Leading Truro City to the Premier League

[coolmcool]

Tough start

Yeah i reckon i will be lucky to stay in the division, hoping to just build the club as a whole upgrade facilities and such and try to bring some money into the club by staying in the league, think the final Promotion will be the toughest

 

[Hampus Silverholt]

Love that a full international plays his football for Truro... only a few more seasons until most of the squad play for their country hopefully!

Started my Truro career in the Vanarama National League South 8 seasons and 400 games later we are playing in the Championship

View attachment 57735

The main moves in the Championship was the relegated teams losing their best players but the likes of Brighton pumped over £20Million straight back into the side

Brightons squad including £20Million man Oliver Burke

Their least most valued player in their first team squad is worth 5 times my best player

Championship
Truro 2 - 2 Reading

View attachment 57731

Gudjohnsen will most likely be the key to how we get on this season as he seems to be my only striker who has been able to move up the league level

210 Wins in my 400 games in charge of Truro

Championship
Burnley 8 - 2 Truro

View attachment 57715

I would 8 - 2 be a Truro fan or Manager right now . . . . we follow our best performance of the season up with our worse, we are doing a Burnley right now good Home form shocking away form

Brereton smashed in a Hattrick against us and is touted to win the Golden Boot

View attachment 57714

Our wages come to around £2.4Million per annum whilst Burnley's is top with over £20Million spent on wages per year

The loss to Burnley is the worse ever since we lost to Whitehawk 8 years ago 6-1

It was Slater you shone this time round, we are like a different team at Home

And the second worse Away record in the Championship

We keep up appearances getting well beaten away from home letting in 5 goals

Even worse news Gudjohnsen out for 4 months

Gudjohnsen was my Player of the month and will be sorely missed up until Christmas, i worry about our league status

Flying high in 15th and i wish the season ended tomorrow, as this is going to get tougher now with my best striker out for 4 months and several other players having small knocks

Championship
Truro 1 - 2 Barnsley

View attachment 57676

We lose a home game and its to Barnsley who are nothing special, they scored 2 goals in 3 second half mintutes to destroy our fine home form record

Another squad player joins the side with wing back looking thin thanks to injuries

View attachment 57675

Championship
Sunderland 3 - 1 Truro

View attachment 57674

All the goals were in the second half in another poor match, the FM Sunderland are a much better team than the real life one right now but we shouldnt have been so easily beaten

Championship
Truro 1 - 1 Bolton

View attachment 57673

A real back and forth game where we should have scored a shed load of goals but we will have to stick with the 1-1 draw, at least it stopped the losing streak

Championship
Wigan 1 - 1 Truro

View attachment 57672

To be honest a point away from home is a big result for us!

5 game Winless run but two draws in a row hopefully means we are turning a corner

View attachment 57671

A couple of experienced players in Burgess (DC) and Westwood (CM) join the club on free transfers to add a bit of quality to our thin bench

View attachment 57670View attachment 57669

Slater seems to be enjoying his football this month with a couple of good goals even if we are not having a good time

Championship
Sheff Wed 5 - 3 Truro

View attachment 57332

Bobby Duncan nets a Hattrick but we still lose heavily as they smash 5 past us, its never a good sign when you lose to both teams that came up with you from the league below, i always feel as if they are must have wins

With us struggling i have got rid of a striker and added a midfielder, im toying with the positions in midfield at the moment but at first thought i would go with their favourite positions

View attachment 57331

Another midfielder joins the side in the form of former Crystal Palace player Jordon Mutch

View attachment 57330

Championship
Brighton 2 - 2 Truro

View attachment 57329

The new tactic saw a draw against one of the best sides in the division so not too bad a start

Parsons out for 3 weeks

View attachment 57328

Championship
Truro 0 - 0 QPR

View attachment 57323

Well the new tactic has stopped the losses but i was hoping for more than 2 draws this one a very boring 0-0

Kendall may have come a level too far now for us, 4 seasons with us tearing up League 2 and League 1 hes now struggling in the Championship

View attachment 57319

8 Match Winless run but im not getting too worried as 4 of those matches were draws

View attachment 57318

One of our former coaches left for Brighton so we bring in former Bolton Striker Le Fondre

View attachment 57317

Championship
Truro 2 - 0 Millwall

View attachment 57316

Truro Win a Game! Truro Win a ****** Game!!! Duncan and Adeniran our former Everton pair get the goals to seal 3 vital points

Championship
Norwich 4 - 0 Truro

View attachment 57315

And the away day form comes again with a shocking 4-0 loss to Norwich

Championship
Truro 3 - 0 Blackburn

View attachment 57314

Its a home game and we turn it on again! A comfortable 3-0 win and Kendall even smashed in a goal to break his goal drought, if we continue winning games at home i dont mind about getting thrashed away

Adeniran has been in fine form this month with some important goals and decent displays, hes been with us in 3 different leagues

View attachment 57313

Thanks to those 2 wins this month we manage to stay out of the bottom 3, we are 3 points off the last relegation place whilst Wigan already look dead and buried 6 points off safety already

3-0 up inside half an hour! What a way to end the year with Gudjohnsen looking brilliant and sharp after his bad injury

Gudjohnsen happy to be back

Adeniran in centre midfield always seems to get a goal

Hanley adds to our injury list

Im looking at bringing in a new striker as we have Kendall and Duncan coming back from injury and Slater and Parsons struggling in front of goal

View attachment 56756

Championship
Truro 0 - 1 Luton

View attachment 56755

Luton who came up the same time as us have been flying in the league and beat us again here with an early goal to end our mini unbeaten run

Luton go top of the Championship with that win

FA Cup 3rd rnd Replay
Brighton 3 - 1 Truro

View attachment 56750

We pushed Brighton to extra time but they turned it up a gear in extra time and easily dispatched of our tired side

Championship
Reading 3 - 1 Truro

View attachment 56749

We took the lead through ageing centre back Burgess but it didnt take long for our side to implode and they smashed 3 goals past us

I bring in Arsenal youth player Jordan Ross on loan for the rest of the season

View attachment 56748

Ross is a Striker and considered the best player at the club at 18 and worth the most money

View attachment 56747

Championship
Truro 0 - 3 Hull

View attachment 56746

Well Ross had an awful debut and we just fell away again in the second half, i wonder if with us only having a small squad we are struggling now with fitness and injuries as we seem to be conceding lots of sloppy goals

Westwood has barely got a look in since joining but his injury is still an annoyance

View attachment 56745

We are 4 places away from the last relegation place but just 3 points separate us from getting relegated and we are only going downhill at the moment

Brereton puts us to the sword again smashing in a Hattrick

5 losses in a row but we have played some of the big teams in the league, in mid March we face 3 of the 4 teams currently beneath us and that little run could be key

6 Losses in a row a new Truro record

Swansea 3 - 1 Truro

Another former Premier League side beat us too easily, we were actually ahead with Gudjohnsen the one bright light in our dismal season getting the opening goal but that was as good as it got

Championship
Truro 0 - 3 Middlesbrough

View attachment 56640

Yet another team that was in the Premier League not that long ago and our side can simply not cope with them

Doesnt help that Parsons and Duncan cant find the back of the net, i will definitely not be trying to renew either of their loan deals in the summer

Barnsley 1 - 2 Truro

Truro Win Truro WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! They were all over us but we got the goals Gudjohnsen early on before they got one back, then Bobby Duncan stepped up to net what turned out to be the winner deep into first half injury time, this win was massive as Barnsley are literally just above us in the league

17 goals in 26 games shows how good Gudjohnsen has been, could we have been doing better in the league if he hadnt off missed 3 months out injured

View attachment 56635

That winless run has seen us flirt with the relegation zone but that win against Barnsley sees us 2 points clear of Wigan in the last relegation place with 12 games to go

Ross finally shows why we brought him in on loan with a couple of goals, he missed a penalty which would have secured his Hattrick but it didnt matter as we beat Wigan one of only a few teams beneath us in the league

Championship

View attachment 56606

Bobby Duncan scores again! After our torrid January and February things are looking brighter, we had some tough games earlier on in the year but facing 3 of the 4 teams beneath us in the league in the last 4 games see us win 3 matches and gain a massive 9 points

We come from behind with a huge win! I really didnt think we would get anything from this game but with our recent form against the lower teams we must have carried it on here with Roberts getting a very rare goal before Gudjohnsen netted a late winner

We go from a winless run to an Unbeaten run

We can not finish any lower than 19th in the Championship now which in my eyes is a good season after we were suppose to be favourites for relegation, The biggest surprise has got to be Luton securing the promotion to the Premier League though!

For next season its about £2Million with hardly any room to move in the wage budget but i usually bring in loan players and free transfers
