SPEAKER_01 0:01

So, welcome everybody. This is episode six of the Troy City Football Club Podcast. Now, on this week's show, we have City's assistant manager, Stuart Yetten. Welcome, Stuart.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

Good afternoon, Trevor.

SPEAKER_01 0:13

Stuart's going to tell us all about what an assistant manager does. So, how about that? We've also got director of football, Alex Black. Welcome, Alex. Hello. And uh to begin with, the guys are going to reflect on the win over at Chesham. And uh we are recording this on Tuesday afternoon uh before the uh Leicester scheduled game. But before we do that, we've just got to give a couple of shout-outs to listeners who've taken the time to get in touch. This is from John, doesn't give you surname, but he does give you seat number. So uh John, thank you very much for that. He said he just really enjoyed the uh the podcast with the owners. So uh thank you, John. That's really kind of you to say. And Sharon Tatlow uh said that this is a great addition to the fan experience. Oh no pressure there, then, guys. Um, it's interesting to hear the behind-the-scenes stories. Well, hopefully we're gonna get a few of those today, Sharon. So uh so guys, uh let's talk about Chesham. Now I want to kick off. Um I watched uh on a train yesterday, uh made some notes. Michael Murray, the Chesham manager. This is what he said in his video. I think Truro were exceptional. They're well drilled, they're good at pressing, they're very fit, they're so well structured, they've just got quality all round the pitch. So do you guys agree with that? Do you agree with the Chesham manager?

SPEAKER_00 1:25

Yes. Um very nice, very nice words. Um I think Mark White from at Dawkins said something, said something similar as well. So it's um Yeah, it's positive that these uh opposing sides hold us in that high regard, and I think um the way we have performed at the start of the season, I think it's uh probably a fair reflection.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

Yeah, I think we've sort of seen the benefits really of continuity, which we've discussed you know before on the podcast, you know, it would have been very easy for have a big turnover of players the last few seasons, given you know that we've gone up and then we've gone down again. Um and with going full time. I think by having those same people, including staff, Stuart's here today, and including the players, you really get to work with them and everybody gets to know everybody else, knows the routines, and on the fitness side, we we're understanding our players what they can and what they can't do better, how to get the most out of them physically, and they're understanding more and more what the manager wants from them.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

And sorry, sorry, yeah, I think as well, Trev, I think just training and repetition. Gaff is big on repetition of of the same things and doing the basics well, and um I think that leads to us being very well drilled, and like I said, being full-time and remaining full-time has its benefits from a from a fitness perspective, and like I said, you can you can work more on doing the same things over and over and over. So I think that's why we um we look so well drilled.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

And does it make a bit of a difference? Because you know, we will have every you know, people like uh fans, regular fans, will have noticed that the lineup on Saturday was identical to the first four games. Now we know there were lots of changes for the Dorking game, and we understand why that for the starting lineup, but does it help, Stuart, when you you've got everybody fit and you can put out the same 11 on the at the start?

SPEAKER_00 3:18

Yeah, I think I think when you perform well, when you win games, a lot of teams will stay very sort of similar at that moment in time, and obviously we've started the season really well. Um so I think those boys have kind of got the shirts at the moment, and it's and whilst they're winning, it's it can be difficult to break in. Um like you said, we made the changes going into Easter Monday. Um Alex say on the on the last episode around you know, a lot of that's to do with injury prevention as well. So the the the two games in short succession and then the second game being on the on the 3G, um, it comes with big risks of of further injury. So there's there's three or four of our lads that we need to you know we need to manage them correctly, especially after a game. Um so that's why we made the changes, and I think by and large that was the right decision, and um we can see it right at the death um with the majority of the lads who been left out on the pitch. So I think that was just unfortunate.

SPEAKER_02 4:12

Yeah, I think a good example of that if you look at Dawkins' next game, they had a bit of a ding-dong, didn't they? 3-3 with with Bill Arickie. Yeah, and um it looked like a number of their players uh perhaps were breaking down. Um possibly, I don't know, they didn't know what changes they made, but you know, one of the things we wanted to make sure that whatever the result was against Dorking, we would be as fit and ready and capable as we were for the next game. Now that proved to be the right thing to do. We were able to put out a good performance against Chesham and get those points.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

Well, when you go back to the manager's comments, the fact that we were still coming on strong at the end and we scored two fairly late goals kind of backs up that decision um to have made those changes.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

So um yeah, I think I think he also mentioned uh you know that the just the the bench as well. And we we've all we've all noticed that the bench is really strong, isn't it? And uh I think I think last year, you know, um the guys there were some people around in the stand going, are they gonna make any subs? You know, are they gonna bring any subs on and the last you know, yeah? Well, certainly, you know, the introduction of of Omar and uh and also on Saturday, uh you you brought on uh Ben Starkey as well, didn't you?

SPEAKER_00 5:26

You know, and um the bench is strong. We we've got great depth. There's a couple players that not even making the score at the moment as well that might think they're unfortunate. So we do have a lot of options. Um in close games, it it can be difficult sometimes to I think we were in the ascendancy so much that we didn't want to make too many changes um because we felt that we were coming on strong and and I think the gaffer got the the um the subs bang on.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

Yeah, yeah. So uh anyway, let's uh let's talk a little bit about uh your role as assistant manager. But before we do that, it would be remiss of us not to mention the women's team who made that played their first ever match in Division II, Cornwall Women's League. I think they're gonna be a bit strong for that. Great result, they won 16-2. That's 16-2. Uh Captain Rosie Ship scored five goals. Teagan Ridgement came on as a sub and still bagged four of them. So uh so if you fancy uh going to watch the women's team, they're playing Salt Ash Reserves on Sunday, two o'clock kickoff at Truro College. So uh that could be another goal feast, who knows?

SPEAKER_02 6:23

So probably a bit disappointed to concede two, I would imagine.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

Maybe they're on four off the bench sounds at me back in Western Western one, and I yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

Maybe they're uh maybe they relaxed a little bit too much. So great result. So, Stuart. Uh the big question when every you know, you're you're the assistant manager to Ros City Football Club. So, what does that involve? What do you do?

SPEAKER_00 6:45

Well, that's a very good question. A bit of everything. Um you just like you said, you you're assisting the manager basically with you know plan training, take training. It's a combined sort of effort between me and the gaffer. Uh yeah, a bit of everything. Um, helping the boys out, arranging lifts for Omar today is what is one of them. So now we um on a serious note, it's um planning games, planning training, preparation. Um speaking to the gaffer obviously daily when we're in training, lots on the phone. So it's you kind of eat eat, sleep, and breathe it um throughout the course of the week out in the build-up to the game.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

And I imagine that since going full-time professional at the start of last season, that that role has uh has changed uh a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Yeah, well, since we like you said since we've gone full-time, it's it's a lot more hands-on. Uh we're in obviously a lot more regular, which which is which is a lot more enjoyable. Obviously, when you're when you're part-time, it's only a couple times a week in the evenings. Um and uh I think the gaffer the the first season was was was full time, so obviously he was doing a lot more of the preparation for games, but uh but now you go full-time, you can you can join in with that as well. So yeah, there's there's there's lots that we do, and it's not just training, there's there's there's lots of time spent on analysis and preparing for games and watching take from the games we've just played and and looking at our opponents going forward.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

So and what about uh managing those uh players? You mentioned earlier that you know you have a couple of players who aren't making the bench even, so uh, you know, plus plus the new Lanzi with a trialist this season. So so as the assistant manager, are you involved in you know making sure that they're still happy and they're and they're you know they're waiting their chance?

SPEAKER_00 8:24

I think I think a manager and an assistant manager's job and all the staff for that matter is a kind of key part of your job is is making sure that when players are not playing, that you're kind of keeping them, keeping them positive and keeping them engaged so that they you know they're in training and when they get their opportunities they're chomping at the bit to try to get back in the team. So I think that's kind of a I think that's a combined effort from from all of us as a staff to to keep everybody's spirits up and you know uh and and keep them all moving in the same direction.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

And I guess games like the one tonight, which uh you know is scheduled to be against Leicester City, is an opportunity for those lads to to get a game, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Well I was hoping uh I might start it tonight, Trev, but I spoke to the gaffer today and he told me I'm nowhere near the squad. So uh Oh, there you go. But no, you you you are right, a great opportunity for for the lads who haven't been playing. Um obviously we have to play four players. I think you can have under nominated player as well, one player that's played over 40 games in the last two years. But in in theory, you've got to play three or four players that have either played the last game or started the next game. So I think had that not been the rule, we would probably look to to change the whole whole 11, but um we can't do that, so so we have to we have to play um three or four. So but again, great opportunity for the lads who have not been playing to to play well and and put themselves back in the gaffers forts. Obviously, the the boys who've got the shirt, as we said, they they keep winning, um, and that can be hard to get back in. So it's it's good that those boys have a game of football um and they have that chance to to impress.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

Did you not mention your 232 goals to him? Did that not sway him?

SPEAKER_00 9:57

I I don't mention that um very often. Um but I think he he's told me if I lose a stone and a half, he might consider it, but the chances of that are uh slim.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

It's about three or four years ago uh I insisted that Stuart Yeton was not allowed to be registered as a player anymore with with Paul Watton, but somehow he still has made it onto the pitch a couple of times since then. So sneakily registered as a player.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Well, I I think uh I was doing a bit of research, and I think you've got a sub-appearance in the National League South from a couple of years ago. Yeah. So uh, or or at least a sub-listed.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

Never stone to go, and you just never know, never say never, as Alex likes to say.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

Never say never, yeah. And one of the best moments I would say was during a pre-season game, and I can't say the exact words, but somebody got injured, and I think Paul Wotton was a manager at the time, and Stuart Yeton ran on, who wasn't supposed to be making an appearance, and first touch scored a goal. I've never seen a manager less happy for his team to score a goal. It was against my brother team as well, I think.

SPEAKER_00 11:04

He was good.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

I think you did you come on during the sponsors game? I think you no, I didn't. I didn't.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

I was going to because uh we had Luke in goal, who's our S and C and he was having a he must have saved about 12 shots from my team that was going to be certain goals, and I did contemplate coming on just to um ice the game, but but I didn't. I let him have his moment in the sun.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

So going back to the squad, I mean, uh so how does it how does it work between between the you know the two of you and John? Because you know, Alex is here, you know, you've recruited what seven, eight new players this year. So um, you know, you've got a great squad now. So, you know, what's the message to you know a new player coming in knowing that they might not get in the team necessarily as a first choice? How does how does that kind of conversation go?

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Uh I think I think when you sign most of those players, for example, that you spoke about, they they come in the off-season and every shirt's up for grabs in the off-season. So I think that would be maybe different, say now if you bring in players in and the team is is maybe sort of settled at the moment, um, then people have to wait for their their chance. But when when we recruit in the off-season, um I don't think anybody's guaranteed their shirt.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

So I also think it's well, you know, it's a long old season as well. We're like half a dozen games in. Yeah. And there's a lot of these, you know, it there's a there's a balancing act between keeping these people motivated and ready, and that's a big part for both Stuart and and the manager to keep them ready because they're all they're gonna be needed.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

Yeah, injuries form, lots of different things would dictate. There's I'm sure if we sat here in two months' time, the starting 11 for the last three or four games could be very different than it is now. So um because we've got such strength and depth, I don't think what I will say is a couple of years ago it felt like we had eight or nine that if they were fit they were gonna play all the time. Yeah. I think the gaff will maybe agree with that. I think now we it it's the other way. It's it's there's eight or nine you know shirts that we feel that are up for grabs, um, which is really good for us. Um and I think the squad's uh probably stronger than it's ever been. Um and and hopefully we can have another good season.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

Well, again, I think that was a comment that the Cheshire manager made. He said uh he felt that the Truro setup was a lot stronger this year than it was in the National League last year on that basis in terms of your squad depth, but you know, he'd obviously done his homework on that.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

So I agree. I think I think the squad depth's important. I think we've recruited the right type of player, the right profile this um this off season as well. So that's that's that's helped again. Um yeah, and and I think when you sign for true as well, you've got to be a certain type of player, and I think um we have a certain mentality, us against the world sort of mentality, and we and we kind of lean on that, and I think that's makes us kind of that has done for years, even I'm going back sort of 20 years when I first started. Even then when we were playing more locally, we had the money, and that's against so we've always kind of leaned on that kind of that chip on our shoulder that and I think that help I think that helps us, you know, do the most travelling and people hating to come coming down to play us, it kind of kind of fuels us and motivates us.

SPEAKER_02 14:07

Yeah, I mean people I've noticed there's a few managers, like you've said, a few managers talking about that, like how well organized we are and mentioning budget and full time and that sort of thing, but you know, we still have to look at look at all the huge amount of things that are working against us in terms of you know where where are the facilities to train. You know, it was only a couple of years ago we didn't even have a ground. So for people to be sort of bemoaning our advantage that we're got ourselves organised, is uh I find it quite interesting.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

So, Stuart, um for the for the fans particularly who come to home games, um uh during the match, you know, they uh they could they'll see you in and John in the technical area, and uh you're you're kind of more of the animated of the two, I suspect, uh they they see. So uh so give us a bit of an insight as to what's going on. What you're talking about, uh, you know, and apart from you know maybe having a little chat with the referee's assistant occasionally, but you know, what else is going on there?

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Well, I think most of the time the gaffers asking me steak pasty or cheese and onion? No, uh where are you going on your holidays? It's normally it's normally me telling the gaffer that when I go grey, I'll look I'll look just like him. Call him bad. No. Um yeah, we I'll tell you the gaffer can go. He gets very animated. He he might look he might look calm at times, but uh I've seen him dish out a few air dries to the fourth official and the and the referee and the linesman. He can he knows how to go. Um but no, we we we're generally just talking about the game and um things that we could have done better. And I think in football, that's he mentioned it the other day in training. We we tend to focus a lot on the things we we could do better and what goes wrong and in a game you you focus on that. But always just tinkering, tweaking, contemplating whether we should tweak anything, if there's anything we see that that can we adapt and change anything. So it's it's just a constant sort of calibration of is what we're doing right. Um more so as the second half goes on, you you start contemplating changes and subs, less so in the first half, but but yeah, generally um generally just giving the fourth official a bit of stick.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

And in terms in terms of the subs, we mentioned it earlier, but um uh you know, we know uh we're very familiar now in in rugby union, particularly, where you know the whole of the front row gets changed like on minute number sixty. So in football, do you kind of have any sort of are you thinking right, 70 minutes in, you know, we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna hook uh Jack Stretton and Tom Tweedy and we're gonna bring on Omar Bogle and uh Ben Starkey or is or does that just kind of evolve?

SPEAKER_00 16:47

I think it just evolves. It just evolves the way the game's going. You know, are you in the ascendancy, might dictate one substitution? If we're chasing a game, we're probably gonna go more aggressive to to get back in the game. If we're leading, uh, we don't like to make too many changes to upset the flow. Um you always see in preseason, you make loads of subs and you and so yeah, it's just getting the balance. You know, we're constantly looking at the the data, the you know our players, their workload in the games, you know, what you're seeing visually, do they need to come off? Do people need a rest? Is there any niggles? So it's just a there's nothing that is pre-determined. There might be in some of say the League Cup games that we play in tonight because we've got managed minutes, so it's a little bit more predetermined than them. But in the league game, everything is about winning the game. So we try to make the best uh best decision at that.

SPEAKER_01 17:35

So so when you say looking at the data, uh, you know, because we've had some interesting conversations already this season about what goes on now, it's more well now it is full-time professional. So are you are you seeing real-time data or yeah?

SPEAKER_00 17:47

So we've we've got sort of the catapult pods, so we can see and we've got them rigged up, and we've also got the veal, which is set up live, so we can I say live, it's about 30 seconds behind. So that's really helpful. So you'll see us sometimes looking at the iPad and that's look checking something back. So if we've if there's a set piece or something we feel that's not quite worked, within 30 to 40 seconds, we're getting that live feed, so we can look at that to see if I don't know, say someone's lost their man or something that's not quite worked on a set piece, we can review that to see if we need to uh get a different message on, etc. So that's helpful. And then uh, like I said, with the catapult pods, um it's telling us sort of uh you know how much distance they've run, high speed running. And that's handy because you know the data can back up sometimes if you're saying someone you're not running enough, or you're not you're not doing this enough, or you're doing you know wasting energy conserving it. So it's all stuff you can potentially use. Obviously, the football is the most important thing, but that is just that extra couple of percent that just helps you.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

Now we've uh we've got a fan question here. It is anonymous, Stuart, so they didn't leave their name, but it's to do with data and tactics. Um so the the question is um over the last couple of seasons we've noticed that uh the Truro City have taken an awful lot of long throws, but I can't remember the last time we scored from one. So uh does the data support that? Or I mean uh do you use that as a tactic to uh uh is is long throws a key thing given that we don't seem to score any goals from them?

SPEAKER_02 19:13

I think I know who the anonymous questionnaire might be. Might be sat in this room with us, Stuart, by the way.

SPEAKER_00 19:20

Okay. Um I think No, that's no, this is totally.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

It wasn't from me.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

So I think when we were in the National League South previously, we were very successful, and I think our output from set pieces certainly long froze was was was good and it created a lot of chances and opportunities, uh, especially at home in the conditions it can be very difficult to defend. So I think I thought we were really successful in that season one. I think last season um it created opportunities, opportunities that we didn't necessarily capitalise upon. Probably because opposition teams are better, therefore they were uh they were better prepared for it. Um but I think when you have a weapon like like what Christian can do and what Zach can do, and you're in the final third, I think not 100% of the time, but high percentage of the time we're gonna put the ball in the box. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

Well, I'm convinced now, now the question has been asked by an anonymous fan that on Saturday we're gonna score at least twice from long throws. I can feel it coming now.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

So I mean, I think also with the data and stuff, it's it's hard to tell. You can look at just what you're gonna score for or or create from those set pieces, but it doesn't also show how opposition teams react, maybe reluctance to kick the ball out there, they might try to clear it in a different way, give away possession. It's creates uncertainty in them because people don't like to be under that pressure, do they?

SPEAKER_00 20:57

So so so a good way of uh of probably putting that, Travis, a lot of the goals we score the majority of the goals we score are from wide areas, whether that be across or build up play out wide to get the ball in. So I think the first goal Saturday was from a corner. Um I think Dino's goal came from working out wide, getting across, and gets put in that because it's from a wide area.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

So even Omar's ran in from out wide, aren't they?

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Yeah, but we do score a lot of goals from wide areas. So I think when you get an opportunity, it's essentially a dead ball to put it in the box. Um yeah. Do I absolutely think we could be better in those moments? I think yes we can. Uh it's something we work on every week. So that that's that's a part of our weekly training routine. Um so I think I think what you'll see is a high percentage of that continue continuing. Um but like I said, a lot of our goals come from wide.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

So that's great.

SPEAKER_02 21:51

So uh hopefully you'll pass that on to the anonymous uh listener.

SPEAKER_01 21:55

I'm sure the anonymous listener. Well, we've got we don't we've got one more question.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

We we would throw it short, but Some of our lads can't control the ball very well, so that's why we put it in the box.

SPEAKER_01 22:04

So uh the the final question on my on my list, and I think this might have come from it says another fan question on my notes, so I assume it came from somebody else. Um so at what point do you decide uh who's gonna play? When do you announce the team? And uh, you know, how how do you tell the ones that aren't involved that they're not involved? Do you tell them first or do you just announce the team? How does that work?

SPEAKER_00 22:24

No, I think um as the training week goes by, we generally tend sort of Thursday, Friday, we'll start working on um some shape elements of the game that are coming up, so lads will pretty much be able to work out what the starting lineup's gonna be. Um more often than not, if if if you if you win on a Saturday, players will expect to be in the team the next week, and players that are not in the team will sometimes expect not to be in it. That that doesn't always happen, but but yeah, I would imagine sort of Thursday, Friday, how we train lads will have a very good idea of what the starting lineup's gonna be. Um I don't necessarily think every time someone's not in the team you need to tell them. Um if maybe you're leaving somebody out that's been playing regularly and there's uh a reason for that, then you might pull that individual, but you you don't do that all the time. Um yeah, so it's it's it's uh again, it's a bit of a balancing act, but more often than not the lads will know sort of Thursday, Friday what the lineup's looking like.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

And and one question, this is a genuine question from myself, okay. I've made this up from a fan, but I'm always intrigued because you know you go off at half time, yeah, and uh and then the uh the the seven guys or how many there are on the on the bench go out onto the pitch and have a kick around and all that. And I I get why they're doing that, but I and then I'm thinking, well, they're not then in the changing room listening to the tactical talk and all that sort of stuff. So so how do you how do you get the balance right between them understanding what might be needed of them or being part of that versus I mean, do they go out? That's a good question. Just stay warm or that's a good question.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

Um obviously the work we do Thursday Friday, obviously through the week, but Thursday Friday is a lot more shape-related, game plan related. So those lads, in essence, should all know because we we're we're doing that, everyone's doing that. So everyone should have an awareness and an idea of kind of the game plan. If that changes during the game, you'll regularly see me and the gaffer turning around talking to the bench and uh and saying stuff and talking to the individuals, say it's uh centre half or right back or forward, and we're saying we want them to do something. But we're normally turning around to the lads who might come on in that position to relay that message to them. So we're kind of telling them as the game go so that they're aware of what we're wanting, as well as telling the players on the pitch. Uh and then uh yeah, in the second half, before any player comes on, we we generally tell them what's expected of them in that position in that role. So um yeah, so don't necessarily think that they all need to be in halftime to to hear that. Um yeah, they kind of get a running commentary of that during the game from us as well.

Cool. Okay, so two home games coming up, fellas, Walton and Hersham Saturday, and then Salisbury Tuesday. So there'll be a lot of expectation to uh play well in those games, come home with the points. So uh we're hoping for a big crowd, I imagine.

SPEAKER_00 25:10

Yeah. Um Saturday. Hopefully the weather's nice again, and we after we uh after we won Saturday, hopefully we can build some more momentum and uh and uh if we keep performing well the the crowds will slowly increase as they sort of did two years ago when we were.

SPEAKER_02 25:25

The club's been putting on a lot of special events. I think the last one was a garden party. You questioned if there was a splat there at, but there wasn't one. Well I didn't see one, but Ladies' Day. Ladies' Day this weekend this weekend. Oh, is it okay? Ladies' day against Walton and Hersham and uh virtual horse racing.

SPEAKER_00 25:42

Yeah. Um to make sure a few of the lads turn up 140.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

And I think we're gonna introduce the women's team to to everybody, so that'll be a good chance for fans to see those as well. But you know, hopefully we keep winning and fans keep enjoying it and have a good day out.

SPEAKER_01 25:58

Well, we've got the women's team, uh, we've got we're gonna be talking to the women's team. We're gonna do a special episode with them in uh two or three weeks' time. Uh we've got John and Veronica Noble on next. So uh so guys, thank you very much for your time today, and uh yeah, best of luck at the weekend, and uh yeah, hopefully we'll see a few of the non regular players in action tonight against Lister City as well.
