Torquay United v Oldham Athletic Sat 6 August KO 3pm

I think this one will end in a 1-1 draw. Oldham may struggle at times adjusting to the league but *shouldn’t* have too many problems motivating themselves against an ex-league club.

McGavin to score for us

Transfer News & Signings

Not a fan of Halstead at all. There’s definitely got to be a keeper on the way, or mid-table mediocrity will be the least of our worries. The bloke’s in his 30’s now. He’s never been a regular keeper for any side he’s played for, there is a reason for that.

Squad 22/23

If we are talking about an injury free fit Asa Hall then no question he makes a starting 11. However towards the end of the season when he did start or came on he looked a lot slower and leggy. It really did show when the game transitioned, he struggled to keep up or get back. I m told that he is s...

Transfer News & Signings

I doubt Halstead would return from his home in Wales, without having a sniff of a chance of starting. I reckon he would gave been released and paid up otherwise. GJ will have his priorities to fill elsewhere in my opinion, and another gk to come in, just as an option. I'm usually wrong, but it's ju...

Transfer News & Signings

Hanson was quality for Dover last year and is a real leader. Their fans are gutted he’s left. McGavin scored a belter against us and did well for KL. We wonder why Gary doesn’t want to announce them too early, and then people go in on them like this with no need. They may not be CLE or Little or Lew...

Retained list out!

This is obviously Torquays business plan not to pay wages in June hoping against hope their first picks do not get snapped up by other more proactive and serious minded teams. I can imagine that Johnson has a number 2 choice for each position he thinks needs covered working on the principle that he...

Wearne enjoyed his time and was very complimentary about Gary and Aaron.

He would be a very impressive and very attainable target given his loan spell and how the fans took to him. I’d probably be more surprised if he didn’t sign on.

2022/2023 Campaign.

Johnson’s not going to Yeovil, they have more problems than Jay-Z, so it’s just not happening. The squad players, well they haven’t been good enough to break into a mid-table side, so they’re certainly not going to be good enough to challenge for a place in a side aiming for the play offs(at least)....

Taking the knee.

Unbelievable. We won 4-0 and the whole game was ruined by 22 blokes kneeling down for 5 seconds?

If you were that offended by players kneeling to highlight racial injustice, please do us all a favour and don’t come back to Plainmoor.

Wealdstone v Torquay Saturday 26th February 2020

Please help us raise some money for UNICEF in Ukraine. Could be your ticket money, the amount a live stream would’ve cost you during Covid, or maybe just the cost of your pre-match pint.

As the good folks at Tesco would say, Every Little Helps
