Whilst I agree that last season was possibly beyond our expectations and we did not achieve our goal only because of injuries and a dodgy referee, it is the way we have fallen back so far this season. We do still have a core of last seasons squad but the recruitment has, at best, been mediocre. Ther...

Managed to get the second half commentary and listen to Johnsons after match, several things, one he sounds totally dejected , I think at one point he said if I had a choice he would bring in 10 new signings and I think that is the story, we do not know what is going on in the so called boardroom, ...

Wish they would stop caller him Gaffer, or is it because he is making too many Gaffs now! :~D

Which suggests it is only a short term loan, until January I guess?

Look at the positive, we are in today’s draw for the first round and if we don’t like who we get we can lose the replay on purpose!!!!

For those who were unfortunate not to make the game today you do not know how lucky you were, that was a truly dismal performance and I wondered for long periods of the game which team was in the lower league. Having seen alll the home games this season and two away there can be no doubt Johnson wa...

Moxey doesn't have the legs to play 90 mins as a wing back, i was surprised Martin didnt come on, he adds energy on that left hand side Don’t think anyone in our side had the legs to play 90mins today!! When you expected the opposition to tire they seem to come on stronger than us so fair play to t...

Don't know much about the actual contracts though, do we? I would assume that Lapslie is on a 2 year contract, but I'd also not be surprised if O'Connell and Rogers are as well. Not sure about Omar. The point about this is that if GJ thinks he can turn this last 3 into good players, he's given hims...

Perhaps Uncle Clarke has not / will not provide the funds to strengthen the squad, either by loan signings or contracts. With the likes of Stockport, Notts County, Wrexham, Chesterfield etc in all honesty we never stood a chance of winning the league this season. Perhaps with a level playing field ...

Although I agree that Gary Johnson is the best manager we have had for years I just wonder whether some players feel the same? Just thinking of the players who have left and the lack of quality players to arrive? Do they not like what the manager does, or is it the lack of money available to spend. ...

Well that was fun, wasn't it. Probably the worst performance of the season. Having just watched the managers post match interval, well its just a repeat of most of the interviews he has given all season. Thanks Gary Johnson for a fantastic 3 years as manager of Torquay United FC but I think its now...

Well apparently according to Gary Johnson we have quality in our squad. When are they going to bloody well show it!!!

Absolutely shocking. I never thought I would say this about Gary Johnson but he seems to have lost his ability to, a: identity players who are good enough ( after all he says he vets players closely before signing them on and b: motivate players to perform on the day. We were clueless and wouldn’t h...

Holman now off injured.

So their goal scorers never score. What are we doing!!!!
