Torquay v Dover Saturday 7/10/17

I heard Owers shout at Murphy re Parry 'don't mix it with him' well -as the guy was through him every time he got the ball exactly what was he meant to do ?! Be mobile, move him about and try to break up their back line; dismantle their shape! The language from the management duo is riper but on th...

Dover Athletic Travel Arrangements.

Probably a plane profitably using 'layover time' at Lydd Airport and Dover have been doing this for ages. Duane Ofori-Acheampong used to regail me with tales of flying to away games for them and their whole approach to operating in such an outpost is innovative with other away trips often rendezvous...

FA Cup Qualifying - Fourth Round Draw

It will depend to what extent the loan players are free to play; no doubt the manager is working hard on this right now. That will also reveal the realistic chances of making any of them permanent signings too.

Torquay United v Maidenhead, Match Day Thread 03/10/17

......... a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation which gave the fullbacks licence to drive forward and to press the game, a back four keeping a high line and moving out together to catch forwards offside, terrific movement on set-pieces to pull apart a defence and to create scoring opportunities. Just unbelieva...

that is not the case with our opposition tonight, although with the 'hybrid' clubs it will be a certainty. Tonight's late arrival by Maidenhead shows why any part-time club in this league needs to be a football first set-up and not an evening after work sort of club....It's a national league and th...

Without wishing to make too much of a generalisation, I would say that in this day and age the part-time player at National League level has football income and hence priority first, supplemented by ther employment and lower down the pyramid it is the reverse. I now several Isthmian League players w...

People are more likely to be generally critical, negative, look for problems when we are losing yes, that was one point I was trying to make. There will always be over-emotional and reactionary posts when we're losing games, and there's been plenty of examples of that over the last 4-5 years. We've...

.... there should be clear cut benefits to being a full-time professional football player training 5 days a week with recovery time built in, in terms of game development and the subsequent success of the club.
