Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?

It shows just how little confidence anyone has about Owers ( eleventh NS place at Bath) actually being able to get anyone to to turn up let alone of anyone fit for purpose. All managers have got a lot of work to do at this stage of the close season; at the moment the whole football world at our lev...

Just on one other point of issue. You say "let's just leave the manager to recruit and make a judgement once the season is under way". Was that not one of your primary gripes in allowing Nicho to do the same last season. Just asking the question. So many unfit for purpose summer signings;...

Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?

I've been watching this level of football for a few seasons; have you? It's given me the insight to recognise the type of game you will see; the type of opponent you will see and problems that will be set for teams wishing to come out on top. I see very few 'Football League' levels in it, I see les...

Don't confuse what's required to get the club up from the NLS in comparison to what got us into it in the first place... 'Top quality Football League players' as you describe them won't achieve it for the simple reason that any 'Football League' player poor enough to have to accept playing at this ...

....but left us with a squad riddeld with the sick, lame & lazy that went ten games without a win at the start of the season and so effectively set the agenda for relegation.

Seriously, takes a lot of courage to move so far from “home”, hope his mrs doesn’t get homesick. Know he’s had injury problems but he’s been your player of the season for the last couple of years. What type of player are we getting? Takes a lot of courage to move so far from “home”? You're having a...

Good luck to Exeter City

...they have already appointed Tisdale’s replacement: Matt Taylor, one of their youth coaches and former player. Could be argued they have gone down the #legend route but at least Taylor has some credentials. As long as you have a fit for purpose footballing infrastructure in place then these sort ...

There's no doubt Davies cuts an impressive figure with his physique, silky-smooth running and the manner in which he keeps himself fit after that farcical arrival when he'd obviously not been given a medical nor (it would seem) been put under critical scrutiny by the now departed management and the...

Well the one thing we understand is McGinty has been fobbing Owers off for weeks. If that’s the case and the deadline has passed that makes Owers credibility as someone who says what he means etc plummet even further. But to be fair to him it may not have been him setting the deadline within the cl...

Luke deserves it he could of left us but has stayed through all these relegation scraps and always gave his all, team player and a player with significant potential, could maybe see him pushing for championship standard in the next few seasons but whatever happens I wish him all the best. He needs ...

Exactly; some people live in the real world others are deluded enough to see Torquay United as a 'great' club, iconic club and a mighty force driving civic pride.....I grew out of that fifty years ago. We're now a less significant than ever little club with barely one and a half thousand bothered en...

Actually it's Weston Super Mare , 79 miles away, compared to 106 to Truro That's going by the Exeter-Okehampton route surely; approx 80 miles from Newton Abbot via Plymouth if memory serves me correctly, so say 86(?) from Plainmoor to Treyew Road. Anyway, we're splitting hairs and I'm of the persua...
