Torquay United Fans Forum

Firstly, I wish every player who has played for us over the last couple of torrid seasons well - yes even Ross Marshall.

I view the coming season with optimism and excitement. Our team last year looked good on paper, but injuries aside, I wonder if those same players, either consciously or unconsciously thought themselves too good for NLS and were completely caught out by the opposition, who week after week demonstrated their passion, desire and commitment to win at all costs. What I saw in those players was totally lacking in our own team who often looked as though they thought that all they had to do was turn up.

Sadly they too often didn’t turn up and we lost regularly to supposedly “inferior “ teams. Well now we have PW who appears to be building a team that will hopefully show that same level of desire and commitment that we played against last year. That, combined with a manager and assistant who are able to coach,organise and inspire a team (and club) towards promotion, and help to restore some pride on and off the pitch.

Delighted that Brad Ash has re-signed!

An #incoming to be announced shortly!

The days seem so dull without an #incoming…….

Maybe it’s our number 2 goalkeeper - stating that “he’s a bit handy” ??

Never heard of Poppiholla so had to google it on YouTube. Great music and brilliant video!

Sounds a bit like a taller version of Laps!

Or maybe Cheltenham……

I liked him and he was always full of running which is one of the attributes that Wotton wants. Be interesting to see how he performs under a different manager. But staying fit is obviously crucial.

He coaches at the University of Exeter, which may make it appealing for him to join us, if he could still do that role. I'd be delighted if brought him to Plainmoor. An Exeter lad, that went on to FGR, Motherwell and Hearts. Not sure if he's signed up for another year at Bath City or not. But would be an excellent addition.

He’s still under contract at Bath. I presume part of the delay in announcing our new signings is to allow them time to post their goodbyes to their clubs/ fans, before they hear about it from Torquay United website.

The suspense is KILLING me!!

According to Gloucester Live, Jarvis will be Gary Johnson’s first signing, and Michael Flynn to be announced as head coach this week -:

I wonder how many (if any) of our former players will end up playing there

According to Transfermarket he is under contract until 30th June 2025. I don’t know how accurate that is. I’m also unsure whether or not going into administration makes existing contracts null and void should the player so wish.
