Torquay v Southport Saturday 29th October 3pm

Post by tivvygull »

Torquay go in to the game in 18th place in the (non) league table, four places above Southport in 22nd place, having (harshly it seems) lost 3-0 away to Eastleigh on Tuesday.

Southport have won just 2 of their last 10 national league games and only 3 all season, with their last win coming on Tuesday with a 2-0 win at home to York.

I believe this will be the 5th meeting between the two clubs at non league level, with the four previous games yielding two wins and a draw for Torquay.

19/03/16 Torquay United - Southport 1 : 0
10/10/15 Southport - Torquay United 0 : 1
28/03/15 Southport - Torquay United 2 : 1
16/08/14 Torquay United - Southport 0 : 0

The 2 clubs have also met 28 times in division 4 between 1958 and 1978 and once in the FA trophy (thanks Lucy)

Torquay lined up as follows against Eastleigh on Tuesday:

Moore, Gallifuoco, Rowe-Turner, McGinty, Nicholson, Ward (Chaney 67), Richards (Chamberlain 90), Young, Reid, Blissett, Williams
Subs not used: Robba, Duke, Palfrey
Unavailable against Eastleigh: Sparkes, Verma, Lathrope (all injured), Gerring (still suspended), Hancox (on loan at Bridgewater)

Sparkes may be available for Saturday's game, but I'm guessing the others are unlikely to make it, and I'm not aware of any additional injuries from Tuesday's game.

Southport lined up as follows, with Jamie Allen scoring both goals (in the second half...) in their 2-0 win against York.
Norman, Higgins, Howe, Thompson, Ashton, Lussey (Hynes 46), Weeks, Nolan, Ferguson (Caton 68), Allen, A Jones.
Subs not used: Grimes, Gray, Cofie

I will predict (again) a 2-1 win with Reid and GG scoring and hoping for a better attendance following pay day for many, so get to Plainmoor if you can, you know you want to, sit in Bristow’s Bench and enjoy the view. (Current weather forecast is a mild, but overcast 14 degrees)

Not sure of the entire club history between the clubs, but I remember going to an FA trophy match at southport in 2008/9? I think. We where hot favourites, but got spanked 3-0. A dreadful game. So that's at least our six meeting. As for the match, we have to win this to prove we are going to avoid a relegation battle. I go 3-1 torquay.

My worry is seeing where the goals are going to come from. We haven't got a 20-a-season striker. Jamie and Bliss are not banging em in for various reasons. The real Brett hasn't turned up yet. From midfield? Luke has helped out with a couple,ok. Courtney's accuracy is poor - he gets about 1:50 shots on target. And a couple from GG.

Best bet is surely the long ball from Brendan - so I'm backing him to score the winner tomoz. :-D

I am hoping this will be a repeat of the York game and a 2.0 win for United. Bliss and Brett Williams.

To rub salt in the wound, their fans are now singing Yellow Army :red:
