Tranmere Rovers v Torquay United 9/12/17
The talk about being out of it by Christmas was ridiculous. Mid table talk was even worse. Just do the maths, this is going to be a struggle to the end. We need goals and need others pulled into the struggle (Eastleigh). :goodpost: Yes agreed, I have been saying this for several weeks now on 2 foru...

The National League Form Table.
I've just checked how many points the team 4th. from bottom have ended up with over previous seasons. I was quite surprised how varied their points total have been since the National League went to 46 games. The 4th. from bottom team has finished with between 41 points (once) to 51 points (twice). 4...

The National League Form Table.
Now we have played precisely half the season, 23 games, it is an appropriate time to grasp what sort of form we will need to survive relegation this season. If we assume we need 50 points to survive which is normally enough to escape relegation we still need 32 points from our remaining 23 games. If...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17
Owers and Kuhl may only have been here 7 weeks but the pressure is really on them to get some wins soon 50 points seems an incredibly tough ask. 28 games to go, we need for instance 10 wins 9 draws and only 9 defeats a win and a draw every 3 games, cant see it happening at present :goodpost: I trie...

FC Halifax Town v Torquay United, Match Day Thread, 21st October 2017
Well said, Jeff. I'm pleased someone agrees with me on this. We are still way off track from getting to the 50 point and a chance of the safety mark. History tells us we WILL need around 50. Going above Solihull is a good psychological lift to be off the bottom but in the grand scheme of things we h...

The Task Ahead with 33 Games to Play
Good thread that shows the big task ahead to just survive relegation. Let's say we need 50 points to survive, we need 46 points from the remaining 33 games = 1.39 per game (I calculated 1.33 when Owers took over). Over 46 games, 1.39 would give you 64 points over a whole season. In the last 5 season...

MOTM - Wrexham
1. K Moore - scored all important goal, won headers, physical and hungry 2. Young - great deliveries from corners that set up goal and work rate 3. Sparkes - we have missed his quality especially when used on left wing 4. B. Moore - important saves when we could not clear our lines and decisive from...

Torquay v Southport Saturday 29th October 3pm
Absolutely dire! I thought before the game that this could be a pivotal match that shapes our season and our worst nightmares were realised this afternoon. Take away sponsors MOTM Williams quality goal in the first half and what you were left with was a performance as dreadful as anything I've seen ...

Torquay v Aldershot 22nd October 3pm
It was a bit of a minor miracle we came away with a point today after sustained Aldershot pressure and goal attempts. But thanks to a master class in goalkeeping from Brendan "USA" Moore, Torquay stole a point. Time and again Aldershot pulled the trigger and expected to score and yet Moore...

Torquay United v York City - Saturday 10th September 2016
A deserved 2-0 win today with some very good play at times. It was not all plain sailing as York themselves had some very clear chances in the second half and a better team you feel could have punished Torquay for some familiar defensive frailties like Lincoln did last week. Crowd a good atmosphere ...

Torquay United v Bromley match thread Tuesday 9 August 2016
My first viewing of the Gulls this season. The first thing to say that was crowd 2,279 (with only 37 away fans) was a marked improvement from last season's disappointing crowds and the atmosphere was decent. The big screen situated in the corner between the away and Pop side showed the action of the...

Barrow game
There was plenty of entertainment today and a bit of a shame Barrow equalized in added time. A draw was probably a fair scoreline. Barrow had the better chances in the 1st. half and led 1-0 but Torquay having made their 3 subs in the 2nd. half took control and seemed to be heading for a win. Anyway,...

Torquay United v Tranmere Rovers
This was always a tricky looking fixture against the "big boys" of the National League and today the Gulls fell just short in the end. It was a decent performance and a decent match to watch and Torquay created enough decent chances to earn at least a draw. It was no disgrace losing to Tra...

Torquay United v Eastleigh
I thought you could sum up today in one word - inevitable. Yes we may have had the majority of the game but we rarely looked like scoring and Eastleigh contained us quite comfortably. We conceded a soft early goal from a free-kick and Eastleigh showed little adventure for the rest of the match and y...
