Taunton game already off. Pitch looks terrible.  How Truro and Taunton get all the games completed on that god only knows.

4 defeats and a draw for Truro in last 5 games, they are getting sucked back into the NLS relegation picture. Know they have games in hand on the teams around them, but they to start winning them (along with actually getting the "home" fixtures played).

This guy is delusional at times, and often quite unlikeable. Rubbish patterns of play, wasting the talents of Harvey with too much hoof ball. The penalty was a penalty, I was right behind the goal so saw it clearly. Truro often have nothing in the middle of the park, too much going out to the wings. He is right that we defended their 3rd goal awfully. Can't always be the players' fault though Paul.

Somebody else has pointed out on here that going on a winning run, which is then followed up by a losing streak, is a feature of Paul Wotton's time at Truro.

That was possibly me 😂

Think the reply to my criticism included a lot of the teams at this level  have analytics teams. Which is fair enough. 

Tbh I just hate 5-3-2 when the wing backs aren’t dynamic enough.

Truro massively miss Harvey Geenslade

Now that the new owners are in place at Truro, and that there is hopefully a bit more finance and general level of interest from them, strengthening the backroom staff must be a priority.  When I see City matches at this level, the opposition frequently has a small army of coaching staff in various roles.  Truro only seem to have Paul Wotton and Stewart Yetton on the bench.

Does Stewart yetton actually have any coaching badges ? Always just seems like a bit of a motivator to me then having any sort of actual coaching knowledge. A wotten yes man .  He never seem to be in the frame for any manger jobs that come up.
