Philheybrookbay Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Shepton Mallet 1 Saltash United 1 Really saw the metal of the lads today in a tough bruising encounter. With Jordan Duffy, Harrison Davis and Callum Watson coming off with injuries it gives some idea of the game. Game ended with 15 mins injury time added on. Great club Shepton Mallet and good to chat at some length to John Pool Western League Chair and Malcolm Prance vice chair about all things restructuring although no real news forthcoming.

John Thomas Allcock Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Its remarkably quiet from the Falmouth contingent on here. Is that now 4 games without troubling the net ?? Temporary blip or a deficit in the squad ? Genuinely interested to hear opinions silly billy and Buckland Jim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely interested to hear opinions From listening to Andy Westgarth on the CS Podcast (recorded immediately after the home defeat to Saltash), it sounded like he had a seriously depleted squad due to player unavailability in school half term week (and didn't sound best pleased about it). Would guess that this carried on into the Millbrook game. 4 games, 4 losses, 0 goals scored is quite a crash in form though (regardless of playing strength), especially after the previous run of 6 wins in 6 league games they were on.

Injuries and half term unavailability's due to holiday period has made it a very difficult period with 4 losses on the bounce however the spirit in the camp is unbreakable and we will bounce back soon. Really looking forward to our Les Philips cup tie with Helston tomorrow evening, what a match to get things back on track.

It has served them well during the last 6 or 7 seasons as performance levels have steadily increased. Would count this year as a further improvement in holding their own in a higher league. Ground improvements to do in the close season followed by a concerted effort to recruit some more players of quality for the next campaign. No point in panicking and throwing the money around trying to match other Cornish clubs this season. Let's hope the Town can upset the form book tonight in their fifth meeting of the season with Helston.

Probably clear that the squad needs strengthening over the summer, but hope that the younger players (who will be all the better for a season of Western League football) are allowed to develop further. Will be an interesting summer with one more Cornish club looking to recruit step 5 ready players to make recruitment more dfficult, and some players at a club that makes the move to step 4 (Mousehole or Saltash) possibly opting to remain at this level with other teams. Looking on from afar, and with no skin in the game, does look like Falmouth need a big name focal point in attack to replace JBE, and become new cult hero for the F-Troop to get behind. Names that spring to mind, all reasonably local and proven at this level would be Mark Goldsworthy(possibly a fringe player at Mousehole when everybody is available), Matt Buchan (not got going at Tiverton, currently on loan at perennial strugglers Bideford) and, a real long shot, Liam Prynn (if he can be prised away from Tavistock). mattelot, The Town Man and Jeff Chambers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i'm biased but playing at Bickland Park in front of the biggest crowds in the Western League with the F-Troops unrivalled support would make me crawl over broken glass to be there. Especially if i was a striker. I guess every player has his own agenda whether it be money, GPS vests or whatever. Our youngsters are developing nicely at Western league level and if we need strengthening in the summer the Westy will act. All i know is in the last 5 years Falmouth Town are Cornwalls most successful football club and historically no club can match our trophies.

Hands of Liam Prynn! Hopefully he’d not be interested in playing football in a lower league! There’s been enough upheaval at Tavi of late. Stability and Prynn needed there. Not sure I agree with the characterisation of Goldsworthy as a ‘fringe’ player at Mousehole. He is still a first class striker. Here’s a novel idea - Westgarth always touted as a top coach - let him redevelop the Fal Tn side by making what he already has, especially the younger players, better than they are now!

Both Sides of the Tamar Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 Ground is improving at Helston to be fair. Excellent manager. Good cafe. If down west I’d prefer the charms of Bickland Park every time though! I’m enjoying my cross Tamar mix of Tavistock for Southern League Football and Liskeard for the sexiest football (on top form) in the SWPL though! And, Lux Park just feels comfortable in a kind of rustic kind of way!! Buckland Jim, Town Fan and JonColenzo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
