Torquay United Fans Forum

Now where is the fun in that?
No late goals or drama….
Great performance. To a man the team were excellent.
Sorry for Danny Wright personally that he is injured but could be just what the team needed. We look so more mobile with Dan H upfront. He has some great touches and brings others into the game.
With players coming back from injury and into form Gary has some good options (still light weight for cover in defence)

Did you get bullied at school Bruce?

Anyone else notice 2 lads in Torquay United Tracksuits sat in the family stand? I didn’t recognise them as first team players. Perhaps youth team players or new signings??

Randell on bench for Plymouth at Wimbledon.

Good call.
He was just what we needed - didn’t have allot to do but talked well and was assured. Played out well from the back. Hopefully he stays.
I was wondering why he walked off after the game without applauding the fans but now I see why with comments like this.

Get behind the team, they did well today.

There is a team there they lack confidence and time playing together. It will come.

Lollos was excellent today as well.

I hope Gary signs Gabby (trialist A) up as soon as he left the pitch. Looked quality on the ball and hungry for it. Great strike as well.
There is obviously more to him as he didn’t make it at Yeovil and has been without a NL club since. Worth a punt and see if GJ can work his magic.

I’m terms of staring 11 for the season how about this?
Halstead
Sherring, Lewis, Omar , Moxey, Wynter
Lapslie, Hall, Little
Evans
Wright

You have Andrews and Lolos to come in as well. (Assuming we get Sherring back)

It feels like some good positive signings today. it’s impossible to compare any of these players to GJ signings of the past or players who have just left.
Had many people heard of Whitfield before he joined or anyone Cameron or Covolan? The proof will be in the performances
. Some won’t work out but I am sure some will be great players for us to be complimented by some good loans and we will do well again.
GJ gets it right more often than not.
In Gary we trust.

Apparently the National League has changed how they do things, so they can't announce anything until after players are registered with the league.

They did say that they have 7 coming in on Monday, though, with possibly another one prior to the Poole game.

also, Koszela and Slough's new contracts are for two years.

Not exactly news is it? We needed at least this many players to even have a match day squad and plenty of other teams have named signings before now. Gary is a good spin doctor also lowering expectations by telling us we won’t of heard of anyone we are signing.

No criticism on my part just curious, I am sure GJ has it all in hand and plenty of exciting signings to come.
Looking forward to taking in some pre season games

When do we start back pre season?
The club is silent on everything playing wise at the moment!
Lots of other clubs look as if they have been back this week or before. What are we thinking??

It also sounds like The Gaffer is resigned to Nemane leaving. He has 28 days to respond to our offer. As much as I like him if he hasn’t signed by now we don’t want him and isn’t invested in the project.
Interesting to read the other players who left contacted GJ to let him know they were leaning apart from Ben W

It is crazy how people are losing it on social media over these players leaving. It is a shame but let’s be real non of these young lads are local and they are being offered more money to play closer to home. Why wouldn’t they take it?
They don’t owe us anything and aren’t under contract so if they got injured I doubt we would continue to pay them.
What is a shame is we lose all of this talent for no money.
At the moment Covolan is the only player we had under contract that’s left who played in the final.

Are friendlies included with your ST?

How much do you think we would get for a front short sponsor and who would we attract?
The club and pro direct have made a decision to make kits that look more appealing and will sell more without a sponsor. Personally I think if we have ‘Sparkworld’ or ‘mod dec’ windows on a kit it cheapens it and is less appealing. I can only assume we sell allot more of the 1899 shirts to make up for the the lack of sponsor.
Some good marketing by the club

Agreed but it was listed as away shirt on the website
