Torquay United v Yeovil Town, Tues 7th Nov, 7:45pm

In Gary we trust - just ask SG, he will tell you why ...., because he got us promoted out of this league and got us to the play off final.
But he has actually achieved nothing for us has he?

Torquay United v Bath City, Sat 4th Nov. 3pm

What do you expect from a club owned by Osborne? From day 1 I predicted we'd end up where we are now. You blame Gary Johnson, I don't. Far from realistic your memory is short and way off the mark. You quote Chesterfield as if they are something we should aspire to. Do you have any idea how littered...

Torquay United v Bath City, Sat 4th Nov. 3pm

You like others have a short memory. Achieved nothing? Promotion out of this division and a play off final the following season. Relegation doesn't take away from the fact that he achieved those things or perhaps in your opinion we never got to League One under Leroy because we ended up getting rel...

Torquay United v Bath City, Sat 4th Nov. 3pm

Looking at the highlights and reading the report of the game by Culmstockgull I think the doom and gloom fraternity are disappointed that we seemed up for a battle and ground out a decent win while the 'hopeless' defence kept a clean sheet. I'll gladly take the 3 points and the stick but they seem ...

I don't think he extended the contracts of the failing players, they are already in long term deals. I think only Hall and Moxey signed new contracts and Ash, Da Silva, Stobbs and Dawson are new signings. I would put a question mark against re-signing Hall because if your budget is limited you can'...

George Edwards

Why would he be so desperate if he has a budget to work with? Perhaps a freebie from his son is the best it gets? Because he's blown the budget on players that are not fit for purpose and in some cases (Dawson) never play. Extended contracts to players who got us relegated and again, week after wee...

Hampton + Richmond v Torquay United Sat 28/10/23 3PM

Just another day at the office for Johnson, serving up more crap. If we can not beat WSM and now Hampton, we have no chance against Bath and Yeovil. We will be fighting relegation by Christmas. And, there there are still some on here who believe Johnson is the best man for the job and that we won't...

He certainly has an interesting profile, drink driving, disqualified driving, chased all over the north west by the police, but not the first or last of torquay players with a questionable past. but he has some talent, you dont survive 7 years in the Man U academy because you know someone and judgi...

10 League Games in 39 Days

Commencing on Saturday 21st October and ending on Tuesday 28th November United have 10 League games in 39 days with 6 games away from home. Given our small squad this will be exceedingly tough even for a Full Time Team especially if we lose key players to injury or suspension. Is this fixture situa...

Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

It was both of them up top today but Ash has struggled to be effective Think we saw the best of Jarvis last season with Nouble doing a lot of the hold up play That's right. Jarvis hit a purple patch last season but in 7 years he has not managed to score 50 goals. Hardly a record to pin your hopes o...

Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

Torquay 1 Maidstone 3 Sadly, this could be the result that highlights our shortcomings. Being a cup game, I can't see any loan signings appearing. I'm afraid our shortcomings were highlighted ages ago and the greatest one of those is Johnson. Whatever the result tomorrow we are light years away fro...

Or Johnson's management. Not got the best record with loanees has he?
