[color=#FF0000]Didn't say that T.T. was better than N.Wroe did I? I said that he has "far more class". I.M.O. Tyrone never reached an acceptable level at Brainmore, but was able to play very well in spurts, he then faded out of the game, when on form his vision was great.He must have frustrated P.B. no end as he was never able to get the best out of the player. It would not have suprised me if T.T. hadn't played a blinder against Tqy & proved to be the match winner. Seems that Mansfield are also not able to get the lazy little s#d to play up to his ability[/color].[/quote]


"far more class" as you put it would suggest to me you think t.t is better than nicky wroe.

as for t.t never reaching an acceptable level that really says it all.

and as for him playing a "blinder" against us on saturday, i dont think in the 15mins he had he made that much difference! one of the first things he did was foul nicky wroe! priceless! :) when i heard that wodger, i thought of you! :lol:

and as you have correctly pointed out, they cant get the him to have a decent game either!!! :lol:

[quote="SuperNickyWroe"][color=#FF0000]Would not be a bit surprised if T.T. did not get the better of us we should never have got rid of him, [b]far more class than Super (poor & ineffective) Nicky Wroe[/color[/b]]. Adam Murray could also be a problem.[/quote]

[b]are you having a laugh or have you been drinking? :roll[/b]:[/quote]

No, & no,
Yesterday at Oxford, it appears that he played his second reasonable game in a row after 12 months of being poor. No danger of him playing well again on saturday then! Thank goodness we have now got some decent young kids that will, I.M.O. prove to be "up for it" & far better than Nicky Wroe. We will be able to get shot of him in the summer, because as you know he wan't to go back up north.[/quote]


[b]if you seriously think that t.t is better than nicky wroe then you have some serious football issues mate.[/b]funny that hes played in the last two games and we have won them both. strange that.
as for "decent young kids" we will have to wait and see - as posters have said on the match thread that o'kane didnt exactly cover himself in glory last night.
and, as other posters have alluded to, nicky wroe has stepped up and they (not me) have noticed that perhaps he is missed by the team for what he brings to it, and you notice it when hes not in the team.

As i suggested in the other thread, is he not doing exactly what Mussy got (widely and unfairly) criticised for? I.e performing in order to get a move away...?

[quote="NickGull"] If he keeps it up then it'll be foolish for us to let him go..[/quote]

He's the one wanting out though Nick, apparently we've tried to keep him....

I think the thing is with Wroe is that since CH left, he was asked to do a lot more work on the defensive side of his game. In the BSP, he was able to attack and support the strikers all the time, but since Hargreaves left, he has had to help Manse protect the back four more often, and rightly so. I wouldn't have wanted Wroe storming off on the attacks then us getting counter attacked and conceding.

I also believe the captaincy was an extra pressure too. Since that has been lifted, in the two games, he's done well. If he keeps it up then it'll be foolish for us to let him go..

I'm quite looking forward to seeing myself on tv!! :)

Which we don't want as it takes away our Sky TV game with Barnet (and the money that'll bring). Not sure which financially works out more lucrative, but I was quite looking forward to seeing us on TV!

This is a tough draw - but after tonight's performance we must stand a chance of atleast taking them to a replay.

I have been to Field Mill four times but have only watched two games there as a Gull. The first time i went the game was postponed 10 minutes before kick off due to an icy section of the pitch. OK for me as i only live 10 minutes away in neighbouring Chesterfield, but for most Gulls it was a sickener and a shocking decision to not call it off much earlier. I even visited the club the day after to have a rant at the general manager about it and suggesting that fans were at least reimbursed somehow. Fell on deaf ears i,m afraid. Second time was the rearranged game which i think we lost 2-1 and i left my scarf behind too! Third game was a bleak hammering 5-0 i believe on another night game. Ground is ok, good views but don't upset the stewards and do not under any circumstances park in the adjoining retail park. You will be ticketed or clamped. Final game was on the last game of the season against Rotherham when the Stags were relegated from the football league. It all kicked off afterwards with fans storming the directors box, fans on the pitch and coppers everywhere. Utter madness but good fun if you were a neutral!

[b]Mansfield have contacted me asking for answers for their match day programme, would anyone like some claim to fame and be in it by answering these questions? PM me or email to [email protected] with your answers and we will forward on the best answers.[/b]


(40-80word answers please)

Name/age/length of time supporting the club

What your strengths? (Both club and squad)

Weaknesses?

Most important player(s)?

How difficult-a league was the BSP to get out of?

How does life back in the Football League compare to BSP?

What was your initial reaction to drawing Mansfield in FA Cup (easy game or cup upset)?

Where you see Torquay realistically finishing this season?

Any other business?

They were, Pepperami. It was the second weekend of the season - following on from a 1-0 midweek away defeat at Oxford (lets hope we win these two this time around!!)

And yes, it was chucking down!

Yes they were shocking weren't they? I seem to remember it being very early in the season and having to run to the ground through a torrential downpour. Better memories of a late Garry Nelson screamer on a cold night with part of the Sheffield Weds band playing along behind us. Steve McCall was serenaded with the theme from Steptoe & Son. My mate always maintains that the crossbar is still rattling from a Brian Kilkline screamer in the first half.
