sportsman10 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Missed the game Tonight but I did manage to catch the commentary from the totton on X . It sounded like parkway were completely out classed by a much better team on the night. Very emotional interview with Lee after the game you can see the toll it taking on him . Wednesday is absolutely massive for the club ( Lee even suggesting it’s probably his biggest game ) . Nothing more then a win against hayes will do. I notice Jamie lowery was playing tonight to help out. Jack bray Evans was missing not sure if it away another injury. roll on Wednesday should be a big crowd and big night.

It’s a virtual relegation shootoutl! A physically shattered set of players desperately need a big Plymouth crowd behind them vs H & Y. Away down West for a few days, but wish Parkway well. sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Bolitho Park will be packed on Wednesday night for this match which, as Lee Hobbs described it, is a game Parkway have to win. Even then, they will probably have to avoid defeat away to a Beaconsfield side on Saturday that has also been dragged into the relegation scrap.

Beaconsfield will be an extremely difficult place to go if they are looking to win. Anything less the 3 points Wednesday and I fear the worse 1 minute ago, Dave Deacon said: That’s tight!!!

sportsman10 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Could see Matt cusack getting helston promoted and winning the league tonight and Lee possibly getting parkway relagated end of the week. I imagine Matt will be in demand. Steve Massey will have to work overtime on his powers of PERSUASION You do wonder what will happen in summer.

The Town Man Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 23 minutes ago, Dave Deacon said: Should Parkway get relegated with Helston promoted, why should Matt swap clubs? Which club has the biggest budget for players? Additionally, I would imagine that they will be competing for the same players if Parkway are relegated, as much of Helston's squad are Plymouth-based. Could create an interesting dynamic if one club outspends the other and one of them is weakened. Maybe Matt Cusack, if he had a choice, would go for the club that can provide him with the best squad. Certainly from the outside looking in, Parkway seem to have the most sustainable model. sportsman10 and Ian Pethick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say a club on his doorstep that already has the infrastructure to compete and progress at that level. Better budget. And easier to attract the players at that level. not knocking helston but with Truro coming back on the scene a few miles away and they already survive on 100 or so fans watching a title wining team. What more can he do there ?? yeww 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrespective of league status Parkway a much bigger club with bigger potential! Closer to home for Cuzi and maybe some unfinished business at PPFC!

Clash of personality with Lee more than anything and he was only ever number 2 there I’m sure it be different if he had the chance to run the whole thing. a great job at Saltash. Even better at helston. They be stupid to not consider him Both Sides of the Tamar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard that potential candidates have been interviewed for the position, but had it down as the usual gossip. I'm still sure that if Parkway stay up (which, one way or another, I expect them to) and Lee Hobbs has a decent holiday, then I think he'll be fully refreshed, recharged and ready to go for next season. Can't imagine Parkway without Lee Hobbs to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I’ve heard Taunton are looking at Matt cusack as well. I imagine he be in demand. Parkway with some tough decisions come the end of the season. You have to think a squad rebuild is needed as well. Would fresh ideas and eyes be better ? of course Matt might want to see the helston project through but where do helston go now ? I imagine a lot of work on the ground for next few years to even think about another promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a lot of work on the ground for next few years to even think about another promotion If I was a manager at this sort of level, I would run a mile from the Taunton job. "Reset and new approach" is usually code for a "much reduced budget." Seems to me that Matt Cusack is a very in demand man, but very much still the Helston boss.

sportsman10 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Magnificent performance tonight from parkway. After going a goal down I feared the worse but Dylan jones scored a brilliant free kick immediately and they went in 1-1. 2nd half hayes and yeading jusy seem to die off and parkway looked the stronger outfit who wanted it more . Maty wright finished off a good move for the 2nd before Thompson made it safe. great night and parkway almost safe now. you could see the relief on Lee face big result for the club.

The Town Man Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Survival for Parkway would make taking the job on from Hobbs even more attractive for the likes of Cusack and Henderson. Alternatively, it could be said that Hobbs deserves another crack, having negotiated the club through a difficult season with injuries, and problems with the pitch hampering progress.

Transistor radios will be glued to the ears of Parkway supporters on Saturday eager for news of developments at Swindon and Bracknell. Very much in their own hands now though.

sportsman10 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 A draw would be good enough but if they go a few behind then it really will be touch and go. I think the team around them are playing teams that don’t really have anything to play for , beaconsfield still need to win I think Lee touched on it in his interview hinting he hopes the other mangers are true to the league and play their strongest teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkway aren't good enough defensively to play for the draw, they need to get on the front foot and go for the win. Not something they have made a habit of though away from home, with only 3 from the 24 games played in all competitions this season. sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
