MOTM - Weston

Jude-Boyd. Superb going forward. Great young man. I loved his Post Match attention to the Sponsers and Young Fans. Dean Moxey. His experience saved us from a loss. Stobbs. In the right place for Archers pass and perfect cross for Goal No 2. Archer. Purely for his work to set up the opening goal. A l...

Full time V Part Time

Driving home from Plainmoor on Monday I listened to Dave Thomas on Radio Devon and he was very clear that we must remain Full Time. I respect his opinion. As a retired Accountant I am always interested in the numbers and I have said for a long time the Club has been living in the past in a financial...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

standupsitdown in your post yesterday you missed one of Tauntons games namely Slough at Home on 11th April.

Taunton look very vulnerable. I think they have lost 5 on the spin, have a very dodgy pitch, and could well lose the next 4 which include Farnborough away who are in very good form.

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

I have just had a look at the remaining fixtures in April. I have assumed Dover, Havant and Eastbourne are going down. So it is one from 4 to join them namely Hemel Hempstead 45 points to date, TUFC 44 points, Dartford 40 points and Taunton 40 points. Dartford are -16 goal diff and play Worthing at ...

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

Just back from a rocking Plainmoor. At last we saw in the first half a truly committed performance from the Yellows. First to the ball, committed in the tackle, fighting like hell to get the ball back if possession lost and really we did not allow H & R to get any foothold into the game. The pen...

Aaron Downes Comments Post Tonbridge.

I was absolutely gobsmacked when Aaron Downes said "there are clear issues in our goals against column that should have been addressed a long time ago" This is an extraordinary comment made yesterday in the Post Match Interview that I had to play it again to check I had heard correctly. Al...

Torquay United v Hamptom & Richmond Borough Sat23rd (Devon Day)

Dave I do wonder if the players were so shocked that they had to drive to the game in their owns cars that it brought home to them the enormity of the task before them given their very poor form. 2 wins in 16 for a Full Time Professional Team shows beyond doubt that something very wrong is going on ...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

I just watched Aaron Downes Press Call from yesterday. I like Aaron and I know he has to keep the players onside but at times he seems deluded in what he says. Aaron the Results in the League over the last 15 games prove we are a poor team and 2 wins in 15 games means one thing. We cannot defend.29 ...

Torquay United v Taunton Town TUE 12th.

I was at Plainmoor last night and I have to say Taunton were very well drilled and always had cover when we threatened their goal which was not very often. What really concerns me now that we have been deducted 10 points is our appalling form. The last 15 games have yielded just 11 points from a pos...

MOTM - Weymouth

Kevin Dawson. My MOTM Arkell Jude=Boyd. A wonderful run from his own half to score his first goal for United. Great young man. Watch his interview on the OS. Dean Moxey. Mr. reliable. Aaron Jarvis. Must feel gutted he did not score with a good header just after half time. Stunning save by their keep...

Dillon De Silva

Good move for Dillon. Much nearer his Family. I expected he would be on the move as on Saturday 10 Feb the day we lost 3-4 to Slough I saw Dillon leaving the ground at 2-45pm looking upset because although fit he did not even make the bench. When he played well he was good to watch but to succeed he...
