MOTM - Tonbridge

Moxey good covering at the back Tomlinson kept control of the handy centre forward Ash just kept running and a good goal Harris despite a few errors seemed pretty solid and happy to go forward Collins fair amount of creativity until he got injured. Great pass for the first goal

Torquay Utd v Aldershot Town - Tue 01/11/22 7.45pm

What a difference last night! I heard a Shot supporter afterwards saying they were stunned at being slaughtered. Loved the setup with Hall in front of the back four then Da Silva and Wearne out wide running rings around their backs. Quick moves with balls being played to feet or in front of a runner...

Moxey - his experience showed

Torquay vs Bromley 5/03/2022

Pretty impressed with the overall performance yesterday against a very big team. Plenty of commitment and good defending but no real threat up front. Would have liked to see us pass and run more as they were so big they can't have been speedy. Abysmal ref who completely ignored the wrestling matches...

MOTM - Woking

Lewis - put heart and soul in and the only one shouting to encourage the team as well as at the 4th official
Halstead - kept it down to single figures!!

Boxing Day Fixture v Yeovil Town FC

Picking up portugal's comments I too am desperate to get back to Plainmoor but health reasons mean I can't at the moment. It's not just Plainmoor but most shops (especially supermarkets) as well and I know several others the same as me. So I am sure there are many who would love to be back on the te...

Torquayunited v FC Halifax 14/4/18

Can't believe I am agreeing with most of the sentiments posted as I've been a supporter for well over 50 years. This year has been so ruddy depressing and now the team seem resigned to relegation - just look at the defence on Tuesday. How come we have played good football at times but only for short...

MOTM - Guiseley

Keating - kept running up front Clarke - good awareness and a couple of critical saves ... one great reaction save. Gosling - seemed to moved around the pitch well and looked to move the ball Pittman - good little terrier Higgins - long throws again caused problems but needs to use a long ball less

Guiseley v Torquay United 19/08

Just back from a weekend up north hence a 'late' posting and to be honest haven't read all the posts in this thread so pols if I repeat. However, it's prob been said we threw the match away in the last ten minutes. Atrocious first thirty minutes where it was all hoof and hope. No midfield - in fact ...

Season tickets

Don't quite fit the categories. Have already said I'm ready to buy a season ticket but can't say I won't be asking myself questions. After 55 years I'm not ready to give up now!

Final Game - North Ferriby @ 12:15

Gutted to have missed yesterday's match but pure relief when checking my phone for updates. A season of total inconsistency especially against the lower teams but a glimmer of positive hope from several of the final games. Respect to Nicho for persevering and I am sure he has learned so much this se...

Final Game - North Ferriby @ 12:15

Ruddy heck. Can't get to the match today so just going have to be a bag of nerves at home! Think the support will be fantastic today so I'll just shout from here when we score - have already warned the neighbours. Reckon nerves from the players will affect the opening 15 mins but confident we will e...

The truth is out should Nicholson be sacked

What's the point in sacking Nicho? We're so late in the season any change is liable to cause major problems and I genuinely think he has tried his very best to get the team going. I am sure his heart is in the Club and you just need to see his reaction lately, shows he is fully committed. Finally th...

Torquay v Solihull 22/11/16

That's more like it! I was hopeful after Saturday's second half performance but it was far better than expected last night. Slow start but they all quickly started to pressure Solihull and never let up. Thankfully their defence was poor but still a super hat-trick from Moore. However the key for me ...

Where's everyone gone in the forum?

Seems like there is still interest in the Forum from comments above but mainly a readership. I'm only an occasional 'poster' but find it an ideal means of getting my feelings out there and to hear others thoughts. Maybe we are all getting into a rut with no success to enthuse about and a bit fed up ...
