Torquay add midfielder on-loan to their ranks. Looks to be a great signing on paper, with loads of first team experience.

I mentioned this on twitter before the game, we desperately need to go back to basics. 3-5-2 just simply doesn't work for the players we have currently available. I agree that Cundy should be dropped, his performances recently have been woeful, and it'll do the lad some good to have a break. Niate seems to be playing fairly well, so I'd like to see him partner Cameron again in a back 4. Shame about CLE, hopefully his injury isn't as bad as we hope.

Keep the faith people, Gary and the team are doing there best to get us out of this rut. We're 10th in the league - which IMO is fantastic considering we're newly promoted, injury-struck, and half of the side haven't played at this level before. Stick with them and we will be just fine. Consolidate and learn this season, then next year we can try and mount a serious promotion push. COYY, lets get behind the lads at Plainmoor for the next two games

Having CLE & Hall back will be massive for us. Tough fixture so I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

My starting XI as follows:

Covolan
Wynter Cundy Cameron RMS
Hall
Whitfield Buse CLE Andrews
Reid

Subs:
Macdonald
Lewis
Niate
Janneh
Bansal-McNulty

First away day this season for me. Come on TUFC let’s do this. In Gary we trust

Ah my bad! Been away for a week, so haven’t been able to keep track on a lot of clubs business! Well let’s cross our fingers that Cundy signs for us - rather then them!

In the recent Herald article today, about Liam Davis, it reports that GJ is set to sign his first Loan player before Tuesdays match against Biddeford. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to who it’ll be? Shame Cundy was snapped up by Exeter, as he would have been a solid option. Fairly predictable loans could be either Opi Edwards or Aidan Baldwin....

Now that Andrews is signed up...

We need to sign Robbie Cundy for next season. Won POTS, Managers POTS and Supporters POTS at Bath City. Notched in with 6 goals from CB too.

Stunning signing that

I highly doubt that Gerring would come back to Torquay. Especially after ‘those’ terrace chants and also how he’s reacted with Torquay supporters in the FA Cup match and also at their place end of last season.

But if there’s anything to say that he might not be at Woking next season - is the fact that they have just signed centre half Manny Parry from Boring Wood. Haven’t they also signed Moussa Diarra from Barrow on a permanent? Could just be that they’re strengthening at the back first... but I for one don’t want to see Gerring back in a yellow shirt

It's fairly evident that next season will be a challenge - just have a look at the clubs who will be playing in the NL next year, as well as some potential clubs joining. Notts County, Yeovil, Stockport, Woking etc.

BUT... there's no reason why us Gulls supporters cant remain optimistic after the fantastic campaign we've had. Gary Johnson is a fantastic manager, and the players already signed for next year is a great start. If we can secure a couple more City loanees plus a few more experienced heads then theres no reason why a top-half/play off position wouldn't be on the cards.

I'd love to see Janneh and CLE come back. For me they've been outstanding and played major roles for us this season. I like Andrews alot, and to some this may seem harsh, but I honestly think we can secure someone better on a permanent deal. Yes he's scored 11 and assisted a handful as well, but in the more important matches, i.e Bath away, he doesn't seem to face up that well to pressure - yet seems to thrive in the less important matches when we win big against sides like Oxford C, Hemel etc. He's a talented lad, but he's got a bit of maturing to do before he can step up another gear.

For me, I'd love to see us sign someone like Manny Duku or Tshimanga from Oxford City. Two excellent strikers at NL level and would thrive under Johnson here at Torquay.

Does anyone know whats happening about Ryan Dickson next season? has he re-signed or will we have to wait and see whether he's going to be offered a new deal?

Next year is going to be one hell of a season, and I'd love to see Torquay go on and secure another promotion! But, like most Torquay fans, it's all about baby steps - and I'd happily take survival if you offered it to me haha!

Come on you Yellows!

to the tune of David Bowie Starman:

There's a star-man, playing on the right,
his name is Ruairi Keating and he's f***ing dynamite!

Repeat a few times ...

Now that promotion has been confirmed. One player we can expect to join us next season is Manny Duku. He’s an exciting forward who knows where the back of the net is. Duku signed for Cheltenham, when GJ was in charge, but unfortunately couldn’t really break into their side. Despite playing for Cheltenham, Barnet and Halifax this season - he’s still managed 7 goals in 18 games. We’ve seen it before with Kalvin Kalala joining, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Gary signed him down here.

Cheltenham!

but also spend a lot of weekends in Bristol due to my partner living there!

so if there is a group/page for Gulls fans living in or around Bristol, the would be great if I could signup to travel to some matches this season!

COYY

Good luck to Reid I say. He's committed to the cause for next season and should be supported, not abused. Its been said before, but this is a fresh start for those who have been with us for the past couple of seasons. I've got a good feeling about next season, I think we will be strong contenders for promotion, and would be more than happy if we finish in the Play Offs. Jamie more than anyone knows what this season means in terms of his career, and he will want to prove the fans wrong.

Look, it's been an extremely painful start to the summer in regards to summer signings. However, if all of this speak of an influx of players this week does happen. Then I personally will welcome them and give them pre season to prove they're up for the forthcoming campaign. If it's true about Dorel not staying then that's a real kick in the teeth as he was my POTY last season. Not too bothered about hoof ball Gints imo. Davies should be a very solid player at this level. Also I'm suprised no one has mentioned River Allen. Played a fair few games for Truro last year and has experience at League 2 with Argyle, then Gateshead in the premier. At 22 he could be a decent addition as our midfield is completely non existent so far. Will be interesting who the players are this week.
Looking at footage of Aaron Kuhl, he could be a real capture if he returns to full fitness
