Ian Pethick Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 16 hours ago, Soccer Follower said: Parkway 1 Basingstoke 1 Extends Parkway's unbeaten league run to 4 games. Not enough to lift them out of the bottom 4 though, and Harrow's away win at Winchester means they go above them. No idea if Lee Hobbs is still actively pursuing a new striker as goalscoring seems to be an issue now. The leaking of goals has been stemmed, but only 1 goal has been managed in each of the last 4 league and Trophy matches. Up next, tough looking away match on Tuesday night against high flying and unbeaten at home Salisbury. The sort of match where Parkway tend to get results.

Dave Deacon Posted October 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Good win for Mousehole today as their fellow top sides slip up. Biggest surprise surely has to be Bemerton losing so heavily to struggling Evesham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavi Fan Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 3 wins on the bounce for The Lambs and 6 unbeaten in the league now. Felt the score line wasn’t as comfortable as it suggests myself but nice to see after a difficult to start. Up the Lambs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life looking a lot better for Tavistock as well, now up to 8th in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I understand Lee happy with the 4 strikers he has with Crago , wright , jones and Thompson. For me it’s not going be good enough strike force. Crago will get you goals but he not a striker and misses plenty any injury to him and they will struggle . Wrighty an impact sub to throw on. Will hardly get double figures the other 2 are completely untested at this level . the defence is much better with the Keeper and white in there . Still plenty to play but will be a fight down there this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty to play but will be a fight down there this season Listened to the excellent match commentary (courtesy of Basingstoke Town Twitter) yesterday afternoon, it did sound just as Lee Hobbs said post match. Parkway were well on top for most of the first half, and had good chances. Matt Wright (who is vastly experienced at this level) has 1 league goal this season, as has Reece Thomson. In my opinion, Dylan Jones while a very exciting prospect, is raw at this level and a spell out on loan to a step 4 club (as Alex Cairo is enjoying at Mousehole) would probably be very beneficial. I know that there aren't many about, and those that there are would be very costly, but a top notch striker taking these chances, and complimenting the now pretty solid defence, could send Parkway up the table quite quickly. sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Both Sides of the Tamar Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Tavi 3 B Cleeve 1 The first half saw fantastic high tempo end to end football, with BC showing why they are doing well in the league. A few weeks ago I said I had faith in Stuart Henderson to turn things around and, judging by yesterday, it is some turnaround. I said too that maybe a loan or two from pro clubs could be key and that is proving correct too! BC took the lead on about 5 minutes with a tap in following a good team move. Tavi were soon level. A Prynn shot was blocked by the 'keeper but fell kindly to Beardsmore who coolly drilled home from about 15 yards. Before 20 minutes were up Tavi were in front. From a free kick two or three touches saw the ball fall to O'Conner (another loanee) to score from close range. From then onwards, it was too and fro in a hugely entertaining first half. 2-1 at HT. Early in the second half a beautifully flighted cross was neatly headed in by Beardsmore. Understandably, BC had lots of possession and both sides had further opportunities to score. The game was less frantic now, but I felt if BC pulled a goal back we'd have a real game on our hands again. MOM went to the two goal debutant Mitchell Beardsmore. He looks some player. Nice touch, movement, linking play and getting forward. A truly outstanding performance. Endacott at wing-back was excellent too and at the back Tavi did well after the early setback to repel some dangerous forward play from an impressive visiting side. Only 152 in attendance. A shame locals don't back the club in better numbers. 6 unbeaten. Hopefully Tavi moving up the league again and being 'overachievers once more! I hope so as its a cracking club.

Tavi Fan Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 A fair assessment and you’re right, a few loanees have made a difference. As mentioned another disappointing crowd but the club keep on trying. A real entertaining game for a neutral no doubt anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
