Torquay United v Ebbsfleet United 25/1/20

We must remember, any formation, team set up only works if you have the players to fit, GJ's default game plan, relies on having a fully fit, Wynter, Davis, CLE, Hall and Little, we don't have that at the moment. Then change the default!! Show some true managerial quality by changing the formation ...

Torquay United v Ebbsfleet United 25/1/20

I’ve said it before: GJ signed up a new striker who we pay full time wages to each and every week. The fact that he doesn’t even get a look in with a team performing to the dismal level that we sunk to on Saturday is outrageous. Give Olaf a game and please don’t tell me he’s too young or inexperienc...

Torquay United v Ebbsfleet United 25/1/20

The good news is that should these quality tactics and formations keep us up, we’ll get to enjoy them again next year!

The loyalty to GJ is truly outstanding. Most of the content backing it up (along with the nostalgia) is totally irrelevant but still admirably supportive.
Anyway, here’s hoping for 3 points on Saturday!

And you cant categorically state we will go down either. Form can change. Reid might just stay. Who cares about the NLS champs from 2yrs ago? Who predicted Brighton or Bournemouth would be in the premier league after playing us a few years ago? I never have said we will definitely go down. I’ve sai...

Last hope??? some on here - as I've said before - thought we'd walk this league..... whereas others would be happy - with the squad we had - a mid table finish. thats what I was hoping for. if we were to finish nearer the bottom, so be it, the important thing is to stay in the NL and we will achiev...

We are in a relegation battle without a doubt. Trouble is all the people who think we are deluded to say this are obviously ardent supporters. This adoration automatically puts up a defence mechanism where they feel they have to try and undermine the people who are taking an honest and unbiased view...

3. GJ must think he's "good enough" - otherwise he wouldn't have a contract. That was my assumption too. So when we’re in need of a goal why not throw him on for 20 minutes? He’ll learn a lot more playing football than he will keeping the seats warm whilst talking to disillusioned out of ...

And so it goes on. And you lemmings still defend him? 5 at the back? It doesn't bloody work. Substitutes are there to change the game......if given time. Players don't look fit. I could go on Don’t worry wbw. A couple of new defenders in today so no doubt one of them will be able to play alongside ...

Thank you forevertufc. courteous and sensible responses last The best season I had following the mighty gulls was without doubt whilst Leroy was in charge in our promotion year. Naivety was rife but the entertainment and results will be hard to beat. If we hadn’t managed to snatch relegation away fr...

Alex Ferguson eh? Joined St Mirren whilst they were struggling in the Scottish 2nd division after an unremarkable year with East Stiling. He was 33 at the time. Within 3 years StMirren were Scottish first division champions with a team average age below 20! I bet in 1974 the fans of St Mirren would ...

If I was putting a plan together it would involve somebody half the current managers age who is chomping at the bit to utilise his new coaching qualifications and exploit his lower league contacts. What people need to remember is that Torquay United is a club with huge potential. We should stop thin...

Lots of people backing the manager which is fantastically loyal but other than insults directed at those posting rational concerns, I don’t see a lot of valid arguments to back up their shortsightedness. The continued claims about our injury ravaged team hold no water as far as I’m concerned. We had...

Forevertufc I am not a recruitment specialist and how can us mere supporters have any sort of clue as to who is both available and affordable. I’d love GJ to get things right and stay as manager. However, we need to take the blinkers off before it’s too late.

Good to see Koszela given another opportunity when we needed a goal on Saturday! Oh no my mistake! We don’t bring on an enthusiastic young striker who we are paying full tip me wages to each week to see if he can offer something a little different and maybe nick the points. Decided to have a little ...
