Torquay United v Hartlepool United 31/8/19

Gary Johnson comments in Devon Live :- https://www.devonlive.com/sport/football/gary-johnson-relishing-prospect-torquay-3268575 Buried in that report : ''In the wake of Mo Touray's return to Newport County after a month's loan, Johnson is effectively picking from a squad of 17.'' I guess that Touray...

Defensive Fragility

We have conceded 12 goals - all the teams that have conceded more than 12 are in the down zone ! And poor ole' Chorley have a goal difference of -12. Ouch. Shurely 1 clean sheet - was with Edwards in for Hall ? I hope Joe Lewis gets his chance but we're only 7 games in so hopefully the defence will ...

Ex-Gull watch

BTW it's 180 miles from Torquay to Brum and 80 from Swindon . . . that's 100 extra not 50

Let's hope ex-Gull Dan Sparkes is off form today !

WYG - when you're in Yorkshire Swindon's SW surely ?
Newport's a stretch maybe - but great to see them back in the League after decades out. ATB

Torquay United v Aldershot Town 24/8/19

Let's not forget Jamie Reid's tally so far this season includes a worldie, yesterday's cracker and Gawd 'elp us, a header no less. Well done Jamie.

I noticed a certain Dan Sparkes scoring for Barnet yesterday against Wrexham where Luke Young and Jazzi Barnum-Bobb seem to have their places tied down now. At Newport, Labadie and Leadbitter benched. For the South West Clubs a great start to the season with Bristol City, Plymouth, Exeter, Swindon, ...

Bromley v Torquay United 10/8/19

Mellow - I agree. It's OK give it time. And give the Players faith. That'll repay.
Numpte - there's two 'E's in it ! ATB

IMHO a great result - listening on Radio 7000 miles away - our Boys fought back. It'll be OK. Just 3 games.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Of course Fred. Undeniably. It's not sour grapes as you say - it's a TUFC chat. IMO few would agree with you about the Penalty, particularly on replay, but so what ? I'm just noting some of the ups and downs. We got well beat but some things might have gone differently - the message is onwards and u...

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Be it a male or female Ref, that's not a penalty. Play it on the highlights and slowmo it. Our defender is not moving and the Moors Guy jumps through him.
Shocking decision IMO.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Hello Guys and Gals - I watched the 'Highlights' and have some thoughts. Congrats to all you stalwarts making the effort to attend for a very disappointing result. I know my impressions won't help much but anyway. The 'Moors' penalty :slap: that one's for the Ref. I watched it several times and on a...

New Signings?

Teigngull - gotta agree on that - with all due respect to JLL !

Was confused at first, thinking we were getting Adam Webster - but he's Brighton bound ?

Joe Lewis - knockout signing !!

Next one in is ?
