Good evening and
welcome to our visitors,
Bovey Tracey.
We go into tonight’s game on
the back of five successive
defeats. It is also now 13 games since
our last victory – at home against Cullompton
back at the end of November. However, in that
time we have managed five draws – all away from
home and given some good performances.
However, a recurrent theme this year has been a
difficulty in picking a squad every week,
especially for away games – some weeks I haven’t
even had anyone to sit on the bench!
Against Liskeard a week ago I had to field a muchchanged side from the team that played at
Ivybridge. And for the match at St Austell last
Saturday I also had to make a host of changes
again – no less than eight first team players were
unavailable for selection. This seems to have been
the pattern throughout the season.
At the moment I am begnning to question the
players’ commitment to the club. The players are
letting their teammates, supporters
and me down – I feel at times I am
banging my head against a
brick wall.
When I was playing you
daren’t miss a game on
Saturday because you
wouldn’t get back in the side
and we only used 14 players
a season. So far this season I
have had to use 36.

FINANCE COMMITTEE: Jed Hewitt, Graham
Lockyer, Pete Garnsworthy, Phil Chant and

I am hoping that tonight the
players will prove me wrong,
roll up their sleeves and give
me and the club the
performance I know they are
very capable of.

Buckingham, Phil Howe & Pete Garnsworthy.
