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...

Halstead - two fine saves early on and great distribution all game Lapslie - non-stop effort and some quality passing at times McGavin - for the worldie goal and a tidy display without setting the world alight Stobbs - particularly in the first half he was roasting their left side of defence Moxey -...

Torquay United v Chelmsford City Sat 9 Sept KO 3pm
Very lucky to win this one. Chelmsford carved out chance after chance but inept finishing and our woodwork denied them at least a share of the points. I thought our midfield played with more confidence and cohesion than of late and I must congratulate Brett McGavin on a really wonderful strike - if ...

MOTM - Braintree
Stobbs - yes, the goal was fortunate but he had a generally energetic game with powerful surges down the right Jarvis - great pen under pressure but the incident when he tracked back to snuff out a dangerous Braintree attack, recovered the ball and then advanced almost to the other end spoke volumes...

Torquay vs Braintree 28/08/23 15:00
Whilst I was despairing at HT (6 insipid attempts, none on target), I was very encouraged by the second half fight-back (8 attempts, 5 on target, hit post and 2 goals). We were outplayed for much of the game in a similar fashion to Worthing but, unlike Worthing, Braintree were a horrible time-wastin...

Son of Keith - I think you have captured the difference between the two teams in a nutshell. Dinosaurs taken apart by skill and modern tactics rather than brute strength and superior fitness. We were truly embarrassing.

Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00
Well, I have to agree with almost all the previous posts. Worst, most spineless performance I can remember. When your keeper is MOTM and you lose 0-3 it says it all. Halstead was generally excellent and pulled off a couple of worldie saves - if his performance had matched the rest of the team it wou...

Season tickets - in or out?
Sorry - I will not buy a season ticket to watch regional football. It was the same last time we were related to the 6th tier - I did not attend at all whilst Gary Owers was in charge but did so once Gary Johnson was appointed. I will wait to see what transpires and decide whether to attend on a matc...
