Torquay United Fans Forum

Yeh I knew that you and him have plenty of banter. Good to see positive and humorous stuff these days. Keep up the good work Dave.

Thought Southampton Gull was a tad harsh on you there Stefano. After all, we are the sages of this forum. I said Woking would wilt, you said Woking would wobble. Nuff said. 😆

Stefano knows I was just pulling his leg, Sam. I predicted we would pull clear of Woking and run out comfortable Champions so we're all on the same page ;-)

He's like a big cuddly teddy bear really! ;-)

2.3 to us ...Ben gerring own goal 90th min

I think this will be quite an open game as Woking need 3 points badly.
We have only conceded 3 goals in the last 5 games.
This could be a real thriller and I am going for Woking 2 United 4

Long post to admit that you were wrong 😉

Nice of you to examine it in detail though! ;-)

I did correct myself a couple of posts later and say that I had miscalculated and that we would actually be 7 points ahead when we played Woking and not 8 as originally stated.

However despite my timely correction I cannot claim to have been correct, as I was going on Woking drawing at home to Slough and losing away to Bath. So although the overall points tally was the same I got both results wrong!

Anyway Nostradamus wasn't perfect. Nobody has ever known what he was predicting other than looking back in hindsight and saying he must have been predicting something that had already happened! ;-)

I think we will be 8 points clear at the top by the time we play away to Woking so I don't think the game will have the significance everybody thinks. Still, no good getting ahead of myself. One game at a time. A professional win away today while Woking draw at home will kick it off.........and although we will be just about out of sight by 6 April we might as well go for that one as well to extend to an 11 points gap.

We can all then sit back and enjoy Easter! ;-)

Well this was just 2 weeks ago but at the time of posting we were 2nd in the table waiting to go to Concord Rangers in the afternoon and were 1 point behind leaders Woking who had a home tie against a mid-table team.

So you can call me Nostradamus from now on! ;-)

Ok I was one point out, but even the real Nostradamus would not have expected Woking to snatch a draw at Bath!

We have to be confident today. The team is playing well, and Woking have to come at us as in reality a draw is of no use to them so that should open it up nicely as we like to get in behind them with the speed and prescision we have shown so consistently since GJ came onboard. If we lost it would not be a disaster and we would still win the league, but I would be quite surprised if we are not 10 points ahead by the end of the day.

It is massive pressure for Woking. They know a defeat will finish it. Confidence will be shot if the house of cards comes crashing down. Their manager has helped us by saying yesterday he would possibly keep 3 or 4 if they get promoted. A great example of how not to boost your players and how to demotivate them! I could see Woking struggling to hold on to 2nd place.

Wealdstone look good for me to progress through the play-offs and win at Woking in the final (if Woking do indeed hold on to 2nd). Wealdstone would certainly fancy Woking away in the final, they won convincingly there not long ago.

We will win today - but win, draw, or lose we will be going up as champions. A happy position to be in!

Happy Easter! :~D

Yes, make sure you put your handbrake on.

The Leisure Centre right opposite the ground is the best bet but it will fill up early. There are a couple of car parks about 10-15 mins walk away, other than that, it's pot luck with street parking.

Has anyone got any of parking tips for Saturday?

Onside and bad goalkeeping!

Bath equaliser here (link borrowed from cardsboard site)*:

For those of you old enough to remember him, the laughing policeman is alive and well and on the beat in Bath by the sound of it.

* I'm now informed that the video may be 'fake news' as it was from another match but enjoy the sound anyway.

Here is the real equaliser:

The Bath equaliser is on that link. You just need to click 'tweets and replies' rather than scroll through Marley's feed. They were claiming the equaliser was offside but not in a million years. Defender on far left playing him on.
