Let’s hope this is not a banana skin fixture. I’m hoping we can keep the opposition down to zero tomorrow while scoring a few ourselves. If Whitehall is 50:50, I wouldn’t risk him, but I wouldn’t start with Beck either. My starters:
Watson
Starbuck Boyce Evans Denton
Beestin Ewing Rowley
Roberts Sellars-Fleming HoweSeptember 19, 2025 at 12:32 pm #311352I agree with most of that. Carlton for TSF maybe but I fear Beck might get the start.
September 19, 2025 at 12:55 pm #311354They only lost1-0 to Rochdale last week,beat Fulham 21’s midweek to head their group so hope we are not over confident.Interested how many of their fans will make the 740 mile round trip.Hope Beck is not playing
September 19, 2025 at 12:57 pm #311355Surely he can’t start after his “performance” on Tuesday night when again he did absolutely nothing of note.
I’d go for the same starting lineup as the OP.
September 19, 2025 at 1:19 pm #311357Should be fully committed with a basic formation of 442.

I’m suddenly not looking forward to the game! Don’t see them scoring more than one btw. 3-1 Iron

September 19, 2025 at 2:52 pm #311364My Tenner this week is on
Full time score 1-1 but to get the odds up ive doubled up with 2 penalties in the game (scored or not)

Why? We’re unbeaten in the league and have played pretty much a 4-3-3 every game.

September 19, 2025 at 4:50 pm #311371I could cope with Carlton instead of TSF. What I couldn’t cope with is Beck as his style of play slows us down. Truro have only just gone full time professional. They are still learning the ropes to that. As an added handicap, their away games involve substantial travelling so even coming up today they will be a bit leggy. We need to attack with pace, and their defence and defensive midfielders need to be running around like the proverbial blue bottomed flies! If we play at a high pace and press , then they will crumble. Play at Becks pace and they will get something from the game!

September 19, 2025 at 6:11 pm #311372I would give Carlton the nod over TSF, however it does feel like he needs to make an impact or else he will one the few shipped out on loan.
September 19, 2025 at 8:26 pm #311378I watched Truro play Aldershot on DAZN, finished 2-2 with Aldershot finishing with 9 men but managed to get a penalty at the death with the 9, Truro weren’t bad over 90 minutes but just a lower half team, they have a forward who played on loan here Rekeil Pyke,
September 19, 2025 at 8:29 pm #3113793-0 Iron Att 4257
September 19, 2025 at 9:27 pm #311381I saw them play York as was down there on holiday. They were ok but never really looked like scoring if I am honest. They created opportunities but the lad up front wasn’t sharp enough and then Pyke came… They did defend well but once York got one they had no response.
Obs they have gelled a bit now and been picking up results but think if we play like we have we will be ok specially if we can score early
Wondering if I will be the first none Truro fan to have seen them home and away this season…

3-0 maybe 4-0 home win.FGR hadn’t conceded at home – it took us 2 minutes.
How long will it take Truro to double their total of away goals?September 20, 2025 at 9:14 am #311384(9) Wealdstone 2-0 Truro
(10) Tamworth 2-0 Truro
(5) Boreham Wood 2-1 Truro
(3) Carlisle 3-0 Truro[current league positions in brackets]
Truro currently occupy 23rd place in the league.
We sit 7th with 1 / 2 games in hand on 5 of the 6 teams above us.
We are one of the 3 undefeated teams.
They don’t score goals – we do.
Howitzer down the middle… we win 3-0
Goals: CR10, Howitzer 2
Att: 4,573September 20, 2025 at 12:29 pm #311385Hope the weather doesn’t affect the gate too much, reads like we are in for a wet old afternoon, no injury time abandonment please Mr Groundsman due to flooded pitch, we all remember what happened last time it chucked it down.
September 20, 2025 at 2:19 pm #311387Well that’s a bit of a shocker, selection wise. No Captain dependable, presumably Starbuck is at CB with Scales at RB. Whitehall on the bench (expected)but Joey Dawson starting!!! I never saw that coming, like most I thought he would be toddling off on loan next week for a bit of game time elsewhere. Personally I would have thought Carlton and TSF were above him in the Striker pecking order. Anyone else any thoughts on this?
September 20, 2025 at 2:41 pm #311388Yes, same as yours. I like Brogan but, it seems, AB doesn’t.
September 20, 2025 at 3:24 pm #311389Was a bit surprised by Dawson starting but he’s been excellent so far…and what a finish!

3:30pm Iron 1-0 Truro
“Get another one and then see the game out” – Cox
Jesus!
Get another – then keep pressuring & attacking… get a third, then a fourth.
Rubbish Cox.
September 20, 2025 at 3:41 pm #311391When was the last time we started with 3 guys named Joe?
Agree about Dawson. Equaled Becks Iron career flick ons, hold ups and goals in 25 minutes.

September 20, 2025 at 4:14 pm #311394Agree about Dawson. Equaled Becks Iron career flick ons, hold ups and goals in 25 minutes.
Plus a lovely knock down for the 2nd, so has now eclipsed the number of Beck’s goal contributions in less than an hour.
