WISE WORDS 10/11/07
Good afternoon one & all and welcome back to Mount Wise for today's 'local derby' v Foxhole Stars. An especially warm welcome to Darin Morse, whose witty and concise match reports should be read by a far wider audience, I look forward to reading his pearls of wisdom on this match with great interest.
Right, with the formalities over, Wise Words can now revert to the much more appropriate, 'Strong Words' The 13 Newquay Loyal that made the trip to Hayle last Saturday were, for once, all in agreement, that we are simply not good enough ! There, I've said it, most have of you have said the same but perhaps it needed a more public airing. A lack of tactical awareness on occasions has shown that despite all the efforts put in by the players, we are being undone by the formation being played or the instructions being given by the managerial team. I have heard it said, that you should never wash your dirty linen in public, well when the amount of washing amounts to a years worth at Chins Laundry, perhaps it is time that some things were brought out into the open. I have never seen a Newquay side rely so much on the front two, how are we supposed to create clear cut chances when the midfield, are 30-40 yards adrift of the play in the majority of matches this season. With Adam Bromley being out, we are missing his width and Elmo would surely not allow some of the silly defensive errors that are costing us goals and points. Lets hope the injury crisis is over sooner rather than later.
Should I get stick from the players or managers for these comments, then so be it. I may have had small digs in the past but enough is enough, a club with the history and stature of Newquay AFC should not be in such a poor position within Cornish football. No one has suggested a change in the two managers or the majority of players, just a different style of play and tactics that allow us to cash in on the weakness of most defences in this league. With the appointment of a Director of Football, we were promised a professional approach, now it is time to put that promise into action. OK, rant over. Now go out and prove us all wrong and destroy Foxhole who were well beaten 1-5 by a very poor Millbrook team last week.
Our next 4 matches see us play Foxhole and Vospers Oak Villa (Plymouth) twice each with the possibility of a 3rd match with today's visitors should the Senior Cup match in a fortnights time go to a replay. Peppermints spotted out and about include the injured Sam Hunter at the Barracuda at 2am and Keiran Avery (without his Mrs) at the Hall for Cornwall watching comedian Lee Hurst, no matter where you are lads, someone is always watching you, although sightings of Charlie the Chough are as rare as Andrew the Lino out with a good looking woman.
COME ON YOU REDS !
