Apparently Shamir has a thigh injury & is out for the rest of the season. Thought he did well for us, looked like he was trying his best & cared about the result. Thanks Shamir & good luck !

Torn thigh muscle. According to Hargreaves Goodwin had tears in his eyes when he left. Guess he was crying with joy.
He isn't good enough for Brighton so could be one for the Conference.
On the subject of crying - did anyone notice O'Connor at the end of the game yesterday? Together with Pearce they were the last two players to leave the pitch. O'Connor was absolutely distraught.
That about sums it up really - the only bloke who shows any emotion and he isn't even our player. Top bloke at least he can proud of himself.
Compare that with Stevens who struts about like he has a broom stuck up his arse or nancy boy Bodin - stupid haircut and feck all else yesterday.

I also saw O'Connor's reaction at the end. He buried his head in his shirt for quite a while and was clearly upset.

As far as I am concerned, he has played wholeheartedly ever since his arrival and he, for one, should hold his head up high rather than feel any responsibility for the mess we are in.

Him and Pearce our only two players who gave their all for the whole season. So wish we could have them again next year but very much doubt it it

O Connor has been pretty much the best thing about this season and Pearce and obviously they feel it the most.

At least Goodwin gave me the best single moment of the last two months watching this shite with his incredible goal at Chesterfield. A real slice of quality. Sadly though everything else I saw of him wasn't up to the required standard on a regular basis. You could say he started like a train and then once he been told that the mantra for Torquay players was to not give a shit and ponce about like big girls then he didn't want to look out of place so thought if you can't beat 'em then join 'em.

On the flipside of this, I was stupid enough to spend over £200 making a weekend of the Newport game where he got sent off after about a second thus rendering my entire afternoon pointless and saw me sat freezing my gonads off in the bench whilst doing a cracking impression of a lump of wood. Stiff, hard and very very thick. Cheers for that Shamir, nice one bud!
