First game I have seen this season and like most I hoped for much much more. But why are we so disappointed given the start we have had to the season??
There was no fight and no effort, the players seemed disinterested and flat. There are no leaders the captain is an utter disgrace you could see when we went a goal down all the lads heads dropped, at that point the game was lost.
I agree with others Macclesfield were not that good, but they didn't need to be we didn't ask any questions in attack apart from a couple of nice breaks in the first half (one of which should of resulted in the keeper getting sent off). The remainder of the game the ball was lumped up front where we had no arial of physical presence.
Only time will tell but there needs to be changes in personnel and changes in attitude, Owers is making the right noises but he has his work cut out. They both soon quitened down on the bench maybe the realisation of the task in hand has sunk in??

MOTM & Crowd Estimate - Woking
Nick Potkins wrote: ↑29 Aug 2017, 09:23 A steward informed me there were 279 supporters down our side of the pitch.
With that in mind I would guess 250 - allowing for minus 30/40 Woking fans, plus a further 10/20 Torquay fans in main / seating stand.
Hats off to all of us, great support and turn out for a club crisis.
Man of Match, this is not easy..............
Keating - Worked his socks off and tried to drive the team on. Looked shocked at the end when thanking us to be met with "not fit to wear the shirt".
McGinty - Three great last ditch clearances, yes Woking could have scored 9 plus.
Gray - Goal of the season (ok we may not score many!). Playing out of position and worked hard.
As stated about the chants of "not fit to wear the shirt" summed up the display and fans feelings.
Josh Gowling, to his credit did have the 'balls' to approach the fans at full time to chat and explain things will get better. I don't believe that was the time or the place of a longer discussion, however he did make the effort.
Great support that considering the current situation.
The loyal fans don't deserve performances like this, or for lack of action from the owners in making a new appointment.
Fingers crossed a new manager is in place this week so the battle can commence at the moment we are in no mans land.

Woking v Torquay match thread Monday 28/8/17 3pm
He will get it right some of the time though.brucie wrote: ↑27 Aug 2017, 12:57 A wind up is only funny if there is a point to it or whether it gets enough peoples backs up. Ray Bellends posts are just pointless to the extreme. Posting that every game will finish 1-1 isn't a wind up, or funny its just pathetic.
He has posted repeatedly that Cox is going to be the manager and Rhead is going to be coming. As everyone knows that isn't going to happen then the messages just don't have a point.
Most people comment on Torquay as they are supporters in one way or another. Bellend is just a saddo.
Lucy is right though - you admin just fawn over him like he is jesus or something. Suppose that sums you lot up as well though really.
Jonnstons/Bellend's posts don't bother me in the slightest but if you banned his sorry arse for being a boring pointless prick then the forum might be a better place.
Anyway I though this was a match thread not a bitching thread.
For what it's worth I feel we will go down 2-0.

I really don't get the whole "no connection with the club" thing that's being emphasised by a few members. I can see why they're saying it and their points are valid - but is it really that important?
I agree. It just needs to be the right man for the job. Despite previous connections with the club. It's invalid.
Haven't the most successful managers (I use the term success loosely) in the past 20 or so years had some kind of connection with the club??
i don't think we will have a long list of successful managers with no connections applying.
Is big Sam still unemployed??

Unless you are talking about people like Joyce and Rodgers, in which case please tell me what sort of medication your on!
To be honest yes I would go for Tully, performed very well at Truro which was cut short. They haven't done nearly as well since he has left.

I can't see why people are linking so many names of so called experienced lower league managers.This is a sorry sign of how far we have fallen. They are going to be more expensive options and no guarantee they will be a success and will jump ship at the sniff of a bigger job.
Why not go for a local option with lower league experience, ex players shouldn't be ruled out just because the last couple have not worked out.
