Torquay United Fans Forum

I think geographical location of the club has a big part to play, if you play/live in the north west of England would you be willing to move your family to the south west of England on the wage of a lower league player? Unless they get their chequebook out and make it worthwhile. Sadly money talks.

Worst day as a Torquay fan for me. Players show absolutely no desire to play for the club. We have no leaders on the pitch, we are unorganised every time I see us play it's as if it's the first time they've ever met each other. How Richards lasted 90 mins is a mystery to me! I understand financial restrictions result in a lower calibre of player but at least make up for technical incapabilities with hard work.

First post on here....

Firstly, I thought Richards put a real shift in for the team today, chased the opposition all over the park. One of the only players that can be happy with their performance.

James hurst on the other hand was all over the place, apart from the goal he was awful. But unfortunately he was up against 2 very experienced players in Harding and cook who exploited this.

Out delivery at set pieces was dreadful, butler struggled to clear the first man majority of the time, and defensively at set pieces we were poor. No one seems to take charge and organise the back line at free kicks, players seem to take up whatever position they like.

Positives I thought second half we came out with more desire, worked harder as a team. It was also good to see when we went 3-0 down the team still fought. Fisher came on and offered more and good poachers goal.

I understand our budget is tight, we can't afford or attract the higher standard of player, but we really need someone to stand up and be a leader on the pitch especially with a team of such young and inexperienced players.
