A few managerial stats to ponder

Here are some stats/opinions based on what I have seen:

We have 1 good central midfielder (Lathrope) and 1 good striker (Yeoman). Alan Knill sent them both on loan. Good one Alan.

TorquayFans.com Q&A: Eunan O'Kane

Fantastic feature Nick, thanks for taking the time to do this. For Eunan: You put in a superb individual performance in the 3-1 win at home to Plymouth. Was there an increased sense of excitement and motivation in the dressing room before the games against Argyle that season? Did Martin do anything ...

Re: Torquay United v York City - 5/10/13

I don't think sacking Knill will help us right now (even though I didn't want him in the 1st place). We did alright in our previous 2 games, even if the result in Newport was bad. Today's result is poor but having a new loan signing at CB with TC can't have helped. Give Alan the opportunity to turn ...

Harding injured? Off for Damon after 42 minutes.

Re: The Bookies Odds Thread

Fleetwood have a quality squad but they were pony after they sacked Mellon. I just think the board might sabotage another campaign with a rash sacking.

The Bookies Odds Thread

Usually, every team will be 18/1. The fair price is 23/1 but you can still find some value sometimes, such as Yeovil +28 last season. If you want to back Torquay for the craic, this is a good market because I don't think we'll go up but we could exceed our lowly expectations. In other news, I think ...

Re: Retain or Release?

According to the some journalist on twitter (https://x.com/gchase1), Knilly is at the Man Utd v Liverpool U21s game, no doubt watching one of Liverpool's many England U21 internationals.

Was looking at those tables and how about this for a stat:

Re: Our next manager

It's a good point, compensation for gaffers seems quite cheap when compared to transfer fees for players and it would be shrewd business to get someone like Steve Burr in who worked wonders at Northwich and can count himself very unfortunate not to have been promoted this season. However, with our f...

Re: The Bookies Odds Thread

That's a tough one to take, especially when the less likely one came in. Had a late back of Real Madrid to qualify at 95 tonight, thought Diego Lopez was gonna make me some money at the end there.

Re: Retain or Release?

Retain: Saah, Downes, Cruise, Howe, Jarvis, Yeoman

I considered Rice, Oastler and Morris but I just think there are better players out there.

Wishlist: Amankwaah, McDonald, Benyon.

Re: Our next manager

I'd imagine that if Adkins was mentioned, it was only in jest. I think Warnock is unlikely but plausible if Plymouth weren't interested. If it did happen, then Keith Curle would be a good man to come in as 'Head Coach'. They've worked together at Palace and QPR, where Curle was highly respected as a...

Re: The Bookies Odds Thread

Yeah, I'll give you that one. I'm just in favour of keeping betting separate from my support of Torquay. Lets hope that everyone's relegation bet is a loser and I can spend my Aldershot winnings on a night of celebration. Incidentally, Powers have gone in to 80/1 but Coral are standing firm at 100s....
