Torquay United Fans Forum

Our team as a unit play better against the top or bigger teams because of motivational issues on many levels. Including the motivation of each individual in the team. That is to say, they are more motivated, because they may catch the eye, which at some point may lead to a move in their respective career. Footballers are always looking for the next potential move. Well the vast majority are anyway. Modern football is overwhelmingly a business and market place afterall.

....or am I being an unfair cinic l?

If he has requested a move, it would be somewhat uncharitable of the club to not put him on the list (of course, getting a fee as well would be nice).
Personally speaking (as a contributor to this thread) his reasons can remain private as far as im concerned.
Most forums allow the OP to change the thread title, perhaps you should ask the OP if he changed it?

Corrected for exactitudinals

:P

I remember there being a roar during the Cyril Knowles era.

I always thought that the atmoshere at the evening match v's Spurs in the league cup, when The Dude banged in the 1st leg winner, was one of the very best at any footy match I have ever been to. Only about 5000 there but there was a roar that night, and we sang ALL game.

A little early, but time for a Christams Tree formation me thinks
1 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
..............Bevan
Robbo Branston Ellis Nico
...Carlisle Wroe Mansell
.......O'Kane Zebroski
.............Benyon

Carlisle and O'Kane are our best footballers.

Benyon our best finsher.

Zebs is our best combination of pace/strengh.

Branston is our best Pickler.

So. Really it is quite easy to suggest (once everyone is proper fit) the following set up which perhaps we can work at:

4 3 3

Senda----Ellis----Branston----Nicholson

-----WayneO---Mansell---Wroe---

-----Zebs-----Benyon---O'Kane


Bench : Robertson, Gritts, Stevens, Kee, et al.

We basically keep Benyon going up front running the line. Zebs and O'Kane to have a free-er range to drop back to get the ball, or move wider at times, BUT also to provide support for hard-working Benyon. Wayno to use his guile, passing and experience to play a role linking Zebs and attack minded Senda (ie, he can bolster cover for Senda, and still provide crosses from deep if required). Manse and Wroe to be more defensive, but with Nicho being encouraged to bomb-on in support of O'Kane.

Subs: Robbo is great cover for RB and CB's, or to bring in at right back if we do not want so much attack from right-full-back.

But in the end I say, at this point : !!! ATTACK !!! ......but have Wayno'n'Wroe has a bit of security, dropping back covering for bombing-on fullbacks.
