Attendance - 2,072 (48 Tonbridge Angels).

I'd expect a few more than that Rio... a 32-seater coach has already been filled*, plus those who travel down via car/train/tandem etc

* doesn't sound many, but this is the first time for many a season that the Angels have had the coach travel option

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be posting online about a league match between Torquay and Tonbridge. Yes, we've played each other before in the FA Cup a year or two back... but that could have happened at any time. However, when I first moved up to Kent in the early 90s and started watching the Angels, they were playing in the Kent League against the likes of Herne Bay et al.... Torquay were in League One... nah, it'll never happen, they're leagues apart, Torquay would never drop so low, and the Angels never get so high. This is why I'm crap at predictions!

It'll be the Angels' first ever visit to Plainmoor and from what I can gather quite a few are making the trip down to the English Riviera.... no, not the hundreds and hundreds that Yeovil would bring but a decent few as, from experience of following the Angels away myself, they do have a very loyal following home and away (home crowds are c.1k this season, which for this level is bloody good).

Angels currently sit 4th in the away form guide having won their last 3 on the road, the latest being a 3-0 win at last Tuesday's opponents Eastbourne.

Going to be a tough one, but if we play like we did on Tuesday and not the way we didn't play last Saturday, then I think Utd should be too much for the Angels.


So, here we go...

Torquay United 3 Tonbridge Angels 1


A link for those of you who like to know the origins of teams' names:

Dolan
McGavin
Ash
Lapslie - different team when he's on the pitch
Moxey

Here we go again... a trip to Priory Lane awaits and no doubt yet another woeful performance from Johnson's 'team'.

Prediction: Eastbourne 4 Torquay 0

For those of you brave (or stupid) enough to make the trip to the Sussex seaside on a freezing cold November evening, tickets are available online (and much cheaper than on the gate): https://ebfc.onlineticketseller.com


Be interesting to see how many predict a TQ win for this one.

Sneaky 2-1 away win.

Bugger! and there was me thinking today was Friday (wishful thinking I guess)... just as well I didn't turn up to an empty stadium tomorrow then!

So yep, 25th it is!

On the road again... this time to picturesque Dartford’s Princes Park.

Darts fans are none too happy with the way Dowse's team are playing and seem to be staying away in their droves (according to their forum).

So, let's go there and make the place even more miserable for the locals* with a comprehensive win... (famous last words!).


Dartford 1 Torquay 3





*Must be bad enough living there in the first place without having to watch crap football too!

Donnellan - best I've seen him play
Archer - non-stop running, a little raw, but looks like there could be a decent player in there
Williams - took his goal really well
and Filip Cha... chin...cher... err... Dave! - fantastic penalty save. Nuff said.

No, let's all just stand there and shrug our collective shoulders and sigh as another pass goes wayward and then all clap the team off after yet another defeat to a part-time team who ripped us apart. Of course people are going to yell (and swear) at players... it's the nature of football fans (well, some of us anyway)... because if we didn't care, we wouldn't say anything... but we do.

I'm not condoning swearing in earshot of youngsters/families, but the amount of dross we've seen on the field of late is enough to make the f**king Pope swear.

United travel to basement boys Havant who have only won one league game all season. What could possibly go wrong....


Havant 0 Torquay 4

Biggest test of the season looming....

0-3

Please prove me wrong!

Just noticed.... this is 4th Nov... not 14th!

Admin... any chance you can change the title of the thread???

0-10, 10-0...

be sensible man!


OK, final prediction.... 0-0


No fistpump

The way our squad is looking, there'll be plenty of room on the bench... you never know, Brixham, you might even get in the starting 11.
