Torquay United Fans Forum

Was thinking of going to Plainmoor this afternoon but have changed my mind

Going instead Sunday 19th when Steve Elswood's band wagon rocks up at Plainmoor, probably the better footballing occasion. Gary could send some of his bunch along to see how to pass ,cross ,defend and most of all find the net.

See you there ??

Well here we go again!!
Another home game for the yellow army. Unfortunately just can't see where we can get a win from with this bunch. Except for Tom Lapslie Nico Lawrence and may be Mark Halstead, and new man Kevin Dawson the rest are questionable to be included as 'footballers'.
If we don't see Jarvis Hall and Moxey returning it's gonna be a long afternoon for our faithful supporters. It will be interesting to see how many actually turn up.
No doubt Andrews will find the back of the net for Wealdstone, something he was unable to do for us.
Will probably have the same lame questions and answers from 'The Gaffer ' after the match,it's actually embarrassing to watch.
Anyway 4 more home games to endure after today, including the mighty Wrexham on 29th April. May well be all over by then !!!
Has anyone seen the Fat Lady yet ??

Even the match report on BBC Sport was amazing !!

Apparently Sammy Collins tested their keeper in the first half

Would have been a Miracle if that was true !!

Two points gone !!!
Totally unable to convert so many chances against a very poor side.
Hopefully won't come back to haunt them at the end of the season.
.

Not being nasty to him, but if he hasn't played this season he should fit into our defence just fine

The only positive is, he has years of experience behind him and should bring solidarity to our back line what we have been missing all season

Pity it was only one. Notice Q PR have recalled De Silva,seems a bit odd...unless he got disillusioned with not being played in his natural position and asked to go back.
Maybe a new 'winger' to replace him !!

Agree with Toastkid, fullbacks centrebacks and wingers all there natural positions.
Why was it a 'cunning plan' to play Mensah at left back and move Donellen when he's played really well in that position for several games.
Also putting DeSilva on the left hand side of defence when he is an out and out right winger ffs.
Hopefully tonight may see the reappearance of Hall and Martin !! Probably playing in goal and centre forward respectively. COYY

We are getting into more than squeaky bum time now!! The great win over Barnet has all but been erased after the debacle against Dorking, a game which we just HAD to win.

I think the management forgot to instill that to the players on Tuesday, well all bar a couple of them the majority were going through the motions and that's being generous, we didn't see much motion at all.

So now it's on to Southend on Saturday with the teams confidence shot to pieces,beaten by a team of part timers who got hammered the previous Saturday and didn't even train before Tuesday's game,maybe Gary could learn from that.

We need to have Asa and Dan and hopefully Collins available for selection,if have any hope of getting a result. And what has happened to King Creole? Is he still here ? And also Ali Omar, he may not be a gifted individual but you know what you get from him total commitment and energy,something lacking from some of the team on Tuesday.

Hopefully Torquay can beat Southend, and I just hope and pray they can stay afloat until the end of the season at least. Or our win at Southend earlier in the year and the 3 points gained would be deducted making our points total even worse.

Discuss!!

Sorry can't find any players to name

My vote goes to the 300+ Yellow Army

Thanks potrugull great news about Asa he could be the difference in our midfield to the end of the season. Just hope he can stay fit. However still no update on Dan ,he has also been badly missed all season just hope for a speedy recovery

Well Aguilar has definitely gone backto his old club. As for Croel .. who knows?? The usual silence from Gary ,think he's still here but injured. We also need more information on Asa and Dan ...when they may return. . but it's like trying to get blood out of a stone with GJ

If Barnet and Notts County 'perform' as they both did against Torquay, there won't be much action. Time wasting with goal kicks and free kicks, feigning serious injury ect. This appears to be the way the 'top teams' play this season

Need to off load someone can only play 5 loanees Agair looked the part on his arrival..but failed to impress also Croel hasn't featured much .

From the first month of this season I would have said Mcdonald, but as the games have progressed I would now say Halstead. Unlike Mcdonald who had a decent defence in front of him, Halstead has had to perform many heroic displays behind a very makeshift lot. Seem they are changing practically every game...just hope they can remain fit and I look forward to the return of Dan Martin !! COYY

Thanks GullsUnited and Portugal...should have got my facts right before I posted!!!
