kaid mohamed

I wondered about this, but Nico left in September and Mohammed signed for them in October so unfortunately its not like they worked together then. They will of course know each other from when he played for us on loan, so its not out of the question. Mohammed does seem to have a preference for the ...

Consortium update

The first friendly is july 15th meaning we've got to make at least three signings in just over month to even have enough players for it! (not including the bench!!), but I suppose we would be worried more if they didn't announce friendlies too.

3 months from now !!!!!

We won't get relegated - complete madness to think we will too, in my opinion. We will get wins and draws between now and the end of the season, starting with this weekend when we beat Kiddy 3-0. I'm not worried about the future - I truly believe that KT will find the right buyers who will pump mon...

Torquay v Chester Tue 10th

I too thought that the attendance did not look like the twelve-hundred we supposedly had. I felt really sorry for the players last night. It was clear to me they hadn't been given any sort of instruction as to what to do with the ball; they quite clearly did try for a good duration of the game, but ...

Torquay v Chester Tue 10th

Being outplayed again, Chester playing simple, fast effective football. Deadly on the counter. Torquay aren't playing as a unit at all, hopeless balls upfront. Ryan Bowman with a great chance when he took it past the goalie, should have squared it to Briscoe to pop it into an empty net. Instead, he ...

Who can turn it around?

What you are saying to play a 3-5-2 is a good idea but the right side wingback could be the problem now the lad from Plymouth has gone. I think we have the players for 4-1-3-2 as we've got to change from the last couple of weeks as we are so weak in the middle.(Not good enough) :keepie: Yes it cert...

Hargreaves poll

Yes, the predicament we are in is one of many and we as people can't do anything about it on here. I will be making my judgment within the coming weeks because when the going gets tough I feel the only way you can really see how good a manager is is by the changes they make, then I will say if I thi...

Who can turn it around?

If Chris gets back to basics and gets some discipline back in the side there is no reason why he can't turn the tide but it means putting Briscoe back up front with Bowman and Mcdonald with Downes at centre back with the French guy fullback. The midfield needs addressing and after Saturday. I still...

Matt.
Think that pretty much says it all! Standard player with not much in the way of creativity. Not a lot more to say really.

Bye Bye Billy?

Its funny really, what confidence can do to a player. Think of when he first came on loan, scored a few goals, beat a man and created goals too. But then when form slips and the crowd starts to get on the team's back- oh how things can change. I think he was a nervous guy, tried to make himself look...

Daniel Leadbitter to Bristol Rovers

I heard this on Radio Bristol today. I thought to myself is that the same leadbitter who played for us. yes they havent done that well in pre season games and only beat Gloucester City 4-3. but freindliess are not a good measurment of how the season will pan out as we well know. I think we have put...

Haven't they lost most of their pre-season games?
