Good, Higgins has failed to live up to his pre-season hype and is not good enough defensively. Slowly but surely I’m hoping Owers can replace our weak links - McGinty next? Have only seen Higgins play three times but he's been solid each time. He made one goal-saving tackle on Saturday and was a th...

I thought all handballs outside the box by GKs were red cards? Or is it only if it denies a goalscoring chance? The 'red card for denying a goal-scoring chance' law was relaxed about a year ago. There is no way he would have been sent off for this. Most likely a yellow card for deliberate handball ...

Well watch for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhs2flYFLuM Yes the keeper may have left the box, but did the whole of the ball cross the whole of the line? From that angle (which was also that of the majority of the Yellow Army) it cannot be accurately judged and I don't think the ref s...

I wonder why they didn't show the penalty shout or goalkeeper's handball :}

Reid put in a solid 6/10 shift when we had the ball Without it he was awful.

Efete
Davis
Higgins
Murphy
Gowling

Brilliant.

Not a lot to add from what’s been said. Thought we played well and certainly didn’t deserve to lose. Really impressed with Davis and Efete. If the latter finds a bit more confidence he could become a very good centre half. Higgins was excellent too. If I’m honest about the non-penalty, I thought Eva...

I don't think this is correct, as he was on loan with us when we were back in L2 if I recall correctly. I distinctly remember seeing him turn out for us away at Darlo- granted he was still awful but it wasn't in the conference days. Although ironically, I'm pretty sure he was on loan at Eastbourne ...

Ashley Barnes. Played a few games on loan from Plymouth, don’t think he scored... now playing in the Premier league

Was going to be my shout. Saw him away at Eastbourne, if I recall, and was probably the worst performance I've ever seen from anyone in a Torquay shirt.

When was the last time we were 3 up in a competitive game?

First time we've been two up since the last game of last season?

Five and a half minutes of 1st half highlights and just over a minute from the 2nd half - is that a fair reflection of the game? Great effort from Reid, despite the poor pass from Lathrope. I've watched that McQuoid miss about a hundred times in the hope that one time it goes in. We've all been ther...

Can't make this up.

Nuts. Thought that was scrapped once the "national" teams got involved.
