Great result today- well done ot the management and the players. Thought Labadie was superb - any chance of him signing in the summer? Also thought Gus delt with the centre forward well (for most of the game anyway).

The board was credited with saving the club - What wil be said of it when we are back in the Conference, for we ARE Conference bound - make no mistake!! What has been done to make sure our leagues status? Our poor performance has been gonig on for months. Why oh why Downes up front witrh Benyon on t...

Did'nt go today - listened on the radio. Must say I never thought we would score once we went behind. I no longer have any faith in Ling or Taylor. Tactics are predicatable and largely ineffective and I believe we are in a relegation battle. This is the first season I have not wanted to go to Plainm...

At last time to post! Delighted with the win last night and I cannot fault the players for effort. Well done lads! Thought Rene, Manse and the two centre backs had really good games. However, thought our full backs were caught out on a number of occasions. Time for Cruise and Leadbetter. Ling also n...

Inept performance today, in fact, I cannot remember the last game where I saw us play really well (I think it was Accrington). We tried hard but really did not pressurize a very poor Wimbledon side. It is interesting to note that after we score a late equalizer at home it is the oppostion who press ...

Never been a fan of the view that when I pay money for something I should also be grateful . I guess I will be placed in the negative camp but nevertheless I think AustrianAndy and Coley have some valid points (and I hope they continue to contribute to this forum). I do not expect us to win every we...

Really fed up that we cannot defend a lead successfully. Saying that, we did not deserve to win. Overall, I thought we were poor and I am still not convinced by Ling's tactics. In all honesty, they were the better team overall. However it was interesting to see their fans celebrate the equaliser as ...

Walshy,
Just to say I'm a 51 year old miserable git that stands in the Pop (under stanchion 2) and think your idea of the fanatics and flags are great ideas! Can I have one to do with the same old bird ? Brilliant!!
Good luck and lets show the unmentionables what real support is about!!!

Well done to the players and Ling today. Sounded much better and we seemed to be far more positive in our approach tro the game. Hopefully this is the first of a number of much improved performances up to and through the festive period.

I know I might be accused of not being a true supporter but I did'nt go today because I am simply fed up with Ling's tactics. Not only are we playing football that consists of simply sitting back and inviting pressure but we are now performing badly doing that!! Sorry, losing faith in Ling rapidly -...

I do not expect Torquay to play like Barcelona but I am concerned that our away performances have seemed to be so dire. I have not been to any away games and rely on reports on this forum and listening to the radio and it seems that we spend the vast majority of time defending. Even at home games we...

First of all, congratulations to Martin Rice. He has worked hard and has taken his opportunity. Deserves to keep his place for the next game. However, I am increasingly concerned about our performances. Listened today and again we sounded like a team that had very little chance of actually scoring -...

Like those above, I think we get well beaten. Without Howe, we have very little chance of scoring - don't buy the argument that Bodin will come good and I can't see Jarvis or Stevens scoring. Last two games point to us having a long and very hard rest of the season unless we bring in a proven goal s...

Only listened to that dross today. Like many others I can accept losing to a non-league team and good luck to Harrogate in the next round. What I cannot take is a lack of effort by tha majority of our team mentioned by some who were there. If any player cannot be bothered, then please do the decent ...

Absolute rubbish! Take away Howe and we simply do not have another effective striker - as it was said on the radio, there have been a number of games this season at home where we have missed a have full a hatful of chances - clearly we need to go into the loan market and find another player. Jarvis,...
