MOTM - Chelmsford

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...

Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00

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...

MOTM - Wrexham

Halstead - four of his saves were truly outstanding Nouble - caused all sorts of bother for the Wrexham defence and scored of course Donellan - made a number of important interceptions, surged forward well and generally secure down his flank Jarvis - again was another thorn in the Wrexham defence wi...

Torquay United v Wrexham Sat 29 April KO 5.30pm.

Thought that was a great game and a credit to both teams and the league itself. The atmosphere was electric and the action was often end to end. The fact that we held the league champions and would have won but for one missed tackle when we were pressing for the second showed had good our all-round ...

Will we stay up?

Sorry, we are down. Even if we win on Saturday we will not get anything from the champions elect who will enjoy a chance to play with freedom and make us look what we are and have been for much of the season - a shambles.

Torquay Utd v York City - Sat 15th April 3pm

Having seen the highlights it reminded me just what an excellent, exciting game this was. I had kind of forgotten because after the elation of the final whistle I came down to earth with a bump when I realised that Aldershot had grabbed a late winner. Fantastic performance by Jarvis but a great all-...

Will we stay up?

What a game and performance yesterday! Was buzzing at full time but almost immediately fell flat to see Aldershot had grabbed a late winner. We are still no nearer safety despite the win and, as we face two away games and a final home game against the champions elect, it looks increasingly like we w...
