League 2 Playoffs: Shrewsbury Town vs Torquay United

[Lloyder5]

Just got back from watching it at the Rec in Newton Abbot. Plans already being made for OT.

Great team performance. Unsung hero; Lathrope. Good to see Turner-Rowe getting stuck in at the end. All the big players showed up. Great team performance!

brilliant!! someone getting my ticket for me, see you all in manchester, good pub right by piccadilly

question, will there be more people from devon there next week than are normaly at a man u home game!! i think it'll be a close thing!!

Which one's that then?

Another excellent performance. I thought Tomlin was a cut above the other 21 players, but again it was a result based on solid defence, and a good team performance encompassing hard work and no little skill.

That was fantastic, I was so, so close to buying a ticket for this one but decided to save for OT and a good decision it was.

I've seen a lot of the games at the end of this season and Chris Robertson has been superb in every one. You expect it from Guy but you can see why Chris is keeping Mark Ellis out of the team. Fantastic in his heading, blocking, clearing and reading of the game, ke knows when to drop off and knows when to attack the ball. He does have that tendancy to let the ball bounce but it hasn't been evident recently. I've always been a fan of his and he's improving all the time in the centre of defence. Guy was epic as usual.

Special mention to Damon Lathrope and Eunan O'Kane in midfield. Two very young lads who controlled the centre of the park against a player on the books of Wolves and Nicky "played in the championship" Wroe. If we do get Craig Stanley back and keep O'Kane on our books we'll be good for next season in midfield. Eunan has proved he is more than a match physically to play there and he has been very good in there. Lathrope kept the ball better then I've previously seen him tonight, another to keep improving with games.

Tomlin oozed class up top, and held the ball up brilliantly, a massive part of our solidity.

Can't wait till next Saturday. Will see what the Yellow Army's plans are for seating before I think of buying tickets.

Well done, you definetly deserved it, we just couldn't break you down and you were always dangerous on the break. Best of luck in the final against Stevenage.

[HRG]

Unbelievable! Branston's face at the end summed it all up for me. Yellow Army were in good voice and nice to see SG and Awayday on the telly!
Saturday can't come quick enough for me. The whole team should be very proud of the way they've played over these two legs. Well done chaps!

[Hazbo]

Once again, well done and fully deserved. Keep that squad together and you'll have no probs in league one. Thank F**K we dont have to play you again for a while!

[Modgull]

Fantastic performance - planning for next weekend is already underway for the Modbury contingent!

[portugull]

A very professional performance. No question we were the best team over two legs.
I will be at Old Trafford thats for sure!!

[Trojan 67]

Who scores first and when will open up the tie or kill it dead.

Whatever, if we don't score and we don't concede then we're going to Old Trafford

:Oops: :Oops: :Oops:

What a night

So proud of the lads, 100% commitment from each and every one of them. Fans were incredible tonight, didn't stop from start to finish. Whole team was immense, just a shame we didn't score.

Cannot WAIT to see us at OT, its a dream come true for me. Will be bringing all my uni mates up for the day too, they have all adopted us as their second team. Bring on Stevenage, we should fear nobody.

Finally, take a bow Mr. Buckle. I can't see us holding on to him much longer, whatever happens next Saturday.

A fantastic night watching that in the company of me Bruv, at his gaff, with surprise guest Lexus Guy and A. N. OTHER whose name I don't recollect at this moment, but we all stand on the Popside a few spaces away from fiatlover and DIAMOND GIRL (fiatlover's mum).

Just got home to Kingsteignton from Shrewsbury and what a night I have lost my voice but well worth it what a great performance from the team I thought Lathrope and O'kane in the middle of the park where excellent in closing down and getting a foot in.
I also thought Robertson had one of his best games for us and Bevs was great coming and collecting the ball. Overall a long day but well worth it now we are in the final and bring on Stevenage next week at the Theatre of Dreams just hope our dreams come true. Come on boys one more big performance is all we ask we know you can do it.

[cambgull]

Very proud to be a TUFC fan tonight, delighted with the way we played. If we can play how we played in the first leg, Stevenage don't stand a chance and we'll be playing some pretty big teams in no time. And we'd be a league above Argyle... HA!
