Not even July yet. Think that Helston under Matt Cusack will be better organised on the pitch, and a more attractive destination for players. Their meetings with Falmouth in the league are no doubt eagerly awaited. Town Fan and mattelot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Helston do need strikers desperately . They have got rid of bowker and veil or Massey did. . Not sure what Matt wright doing I assume his short stint at club over. Tucker and buchan who started there last season all gone. matt must be desperate for a striker. Who out there ?? Jennings staying at Bodmin it seems. It be interesting to hear if Matt cusuck would have let bowker go. Stu B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourhavingalaugh Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Mousehole have tended to sign promising young players in the past with a few seasons under their belt, signing an experienced 37 year old either hints at a change of direction or the importance of getting some experience in the squad.

Its all ok to have a ground and facilities ( although it would seem they have huge difficulties with the playing surface ) that score 5 stars on trip advisor or a pitch aka Penryn that would take Gold at the Chelsea flower show but at the end of the day you are a football club and it’s getting it right on the pitch that counts. Buckland seem to have become stuck in a quagmire and I believe that Adam Castle lives and works in Ireland so don’t quite see how that works.

No idea of what Dan Hart's or Bowker's plans are, and what budget is available, but what would have thought that Buckland would be an ideal destination for him. Close to where he lives, a statement signing who is proven at step 5 level and a real 100% commitment character who can get the supporters and team mates going.

Pitch is much improved nowadays after all the money spent on it. Could be better in places but no doubt the groundsmen are working to rectify it. Hopefully I can get to as many home matches as possible this season if work and other football supporting duties allow and see the boys finish higher than last season. Maybe a push for top 6?

Think that Matt Cusack, as an accomplished coach, will have a good look at what he has inherited in pre season training and matches. A few key areas need strengthening, but sure he will apply a bit more thinking to who comes in rather than the scatter gun approach that went before.
