Will we stay up?

I would still say it’s much more likely we go down then stay up. I think we are going to need at least around the 50 point mark to give ourselves a chance which means around 30 points from the last 20 games. What we haven’t been able to do is put a run of games together this season. Yes the Maidston...

Torquay United vs Taunton Town 14/01/2023 15:00

Be surprised if this goes ahead. Pitch was in a bad way against Halifax and more rain since then. Yellow warning for more rain overnight until 12.00 tomorrow

WILL GOODWIN

Surprised a league 1 club would be interested. He was ok for us but didn’t strike me as a player capable of playing 2 leagues higher. That being said he hardly much in the way of service or much to work with.

Torquay United v Yeovil Town - 26th December 2022

Just point out that on average a footballer will burn around 3400 calories a day, full English being about 1000 I'm not exactly seeing the problem I think the point is Andrews is clearly overweight and not fit enough to be a professional footballer. The general issues around the level of fitness of...

Gary Johnson, Red card ?

You’re right about Durkin but, the truth of the matter is that Cooper got the better of Johnson tactically, we didn’t perform in the second half and Yeovil got a share of the points. We have one home win all season and that’s not all down to poor referees. This is spot on. Yes arguably the Yeovil l...

Is our Squad Match Fit?

Clearly our squad doesn’t look fit enough and you have to wonder what sought of physical preparation is going on at the club. As for Andrews he is clearly overweight and shouldn’t be anywhere near a professional side. Kalvin Phillips was dropped by Man City this week for the same reason and so shoul...

Torquay United v Yeovil Town - 26th December 2022

Completely deflated by that performance today. First half we were pretty decent and could have been more than 1 up at half time. Yeovil offered very little and we had a few good chances. Second half however was a complete shambles. Their 2 subs and change of formation completely destroyed us as we g...

Torquay United v Yeovil Town - 26th December 2022

Bristows Bench sold out, 56 tickets left in the family stand, could we be on for a bigger crowd than Derby? It looks like it. The Bench is sold out and just a handful of tickets available in the family stand. Anyone know how many Yeovil are bringing? I would assume at least 700 so should be around ...

Will we stay up?

Well after todays results the situation looks a bit more promising. Scunthorpe, Oldham, Maidstone and Gateshead all losing.

Our next 3 league games, Oldham and then the double header against Yeovil may well decide our season.

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

In the Torquay Talk poll on should he stay or should he go ? 71.8 % voted Johnson OUT........the time is NOW The time to act was 2 months ago probably after Wrexham. I feel we have left it too late now for any new manager to come in and change our season. We have wasted 11 games since then, many of...

We will be lucky to win another 3 or 4' It really is time Faith r a new manager just see how f we get some kind of boost! This once again its hard to believe h...

I think that’s us done after todays result. With Maidstone and Yeovil winning we just fall further adrift. No sign of improvement in results l.

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

Alternatively look at the attendances of Woking, Barnet and Solihull. Those are compariable or worse than Torquay's and yet those clubs occupy the play off places. GJ has **** up, like he eventually did at every other club he has managed. That said I don't think the club will sack him because he ap...

Barnet v Torquay : Saturday 19th November 2022 3.00

We’ll come good. A few additions to this squad in January and he’ll turn it around. You can see he is making good improvements with the players he has got at his disposal already. A much better defensive display today against a very good side. We’ll finish mid table. We just have to get behind the ...
