LEE'S VIEW on Truro City 2 Salisbury City 2
"Obviously it was a big relief to save a point and full credit to Scott Walker for a fantasatic penalty in such a pressurised situation, but overall I was disappointed. We created a lot of good chances in the first half and I thought we had edged it at half-time, but as so often this season it was completely different in the second half - we just never got going properly again.
"It's a mystery, and we're going to have a really good, long hard look at it this week. Maybe we need to come back out onto the pitch earlier, get their legs going sooner; maybe we need a fresh warm-up session. I personally believe 15 minutes is too long for the interval anyway. Ten minutes is quite enough to have your break and get your points across. I gave them instructions, got all the right ideas into their heads, but it just didn't happen.
"On Saturday all the good work of the first half was undone in the second. Andy Watkins had been doing great movement and we were getting good balls into Barry Hayles, and we were putting good crosses into the box, but it just didn't happen in the second half.
To be honest, I think we were fortunate to get a point. "The way we conceded that second goal was pure pub football. The boys were just not switched on. Salisbury took a short corner and the boy was free to run in and shoot in loads of space."
UPCOMING FIXTURES (both League, 3 pm): Sat Feb 18, Dover Athletic away; Sat Feb 25, Eastleigh away.
SUNDAY INDEPENDENT: Yesterday's Truro City column attached. Incidentally, Mark Woolcock does NOT have the new title of "lease secretary," as the Indy suggested yesterday. Goodness only knows how that happened, but as you will see from the attached (second paragraph) it definitely went out from here as "at least!"

Salisbury City match report by Jacob Englefield
Saturday 11th February 2012
Onto the game, young keeper Ollie Chenoweth again started in goal because of the continuing absence of regular keepers Tim Sandercombe and Tom Brooks. New signing Adam Kelly started on the right side of midfield, hoping to put in a good performance in against his former club on his 24th birthday.
The young trio of Danny Carne, Scott Palmer and Cody Cooke were on the bench alongside the experienced Marcus Martin.
From the off it was clear to all spectators that Truro were here to play attractive and attacking football. And it was Truro who started the better of the two teams. Truro applied some early pressure, with Salisbury being on the receiving end of some good football from Truro.
It was in the 5th minute when the opening goal was scored. Truro’s no. 10 Barry Hayles managed to get his head to the ball and from about 8 yards about managed to send a looping header over the Salisbury keeper and into the back of the net.
It was only a minute later, however, when Salisbury were at the other end of the pitch, putting immediate pressure on Truro. This led to a mistake. The ball fell to a Salisbury player who was brought down in the box but referee Adam Hopkins waved away the huge appeal from the Salisbury players.
It was in the 15th minute when the next chance came about. Barry Hayles hit a left footed shot which rebounded off the crossbar and cleared by the Salisbury defenders.
The game was 25 minutes old and it was the visitors who were starting to get the upper hand, keeping the ball in Truro’s half, forcing a couple of decent saves from Ollie Chenoweth. On the half hour mark Salisbury scored, with the ball rebounding off the post to a Salisbury attacker who was there to side foot the ball into the net.
With the score now 1-1 the game was more open, with both sides having chances, however, it was Truro who had the last say of the first half when Joe Broad sent a shot just wide from the outside of his right foot.
Into the second half and it was Salisbury who came out of the break the better of the two sides, with Truro having little possession. It was in the 61st minute when the first chance of the half came, with Salisbury forcing another save out of young Ollie Chenoweth.
It was in the 67th minute when the 3rd goal of the game was scored, much to the disappointment of the home fans. It was Salisbury who deservedly scored with Truro looking poor.
In the 71st minute and Truro made two subs, Adam Kelly and Joe Broad gave way for Danny Carne and Marcus Martin. As usual, Marcus Martin made an immediate impact and caused a coming together in the middle of the field after a late challenge on a Salisbury player. Players from both teams had to be restrained by fellow players on the pitch.
In the 81st minute there was another coming together in the middle of pitch, this time after Salisbury’s prolific goal scorer Robbie Matthews appeared to have elbowed Arran Pugh, which led to Matthews being sent off.
In the 83rd minute a Salisbury attacker went down in the Truro penalty area, but he was booked for diving.
The game had entered stoppage time and then came what proved to be a big decision from the referee. Barry Hayles was chasing a ball down and the Salisbury keeper came out and collided with Hayles. The Truro players, staff and fans cried for a penalty. The referee responded to the appeals and pointed to the spot. The decision left everyone connected with Salisbury fuming. Up stepped Scott Walker and he powered the penalty into the top right hand corner of the goalkeepers net.
That was the last action of the game, with the referee blowing for full time.

Truro City 2 v 2 Salisbury City
Treyew Road
3pm KO
THE MATCH REPORT
There was a blue sky at Treyew Road on this cold and nippy Saturday afternoon. When the fixtures were being made before the start of the season, this was the game that everyone connected with Truro and Salisbury was watching out for. Especially after what has happened in the past couple of seasons.
This includes Truro travelling to Salisbury on a Tuesday night last season and thrashing Salisbury 0-6. This was the turning point in the season which led to Truro being crowned Southern Premier Division Champions and being promoted to the Blue Square Bet South. However, earlier this season on another Tuesday night, it was Salisbury who got the better of Truro, eventually turning out 2-1 winners.

MOTM: Barry Hayles – He played a part in both of Truro’s goals, scoring the first and setting up the second. He used his strength effectively and bossed the Truro attacking line, looks like he is getting back to his best.
