Paul Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 If St Blazey had held on to those 2 goal starts against Launceston and Torpoint, we would have been 4th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansome dan Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 what you saying paulie,if games were 60 mins not 90 blazey would be contenders?maybe a fitness problem then?Is standard good or bad for so many teams to be in contention?At least it makes league interesting unlike west division which penzance will walk :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have to say, with the side like we had with Glynn, Gozzy, Burts, Street, etc we would have seen St Blazey win 5 or 6 nil. Havnt seen a really good team yet. Will you come over to Falmouth on Friday night Hansome Dan?

Guest Sport Lover Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Dan, How many points will PZ walk the league by? They are only 3 points ahead on equal games at the moment dropping 4 points so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not by many if they play the way they did today again...very fortunate to get away with 1:1 (incidentally when was the last time St Austell v Penzance was a top of the table clash?)

Ok, PZ had 2/3 players unavailable yesterday but I dont see enough there currently to run away with the league. It is early days and the management trio are still trying to gel a team of new players together but from what I have seen they are far from a finished article and I personally believe a couple of new faces will arrive to strengthen the squad in the near future as Mr Mewton wont accept too many more performances like yesterday's. That said PZ have some quality youngsters being given their chance at the moment. St Austell proved they are more than capable of competing with PZ or any team in their league (and league above having already beaten Newton Abbott) and providing they can turn draws into wins they will be 'up there' when it counts. Two young exciting players to watch the development of at St Austell are Olly Brokenshire and Josh Higman- bright futures and both under 18 with Olly still only 16! One thing to note yesterday that I found incredible was that the Ref told his Assistant Referees before the game not to flag for any infringement, foul, incident ect they see on the pitch during the game claiming he would not miss a thing!! When the assistants were prompted to bring infringments to the Referees attention by playes, coaches and supporters, they answered with "we are'nt allowed"!!! Never heard anything like this before and surely 3 pairs of eyes are better than 1 arent they?? Even the 2 assistants were shocked and mythed by this and needless to say the Ref did miss things!

Crouchy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 thought we deserved to win that yesterday and with PZ only having one shot in the second half, thought we would have should have made a bit more of our dominance. As you said Lafs, if we can turn draws into wins we will be up there at the end of the season. Hopefully now we have stopped leaking so many goals, we'll have the confidence to go and finish teams of. On the subject of the ref, I thought he done a decent job. Ye, I know he missed a few things and should have stamped on Cheesy's persistent bad tackles but overall he let the game flow and ran the game with calm authority. Did you notice that most of the PZ players wanted to lay into Josh Higman! I wonder why they didn't fancy it with the likes of Leaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Well done Town,good to see such result for you,pity you couldn't go all the way. We need to see you and Newquay making that step back up, hopefully replacing some further afield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny 7 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 crowd was approx 150 / 180 ish very good game and hope to see same faces at poltair for the next game. :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansome dan Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 lafs... i agree that present pz side are,nt at present a particularly good side,my assumption that they will win the league is based on the budget for the club which as you say will result in better players coming in if they start to faulter .Also am sure that teams challenging will all take points off each other. paulie.... already made date in my diary"relegation clash" at falmouth on fri night,must get there early as st blazey may go home after an hour firry jack....you can,t compare present town and pz sides with legendary sides from the past,they were south western league champions,not pen league WEST contenders which consists of the weaker swl sides and ecpl/combo sides. :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Handsome Dan: I realise that there is no real comparism I just wondered when the last time we were both in contention at the top of the league was. I saw Richard Stanley (ex PZ captain) this morning and he said that in the 1970s he always relished St Austell games as being competitive and in front of decent crowds: just lie yesterday then.

hansome dan Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 it was the seventies when as a young boy i would see young local starlets like ray nichols and john elliot entertaining the masses at poltair where are they now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerow Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I hope you are not having a pop at the Devon Clubs Mr Chairman. They are in the Premier Division on merit, maybe a couple should not be due to the ground facilities. Its not all about Cornwall. If clubs are good enough then they should be playing top flight football where ever they are located. It is good to see St Austell doing so well. Good luck to them for the rest of the season.

Crouchy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 John Elliot is still entertaining the crowd (and me) at Poltair Park, but now with his Lino's flag! doing a good honest job for us at Town and good to see so many like him working hard and supporting the club trying to get it back where it should be. Great crowd yesterday, nice to see we can still temped a few through the gates even when it's beach weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hedgerow...i think youll find that the Chairman is pointing out the fact that the crowds at St Blazey this season have been very poor but all weve played against on every home saturday is teams from Devon like Clyst, Dartmouth etc. Not one of these clubs has managed to bring more than 6 fans....yes, just 6!! Woeful. The like of St Austell would bring a crowd of 350 to Blaize Park at least. Newquay also bring a good following with the flags and Pz always adds a few to the gate. Nothing against the Devon sides at all but they do nothing for the crowds at St Blazey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Alex Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Heard Higgy had Jonny Ludders wriggling around in his pocket all match and had to release him at the final whistle!!! Any truth in the rumours that Chappers was sent off as well, heard it on the grapevine earlier today..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafs Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 No Josh didnt have it all his way against Jonny Ludlam as he wasnt used enough as an out and out winger that he is in my opinion, but he did cause him problems when he was fed. I think Josh WILL go on to cause the best defenders in Cornwall massive headaches in the near future though! Lot of games and points to be played for but on yesterdays evidence St Austell have a stronger in depth and more resillient squad than most peoples choice as favourites for the league, PZ. Saying that, they dont have the resources of PZ this season, so will be interesting to watch TM move to strengthen his side soon. I'd say Port, Callington and also Newquay will play their part in the destiny of the of the league winners this season too. So both West and Prem league up for grabs this season I think.

Sir Alex Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Lafs, do you not think that Town have been far to reliant on Bods goals this season??? injury or suspension to him would surely see them stgruggle as Nanks hasnt had the best start to the season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafs Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 You could be right there Sir Alex although I'd be quick to point out that its proven over the years that Nanks contribution to Bods goals is crucial even if he doesnt score many himself. Dont forget that Liam Dingle is a natural goal scorer as he proved in an average Newquay side last season. That said, can we see him getting enough opportunities in his favoured position in order to contribute?? Im not so sure. I know of a few clubs showing interest in him including one from the Peninsula Premier and sure he wants regular action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Alex Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 There is no doubting Nanks ability, it just seems that as a striker he should be judged on goals scored. Scott Anseel played 25 minutes for Town this season and notched, Nanks seems to be suffering a crisis of confidence. As for Liam, he must be growing impatient with his lack of starting chances up top, he too may be the next out of the exit door, following James Avery who, I heard on Saturday, is leaving in search of first team action. If these 2 were both to leave it would surely leave Towns squad very thin on numbers, with a decent starting XI with very little (sorry Chappers) on the bench to come on and change a game so to speak.

In that case Sir Alex it will be of one persons concern and task to either keep his squad happy or face the task of finding replacements and that in all cases Sir, is the responsibility of the teams manager. And whilst on that point, if Liam and Avery were to follow Scott that would only leave young Olly Brokenshire and Josh Higman from the list that the manager personally brought to the club at the beginning of the season!! Oh sorry, and Chappers! (Sorry Chappers!) Interesting but FACT. Lafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanks Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sir Alex, Lack of confidence or not the best of starts to the season.......I suggest that you come and watch before talking utter bullshit. And as you know Ive never been a goalscorer and I never will be but I work my socks off and create goal scoring chances for my team mates which I am happy to do. Will hopefully see you up at Poltair soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaves Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 very true nanks...you work your bollox off create chances for others and if i remember you assisted my goal!!!but sir alex does have a point with the squad size...if avers goes and dougies out for a while leaves you a bit thin...any new signings lined up???

SuperCooper Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Right on Nanks, the games I have seen you play you have done your job, someone needs to create chances for others, you was the best player by far down at Penryn and you scored! Im sure if you ask Bods he will comment on Nanks contribution to most of his goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCooper Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Exactly most of Bods goals are assisted by Nanks, but we should not take anything away from Bods as he is probably the best finisher in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bods Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 ha,ha.nanks has never been an out and out goal scorer,but give him a chance and he will put it away.his contributions around the pitch are priceless and has prob assisted 1/2 my goals this season.just moans a lot thats his problem!!!!! beaver,i heard glyn has recalled you from your loan spell at sticker!!!

Sir Alex Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 My point is that a striker is judged first and foremost by the goals scored column at the end of the season. Whilst not knocking the contribution you make to the team the fact remains that the goals are only coming from one place. If you were to lose Bods (a class act by the way) then surely we would be looking at a midtable team, not one chasing honours. As for the players leaving, this surely must be a concern, if Avers and Dingle leave, as well as Douglas being injured, where is the depth in the squad???
