Lee: looked like he would have run through a brick wall for us
Anderson: another one who has put his body on the line for us; glad he got a goal
Luke: always a threat

Thompson was subbed towards the end, which I was glad about as I understand he is their leading scorer. I thought their midfield player, Connor Oliver, stood out, a class act. Tired towards the end, understandably.

It wasn't all bad. Since there were four of us, two other guys who were sat 'where we always sit' moved for us without a problem, with a friendly word. I ended up sitting next to an ex-Sheffield guy, a 'Blade' and a real gent. He was really up for it though and his body language showed how much Torquay now means to him. I was so glad 4,000 plus turned out to show how much the club means, even though they aren't all there every match !

Great day yesterday - well done to the lads and Nicho. Sorry to add a sour note but this is for the bloke who gave me such a hard time when I was trying to access the seat the CLUB had allocated to me. A hard time as in the 'You lot come here for one game...' variety. Well, there;s not much you can tell me about supporting Torquay since my Dad started following them around 1927 when they came into the League and I started going to Plainmoor in 1955, I make that 62 years a supporter. I have lived in Lancashire for many years and follow United away wherever and whenever I can at places like Barrow, Guiseley, Southport, Wrexham etc , all involving a fair drive. Yesterday involved a near 600 mile round trip. Last year I was nearly killed in an accident doing a similar trip. Not great to be subjected to a loud-mouthed rant in front of my nephew attending his first ( now maybe his last) game. Do these people not want new or distant supporters to come ? Do they think the club would not WELCOME them ?

The whole team worked their socks off, closing them down early. The back four were magnificent. After a dodgy start when he could have played Rees in in acres of space, Harrad was excellent at holding the ball up and taking the pressure off. Hard to knock anyone but Ajala seems to lack confidence somewhat. Was worried when we failed to put chances away after scoring our second - Ajala one on one, header (Bliss ?) against the bar, Berry in on goal slams it, saved by keepeer. Thought we might pay and they had a couple of great chances. Could have been 6-3 to us !

Whole team deserve praise but, at a push
the back four + Harrad
