I use a VPN and it works fine...............most of the time and even then the cockups are usually RD related rather than interweb.

Have a feeling that Tranmere will be a little sluggish as it's the first match of the season and a bit of a journey for them (despite likely travelling down tonight). I'm going to go for a 1-1 draw with Tranmere having the majority of the game.

Nicho has a very difficult job choosing the starting eleven tomorrow which is a good thing.

I think 8 are nailed on to start.

Clarke Higgins Gowling McGinty Gosling Young Klukowski Pittman.

Who will play left back? Lee or Chaney.

Who will partner Pittman if we play 4 4 2? Keating or Gray.

Will Lathrope play in front of the back four?

Will Osborne be on the bench or will Nicho risk it without a back up keeper?

Tranmere will really test our new look team. Roll on 3pm tomorrow.

You need a back up keeper. So Osborne will be on the bench. Lee will play. Reckon gray, with Keating coming on 60th minute

Going for a 1-1 draw. Dont think we will beat them but the new season bounce and a bit of bedding in for both teams will get us a result.

First game of the season every year always reminds me of the opening match of my first ever full season supporting TUFC. Exactly 30 years ago in August 87 Vs Wrexham. It was Cyril Knowles's first match in charge, I think we still had a ban on away fans but there were always quite a few got in. It was a damned hot day and we went 0-1 down in no time, all you could hear was "here we bloody go again", then something clicked and bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! We won 6-1. The atmosphere was awesome, the last few goals were encouraged with " we want 4, we want 5, we want 6. Choruses of "Nice One Cyril" and of course my favourite TUFC song (read the bottom). Paul Shane of HI DE HI fame, a big Sunday night show at the time was sat in the grandstand and even he was up on his feet cheering and applauding. An unforgettable day and to be honest I dont think its hardly been bettered since. :scarf:
You are my torquay, my only torquay, you make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know, just, how much i love you, so don't take my torquay away.

The result will depend on Nicho he needs to keep it tight and not give an early goal away and the longer the game goes on the more chance we've got to win. I hope we don't make rash substitutions to early if we are level if it's 0-0
:rules: Pick the right team.

Clarke (GK), Lathrope, McGinty, Gowling (C), Chaney, Young, Pittman, Keating, Gosling, Klukowski, Higgins.

Subs: Anderson, Lee, Gray, Reid, Osborn (GK).

Looks like 4-3-3

Chaney left back? Anderson is back-up left back, so presumably not fully fit yet, as we're short of defenders with him and Davis out. McGinty played left back for Aldershot, bit has only been a centre back here. Klukowski could in theory partner Gowling with McGinty left back and Chaney in midfield, but Chaney at left back is more likely based on pre-season, you would think.

Surprised Lee isn't starting, but sure he'll get on.
