I fully sympathise with you in terms of the situation, I was very fortunate to have seen the other side of the tremendous support the Torquay fans gave when I played, I also see what can be achieved when you believe. What I have found over the years is momentum can carry you forward and if everyone at least till the end of the season stays positive and supports the club during a really difficult period we may be able to get out of this, the alternative is we all walk away and let the club die on its feet.
Over the years I have provide many words of wisdom based on my time in the game, but people with less knowledge and experience than me made decisions that has brought the club to its knees, watching this over the years was very frustrating and I know where you guys as supporters are, I know from my time in Torquay last month that things are going to take time to get better, I see the alternative as a poor choice and will stay positive and support the club in anyway.
Its still gong to be a journey of ups and downs and may come down to the wire, reality is we need to put our trust in the people who can effect change, as a player I only accepted defeat when the final whistle blew, Kevin is driving the bus and only he can get us to the destination, lets give him a chance to prove his worth, I have only met him recently, he is inexperienced, but not naïve and is on his own managerial journey and needs all the support he can get during this difficult time.

On Sunday I accept there were a few boos and shouts of "rubbish" as the players left the pitch but the vast majority either clapped, admittedly half-heartedly,or just stood and said nothing.
Considering our Home record I think the fans have been very loyal and our average home gate is the envy of many other clubs in the National League.
Clearly this Forum has been the outlet for a lot of negative comments but I think you have to accept that it is inevitable that fans become frustrated at some of the awful football served up by full time professionals.
All I can say is that the vast majority of us fully understand that venting our anger on the players and the Manager is counter productive.
