Torquay United Fans Forum

Wasn’t there today so can’t truly comment, but from the games I’ve seen Murphy gets a bit of a disservice on here. I don’t think it’s coincidental that after a run of improving form, the games he misses turn into disappointing defeats. Yes the goal return is poor, but I think his movement and “putti...

The whole Fondop saga made me wonder how hard we really looked at levels below. He was quite below the radar, but once you looked a little deeper into his history he had good scoring records and has shown for Guiseley that he can handle this level. So, his attitude may not have been right but he’s n...

Only get a quarter of people turn up that we do. Can't see all of them wanting to travel 200 mile round trip. Ok closer for away fans though. Nothing else closer for them. I assume if promoted then stadium has to be a certain standard. Is that same standard for national south as it is for national ...

Although this fixture looks winnable on paper, my concern is how we deal with the 3-game week this time around. Last time we were in this situation, we played a high energy game at Dagenham that unfortunately didn’t yield what it deserved; a high energy game against Maidenhead that laid the foundati...

5:10ish. Decide for yourself

Nope. 100% didn’t, you can see it from the replay that it’s on the line, but not over it

Consummate away performance last night really. Never dominated, but worked exceptionally hard and were solid and organised. Nobody can argue we didn’t deserve to win - we had maybe 3 or 4 clear cut chances, whereas the Home side only had the first half header from Kedwell and an incident in the seco...

Was Murphy, and in his defence it came at him rather quickly. Should have done better though

Not the greatest half in terms of entertainment, we’ve looked solid which is an improvement on earlier games. We’ve had the better chances, forcing their keeper into 2 saves whereas Dorel hasn’t been threatened bar a Kedwell header that bounced just wide. But for us having the better of the chances,...

Remember Febian Brandy?! Looks like he might get a run out against us tonight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41735033 This was on BTPIR the other day - I don’t think they are expecting Brandy’s international clearance to come through in time for tonight, although you never know with these thi...

I get confused with the whole “transfer-window” rules and who it applies too. I know that it doesn’t apply to NL clubs or below, witness Chester signing someone from Stourbridge on a 2 year deal today. But does it work the other way - can we permanently sign players from the football league? Just wo...

Something doesn’t ring true here for me. Regular (ish) last season in L2 for Newport, offered a new deal at the end of the season - yet potentially being farmed out on loan to Margate, 2 divisions below us. But if he’s not fit enough for them, he’s good enough for us? Not saying that the link with t...

A decent point I guess. But what concerns me at the moment is that we are behind on our target to make 50 points. We had to make 1.3 points per game (mid-table form), but by my reckoning GO has had 6 games and has garnered 5 points. So we now need to win 2 and draw 1 of our next 3 just to keep on ta...

Not been to many games this season, but Reid at Dagenham looked 100x more effective than Gray at Aldershot. Limited data range admittedly, but can only comment on what I’ve seen. Reid fits GO’s system, Gray doesn’t. Reid frees up a loan spot, Gray potentially off the wage bill, seems like good sense...

Soon to become the most replied to thread in forum history, then. :} Neither McLoughlin or Keene ring a bell for me, but then in the years from 2005-2007 we had some utter, utter tosh playing for us. A look at Soccerbase shows a Patrick Flynn, who I think you mean, rather than McLoughlin (the backg...
