He's not an attacking midfielder FFS. He's a ball winnning tackler that gets the ball and passes it to someone else. Like Hockers used to for Alex. He's had one season where he's been able to get forward as he had 2 other midfielders to look after breaking up opposition play if they counterattacked...

Lee Mansell was not missed tonight. Chris - you can't compare Mansell with Lathrope as they play different roles, Lathrope being a defensive midfielder sitting in front of the back four and Mansell an attacking midfielder. I thought Lathrope was immense tonight.

We have to forget the results of teams around us because if they're winning, other teams are losing and being dragged into the mix - like Exeter and Cheltenham (neither team I'd like to see relegated by the way, but if it's them or us ......). We have to take each match as it comes and hope we claw ...

Lathrope
Pearce
Nicholson
Downes
Harding
and to all the knockers of Danny Stevens - he played okay and cranked up the tempo of the game when he got the ball.

None of you could muster 100 IQ points between you. We do give out tickets. Kids don't give a f***. The kids you see at games are the ones who took up the offer. We sent hundreds to Westlands and about 6 were taken. Quite how neither of you managed to infer that from my previous postings on the sub...

Scott - I have seen more relegation battles than you have had hot dinners. Apart from stating the obvious ie that you are so far removed from the club that you don't know what the hell you are talking about, believe me you are wrong on this one. This year is nothing like last year. We had the likes...

No, Taxilady - it is no surprise to us guys what you ladies can conceal in your handbags !

9.45 pm - It's hissing down again !! Forecast for showers only tomorrow so match should be on. But it's going to be another pudding of a pitch. We have to play at a much higher tempo than last Saturday to have any chance. Surely if the fans can see it, Hargreaves and Hodges should realise that was s...

Hilarious! If you believe any of that to be true, then forgive my scepticism on any judgement you make on a footballer! The case with Mansell is simple, bar a couple of seasons when he was surrounded by a talented team, he has always been a lower League Two-upper Conference player. That he made the...

Mine isn't an opinion, mine is actual knowledge. Believe it or not, it is possible for other people to know stuff that you do not. This is one such occasion. I don't f**king care if you believe me or not, that doesn't change the truth of my (repeated) statement that your big idea of getting in 1000...

Whatever the rights and wrongs of your encounter with the stewards on Saturday, the question must be asked: what gives you the right to taunt opposing supporters, or for that matter anybody else? It's tantamount to stirring up trouble, and I'm not surprised the stewards regarded the bunch of you wi...

Steve - when I went through the Pop Side turnstile at my customary 2.57 pm, I did notice a group of stewards talking to a group of lads who didn't look as if they were trouble makers and I wondered what was going on. Obviously, we only have your version of events on here and obviously exchanges betw...

We all like to voice an opinion I'm as bad as the next person but people in this club are tearing a few players apart when the manager needs them most. :@[/quote] I'm sorry what did I say that was "tearing" Mansell apart?[/quote] :aww: I don't think Arcadia was having a pop at you in parti...

Bliddy 'ell, Hector - bet you've got your anorak on !! Interesting statistics and yes - never a dull moment watching lil ol' Torquay. I really thought this was going to be a 'Mid Table' season and then going forward from there. Never thought we'd be in this position yet again so soon. Great Escape M...

Come on lads - let's not throw in the towel just yet. We were all shell-shocked after Saturday's abyssmal display but it's past and gone. I was as despondent as anyone on here. But maybe, just maybe, that gutless display will result in CH demanding more determination and more commitment which could ...
