along with some victories!! Hoping for a Snozzle v Bodmin Senior Cup Final too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt u have ever played against him I have, there is no doubt of his ability he is a top top player and if he was not off his rocker I am sure he could have made it as a pro easily, but if things are not quite going his way he won't think twice about doing you wether it be on or off the ball.

leedsunited Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Bodmin were relegation favourite's here not so long ago, so would take mid table this year as it's a new team consolidation, as we are competing with teams who have been together a very long time like Saltash, Tavistock, St.Austell, Newquay, whereas we had 6/7 leave, & the same amount come in, takes time to gel the team together, so we shouldn't be anywhere near the teams above us if they are established teams & been together a long time? It's all about avoiding relegation to the 'Fish & Chip Shop' league where you have club linesman, teams who don't turn up to fixture's etc ?

Always interests me when people bring up his disciplinary record... im sure its not perfect but very few are. Dont hear anyone talking about that Newquay striker who keeps getting sent off every other game, probably because hes not tearing defences apart week in week out. Love him or hate him (as a lot of people do on here) hes probably the best striker in the league and would walk into virtually any side in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some jumped-up newbie sticks a hashtag in front of runninghiswordstogether it’s nigh on hilarious (do hashtags have any function on the forum!)! It’s not Twitter, methinks you’re mixing your (social) media. To the point; the sooner we see a red card for every foul utterance the better. After a very short period of abandoned games and huge fines, it would soon settle down, and we could go back to taking our children and grandchildren to games. Gates would increase and football clubs might stop folding. It’s worth a try, after all, the current situation isn’t working so well. Incidentally I am no Bodmin/Gilby hater, they just happen to be a good example of the problem. There are many others almost as bad, throughout the game. And no, it hasn’t always been like that. Like an insidious cancer it has been growing over recent decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
