Piran Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 For the second week running, owing to the absence of a commentator, Steve Massey was alongside me, this week up on the gantry. Here are my highlights and, before anyone says anything, the colours is not as good as usual: condensation got behind the lens owing to the atmospheric conditions. We also have some behind the scenes footage at the start https://youtu.be/0d2CeeY30AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Decent highlights Steve seemed lot more reserved in his comments this week 😂 tough conditions and didn’t look the greatest game from helston you ever seen. Even Steve Massey said it was good job it was only bridport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer__ Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Steve is correct when he says they were lucky it was only Bridport. Helston looking one dimensional and Stu being substituted after another game on the wing didn’t look impressed Stu B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t know what he really brings you he not going to move around much . Better with bowker up there and I know he scored a header near the end but this was against a team millbrook put 12 past and Saltash 9.

Southwest football fan Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Good to see that Orlando starting and scoring another 2, lads finding some good form and getting his rewards... But can someone explain to me the one white sleeve he wears 🤣 I've noticed it on the last few games now. Good 6 nil win, can always say yeah other teams put more past them but the conditions looked awful to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian beale Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Bowker looked fuming coming off and you can understand it. Top goal scorer getting put out wide and for a new striker, probably the only position they didn’t need to strengthen.

Footy follower Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Watching the highlights.. And I understand it doesn't show the full game... But again Bowker looked fully involved in most of the good things that happened. So his substitution must've been because he was still in an offside position once 🙄 Stu B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Who actually making the decision about subs and tactics etc seeing as Massey in the stands doing commentary ? Is it Robinson ? No wonder wright never going to be subbed with his mate running the team. Stu B and Cornishbay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conditions were awful for the players and for us up in the gantry.

Helston have been at times a bit threadbare and lacked strength in depth and competition for places. I personally feel that the signings of Mike Searle, Jordan Bentley and Matty Wright was called for after losing 4 games on the bounce. They are experienced players who have played at a higher level and still have a lot to offer at this level. There is now a better mixture of youth and experience for Steve to call upon.

You will have seen Steve Massey speaking with Orlando before the game began and Orlando's response on the pitch. No idea about the white sleeve I'm afraid.

There was probably a case for giving the youngsters a chance in the second half - after the game was won - to go out and prove themselves in front of goal and boost their confidence. A number of them had been on the bench without getting much game time for many hours all told prior to this game. All credit to them and I'm glad their got their first goals in the Western League.

Fair point but if Steve is now next to you doing commentary who is making the in game decisions to bring these young players on yet still leave the oldest ones on ? and I’m not sure the players we’re quite the correct people to bring in you already had a guy that was your top scorer who you effectively shunted off to the wing a better option would have a been a different type of striker to play of bowker anyway still good to see the highlights very well done in difficult conditions fair play to you Stu B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Wonder who on earth thought that having Steve Massey providing commentary was a good idea (probably Mr Massey). It was, at times, like listening to somebody who keeps talking after accidentally dialling your number, and not realising you can hear them. mattelot, Town Fan, Blues10 and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is he seems to enjoy that more then actually managing the team. Almost like this is his way of passing on the mangers duties to Leigh . Would imagine that long term plan.
