Torquay United Fans Forum

As others have posted, I too hope that both clubs survive, but it is looking increasingly worrying for Bury especially. Is this the tip of an iceberg, or simply too many clubs in the Manchester area? Another club seemingly in trouble is Macclesfield. Sol Campbell left because he hadn't been paid for...

Culmstock - are you suggesting we revert back to Gary Owers mind-numbing defensive play?? Gary Johnson likes to play attacking football as MellowYellow quite rightly posts. Inevitably, this will leave gaps at the back on occasion. You can't have it all ways. I recall at the start of last season, whe...

Liam Davis - such a skillful player. The team looks better balanced with him back in the side Jean Niate - answered his critics with a great game Jamie Reid - put himself about and scored a great goal Conor Lemonheigh-Evans - another hardworking display in midfield Kyle Cameron - reliable, and playe...

It's a state of mind, really. You have to be fairly ancient (I am 77) and I suppose you have to have seen the Prince of Plainmoor in his prime. Mind you, I didn't arrive in Torquay until I was 20 (saw my first game a fortnight after my arrival) so I missed the era of whom the REAL Codgery call the ...

Gary has made it clear to the squad that this season is very much about using the squad and therefore at least 14 of the squad know their place is not guaranteed match to match. This is a good thing because our bench is strong and a player coming off the bench knows Gary is expecting them to make a...

Okay with 'Had' ??

Fantastic result today, if I’m honest I didn’t see us winning at Dover, and not many teams in this league will. Great character from the entire team/management after the negative vibes from Tuesday night. This league or any league will not be won or lost after 5 games. We have to support the lads t...

Not one of Michael Poke's stand-out moments! I don't remember the game - maybe a League Cup match, or whatever it was called seven years ago? Anyone remember what the final score was?

I also fondly remember Tony Collins from the mid fifties when I was just a lad ..... and football was 2 3 5! He was a very good player and played on the left wing with no. 11 on his shirt as all left wingers did then. He had a lot to live up to as he replaced the popular Ernie Edds who moved to Plym...

I was disappointed with the result but I saw a lot of positives last night. 8 of the starting eleven were aged 19 to 22. Reid is 25, Niate 26 and Hall 32. Average age 23. If you booed the team you do not understand football. Gary in his interview was very disappointed that a minority of fans failed...

Keeping a low profile after 'Teagate' 😉 Surely that should be Teavesham-gate ...... ? ;-) In answer to Bloggy, I had forgotten George Essuman. In the few games I saw him play, I thought he looked a useful acquisition by Gary Owers. He last played for Dulwich Hamlet but he is now shown as an 'unregi...

Some decent performances though - Vincent, Niate, Kalala and the non stop Evans. We should have won Saturday and should have won tonight but the cold hard fact is that we have lost five points due to not having a fit for purpose keeper. There was some booing at the end which to my mind was ridiculo...

Bullied by Maidenhead ?? What game were you watching !? We battered them for most of the first half and all the second. One of those farcical games you get from time to time, Maidenhead defended for the entire match frantically at times and their goal led a charmed life. Two breakaway goals. .With ...

A difficult one, but just because we lost a frustrating game doesn't mean that no one deserve a mention. For me, it would be
Armani Little
Ben Wynter
Frankie Vincent
Kyle Cameron
Jeen Koue-Niate

Say what you will about Gary Owers, but he did bring some good players to Plainmoor which Gary Johnson has used as the base for his team, and the style of foorball he likes to play. GJ soon sussed out the players that weren't 'part of his plan'. I was wondering what happened to some of them. Three p...
