Hemel Hempstead Town v Torquay United, 23rd September 2023

Interesting which players you’ve chosen to pick out there. Martin put the cross in for the 2nd goal and Marshall scored it. Martin- poor pass but wasn’t the last man for that misplaced pass, lost the ball in their half with 5 of our players behind him- unfortunately they were all ball watching, wit...

Hemel Hempstead Town v Torquay United, 23rd September 2023

I doubt Johnson or Downes tell Marshall to head it back across goal the line from a corner. I also doubt they tell Dan Martin to misplace a three yard pass when he’s the last man. It’s time some of the players stood up to be counted. Too easy to just blame the management. And no, I don’t think they ...

FA cup

I'm still GJ out, dining out on beating Wimbourne, playing 2nd or 3rd qualifying rounds for the FA cup when I can remember playing Sheff Weds in the early 80's (and again in late 80's) beating West Ham, playing Coventry, I know Spurs was League cup but even so it's great memories, nowadays fans see...

FA cup

Spot on, central defence is lightweight and needs strengthening if we are to win this league. The Big games will be against Yeovil without doubt. Nouble v Tomlinson I wonder who might win that battle ? We need Hall and Dawson back asap, then the likes of McGavin and Hanson can warm the bench or far...

FA cup

Winborne played well and caused us a few problems. Think we always had an extra gear to be honest.

FA cup

I have had the same issue. I emailed them, received a reply saying they’d resent the ticket - but nothing has come through!

I did screenshot the confirmation screen as proof of purchase.

All a bit tinpot.

Torquay United v Farnborough Tue 5TH KO 7.45

I still want Gary gone if we win the league, which isn’t that difficult as a full-time side. It’s not even all about the football, it’s about the disrespect towards the fans over the last few seasons. Ah another one who continues to disrespect the level. As a full time side we should be aiming for ...

The Number 1 Reason we are playing so badly. Inexperience.

Disagree, they have zero protection from midfield.

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

Why is it that when Owers got us relegated about 95% wanted him out, but not Johnson? At least the bloke was a good scout that basically gave Johnson a good team. Just don’t see why we should accept the way we are performing in the SIXTH tier just because it’s Gary Johnson. He’s on tenure One major...

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

One of our worst ever days, getting well beaten by a village team with average attendance well below 1000. But note that they are second in the table now ! This league is so poor its embarassing that we are not shining. It’s not though is it? We are where we are. I stopped presuming our history was...

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

Blimey. Instead of trying to score points off each other can someone who actually went to the game today write a fair and balanced report, please? First 30 mins I thought we looked OK, Tomlinson had first real chance of the game. We conceded and wheels came off. No midfield. Resorted to long balls ...

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm

There’s no midfield. You can talk tactics and shape all day, but until we have two players in the middle who can get about the pitch and pick a pass we are going to continue to play in the same way.

The Manager with 9 lives is on a very lucky streak.
In all honesty apart from Worthing we ain’t played anybody yet.
We won! I’d hate to see you after a loss 😂

Did we win or lose today?! If you can’t enjoy a last minute winner I suggest you pack it all in.

We aren’t good, but we have been good enough to win four games in a row. Wait for some quality loans to come in and see how we do.

Slough vs Torquay 26/08/23 15:00

Winning when playing badly is a good sign. However, we are relying on Mark Halstead to keep us in games and it won’t happen forever. We desperately need to bolster in midfield and we are one game closer to doing so.
