[Trojan 67]

Neither do I.

Another outstanding matchday thread from NickGull.

Do like the " Clough the magic dragon " bit, not heard that before. Oh, and it's Nigel not Brian.

2-1

Benyon and Zebroski.

Edit : Kee and Zebroski.

[Plymouth Gull]

Haha! Looking forward to this one!

We should be looking at atleast 1800 for this - very disappointed if not.

When the thread is read through by other posters, there might be some more edits.

Both teams on fairly good runs of form. I want Lathaniel to keep his place, after a solid display against Barnet, in fact whole team should keep their places after that game. If it aint broken dont fix it, got a feeling this will be a draw

Torquay 2-2 Burton

O'Kane
Branston

we should be ashamed if its that low mate, personally i'm disappointed every time we get below 2500!

champions league is back for 8 of next 12 weeks, that'll have an effect on our crowd if devons favourite manchester team are on too!

Regards the short stats thing posted on page two: six of their away goals were scored by Harrad, a player they no longer have and he got half of those in one match. Now, I'm not one for letting statistics influence my thinking too much, but that must be indicative of a team who are poor on the road. Fulham were just the same. Saw the other day on SSN that Hodgson (a manager for whom I have absolute respect) won just 20% of his away matches at Liverpool, which was exactly the same percentage as at Fulham (although, across many more games). One in 5 away from home simply is not good enough. 1 in 5 in all games is utterly catastrophic, so he'd have to have an awesome home record to get away with it. Fortunately, he is better at home.

My feelings on this game are the same as for the last couple, we are playing a team who are down the bottom (regardless of games in hand, I can't see them getting anywhere near us) and we are at home on a Tuesday night. We ought to go out to simply overpower them. They pose very little genuine goal threat (as Stockport and Barnet) so there is no reason to suspect that the old cliché 'we're gonna score one more than you' does not apply. I can't see them getting more than one (on merit) and if we play 4-3-3 with and 4-5-1 without the ball, then I see no reason why we can't score three at least.

On that basis, I'll plump for 3-0 TUFC, with Robinson, Kee and EoK scoring.

Matt.

i'm doing the same mate, 3-0 once again, this is the roots of something good for tufc i think!! two wins already, and i really feel that we will brush past these tonight, kee to score again at some point

[RussianGull]

Hope it doesn't rain too much, will be there cheering on the boys,

Billy double and Zebs for me 3-0 Gulls!

[royalgull]

2 of them games are off now

I've got Reading, Walsall, Aberdeen and Charlton. yeah can't see it myself either but who knows.

As for us, I'm feeling quite positive actually. I think tonight will be a good game of football, the wet weather will make the pitch slicker and easier to knock the ball around. Also make it more important to get the tackles right.

Team news, Bucks doesn't usually make changes but if Nicho is fit I'd bring him back into the side, yes maybe harsh on LRT who by alla ccounts was good up at Barnet. But he's a young lad, he's been prone to the odd rash challenge (not malicious more clumsy) and in these conditions I feel the more solid reliable Nicholson would be the better option. If he goes with LRT, that is understandable and I have no problem with it.

My team

Potter

Mansell
Robertson
Branston
Nicholson

O Kane
Stanley
Oastler
Zebroski

Robinson
Kee

I'm going or a 2-1 home win. Come on you Gulls.

[Jeff]

I hope we stick with the same team we had at Barnet. Even though we were away from home, it was a formation that wasn't particularly geared to playing on the road like the old 4-5-1 used too. The guys playing wide got forwards far more often, so was more like 4-3-3. Zebs simply has to play through the middle after his performance on Saturday.

I'm cautious about tonight - I suppose the conditions must be foul and could be the sort of night we slip up.
