Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Having watched the highlights I realised that my original criticism of Tomlinson and Booth was entirely justified - both had poor games and were responsible not only for the three goals but the also the chance for the hit-bar and numerous other Taunton chances. Tomlinson in particular had a shocker....

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

Took a friend who was new to TUFC to last night’s game and he could not see why the players were claiming to be full time professionals, why I supported them and why 2,000+ other souls would want to turn up to see such dross. Needless to say he will not be back. Actually, not even sure I will be bac...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

My God that was a poor performance! We were absolutely clueless. Only one shot on target (and that a tame effort straight at the keeper) all game and a horror show at the back gifting them the three goals Taunton hardly deserved. Tomlinson and Booth both had shocking games. Not one player came out o...

MOTM - Aveley

Jarvis - terrorised their defence and linked up well with team mates when coming deep Judd-Boyd - some surging runs deep into Aveley's defence Ash - very energetic and a good partner for Jarvis Jenkins Davis - ran his socks off even if there was not always much end-product Marshall - marshalled his ...

Torquay United v Aveley F C Saturday 24 Feb KO 3pm

I do think it will be a good crowd. Tried to but a ticket for BB - no availability in Blocks D and E and only three tickets left in C.

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024

Like Skillsy, I have refrained from calling for the management to go but the head is now realising that the heart is right. Messrs Johnson and Downes seem unable to organise, discipline and motivate this bunch of so-called professional footballers and so must leave the job to a younger, fresher team...

Braintree v Torquay Sat 17th Feb 2024

We are bottom of the form league - 5 losses in the last five games, the only club in the league with this record.

What an omnishambles we have become.

MOTM - Truro

Archer - never stopped running and put his body on the line repeatedly
Halstead - made crucial early saves to delay the inevitable
Da Silva - made a difference when he appeared
McGavin - mainly for his shot that hit the post
Collins - really tried hard with little end-product

Torquay United v Truro City, Boxing Day 3pm.

My take on yesterday's game (for what it's worth....) is similar to others. We started without any energy, any belief and any system and were totally outplayed by a Truro team who were set up to avoid conceding but realised we were there for a handbagging. For the first quarter we could hardly get o...

Dartford v Torquay United, 25th Nov 2023, 3pm

Crikey, I know "highlights"/"lowlights" can be misleading but that looked like we hadn't a clue - repeated joke defending and a midfield which appeared non-existent. I think we must recognise now are a bog-standard lower-mid table team in a poor league.

MOTM - Yeovil

Donellan - some thrusting runs caused the only panic experienced by their defence Da Silva - our most threatening spell came when he joined the action and put over some excellent crosses Lovett - made a couple of good saves to keep the score down but I thought he was slow to react for the third (may...

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

Just got home after another object lesson from the opposition on how to play football. Fortunately, despite their heavyweight forward power, lax finishing let us off with only a mini-thrashing. But really, although we had 8 attempts, 3 on target and the one goal we were just not at the races. Apart ...

MOTM - Maidstone

Moxey - dependable in defence
Halstead - great save from the penalty kept us in it
Lapslie - gave his all, all over the park
Tomlinson - best I've seen him play
Jarvis - but should have scored

Torquay United v Maidstone United, Saturday 7th October, 3pm

Crikey, we were poor first half today - could scarcely get out of our half and gifted Maidstone chance after chance. Fortunately they were unable to take advantage and we turned round at half time a man down and with only three attempts but two on target (lame affairs though). Second half we were be...
