I suppose it shows how quickly contacts can achieve outcomes! Shame we don't seem to have any...

Paul Trollope? Charlie Oatway? Alan McLoughlin?

Embarrassing! The football world must be laughing at us. We might as well have told the world that Messi had signed for us and kidded ourselves he would be happy to do that for free and unformalised without anyone else noticing and pinching him. So we have a manager that the fans have no confidence ...

Would be happy to see Young, Bowman, Briscoe, Ajala, MacDonald, Richards ( please someone help restore this poor lad's confidence which has been destroyed this season by poor management) here next year - Downes, though I like, has been making game losing mistakes for two years, ditto Rice, Pearce - ...

Totally agree with tomogull I really want to hear how Chris Hargreaves accounts for the dazzling form in September after an awful start and why the team was never able to recapture anything close to that form - if he is unable to analyse how he turned it round after Gateshead etc and then how and wh...

Yes I was very surprised to hear Dave Thomas effectively comment this afternoon that this standard of footballer was all we could afford so there was no choice...mmmm...when you've seen the self same group perform much much better and then also look at the teams with even smaller ( often much smalle...

Hugely positive and , crucially, timely. So often we've seen appointments made too late, with retained lists already decided and then the close season almost over before anyone of any gravitas is brought in to effect change. Sturrock has contacts, he has respect and experience - leadership! Finally!...

Leadership, as the previous posters cited, is exactly what has been missing since Martin Ling became unwell. That is at every level - pitch, management and board level.

So so many mistakes this season. I have to confess that releasing Mansell and Nicholson would have been my choice too, however experience is exactly what this side lacks. A director of football is desperately required. We need contacts, some objective thinking and experience upstairs - sadly had thi...

Just a thought...how about a greatest ever goals feature?

Thanks for this fascinating feature! It's helped throw a little sunshine onto an otherwise awful season.

I was one of the tardy posters who didn't get his act together to vote and is now regretting not getting Paul Smith, Wes Saunders and Jim McNichol on the board - travesty!

Remember Elliot Benyon giving Barnes an absolute roasting for his attitude and team ethic in a game when he was on loan here ...how fortunes change!

I think Rodney deserves it - that night against Scarbrough with his two ruthless and single minded assaults on goal, the actual assault on him leading to the Scarbrough red card, that wonder goal from Steve McCall which was just a thing of aesthetic beauty and the team goal for Gibbs - together with...

Actually, it struck me having seen players of the like of Sturridge and Roberts in the list, that until quite recent retirements a team of former Gulls operating in the football league / premier league could be quite handy! 1 kelvin davis ( Southampton) 2 Adam smith ( Bournemouth) 3 Liam rosenior (h...

Amazing when you consider some of the forgotten players.... Wes Saunders, Paul Smith, Phil Lloyd, Ian Twitchen, Charlie Oatway, Paul Trollope, Sean Joyce, Paul Hall, Dean Edwards, Alan McLoughlin, Don O Riordan, Phil King, Colin Anderson, Jim McNichol, Justin Fashanu, Duane Darby, Steve MCalll..all ...
