[b]Best match of 2011 and why?[/b]
Has to be the Rovers game! It was brilliant to do Buckle over!

[b]Worst match of 2011 and why?[/b]
For me the worst match of 2011 was the play off final. All that way and the players didn't even turn up, but Buckle did have something do with it! The Crawley and Accrington game were awful as well.

[b]TUFC Player of 2011?[/b]
Lee Mansell - Manse is already a Torquay United legend! Works so hard every game and truly is the best Captain!

[b]TUFC Young Player of 2011 (21 or under)[/b]
Eunan for sure, he is so much better than a league 2 player! Simply class!

[b]Worst Player of 2011?[/b]
Chris Mcphee! I have no idea how he is playing in the football league.

[b]Best signing of 2011?[/b]
Bobby for sure, without him I don't think we would be doing as good as we are!

[b]Where did you expect TUFC to be in the table at the end of the year from the start of the season?[/b]
14th and I think that would quite an achievement.

[b]Where do you expect Torquay to finish come the end of 2012?[/b]
10th, I think we will always be fighting for a top 7 finish but I think we'll just finish out of the play off's.

[b]Out of 10, how would you rate Torquay United's 2011?[/b]
7/10 Buckle did very well and created a very nice side when he was here, it's just a shame he mucked it all up by the way he left! Lingy has done a great job so far, he had quite a big slip, but he's got it back together and he has the got the team playing really well.

[quote="Dutchgull"]Best match unquestionably was beating the Gargs 3-1. I have waited nearly forty years for that beating Buckles Rovers was good but it pails into insignificance in comparison. All three but especially Eunan's second goal will live me forever.

Maybe tktufc91 you haven't been around and suffered as much as me for all those years :~D

The Gargs result was good, but I just had a feeling before the game we were going to win, whereas I thought we wouldnt get anything at Rovers, so that result just puts it slightly in front.

With the end of 2011 on the horizon, I'd thought it would be fun to see our opinions on how we feel the Gulls 2011 has gone. Apologies if this is on the wrong board but I felt this would gain more exposure on the main board. I look forward to seeing everyone's opinions.

Bristol Rovers 1-2 Torquay. Everything about that day was brilliant. Getting one over on Buckle, brilliant atmosphere from the yellow army and a wonderful performance.

[b]Worst match of 2011 and why?[/b]
Torquay 0-1 Crawley (FA Cup) The fact we lost to Crawley was one thing, but for them to draw Man Utd away made my blood boil. S*ite weekend.

[b]TUFC Player of 2011?[/b]
Tough choice but I have to say Guy Branston. The work he did for us in our play-off season was top class and he was solid as a rock in most of his matches for us.

[b]TUFC Young Player of 2011 (21 or under)[/b]
Without a doubt, Eunan O Kane. Has a bright future in a higher level sooner rather than later

[b]Worst Player of 2011?[/b]
This may seem unfair but I have to say Brian Saah for two reasons. One, based on the performances I've seen, Brian Saah hasn't been brilliant. And two, I can't think of anyone else at this point. Seemed to pick up some well needed confidence before his injury. Hopefully he will come back and prove me wrong once again.

[b]Best signing of 2011?[/b]
Bobby Olejnik. Top class keeper. Got us out of trouble on numerous occasions.

[b]Worst Signing of 2011?[/b]
Chris McPhee. Don't rate him as a league striker. Maybe unfair but I havent been impressed with him so far this season.

[b]Where did you expect TUFC to be in the table at the end of the year from the start of the season?[/b]
15th. Would have been happy to be lower mid-table at this stage at the beginning of the season.

[b]Where do you expect Torquay to finish come the end of 2012?[/b]
I would say 8th, still in League Two.

[b]Out of 10, how would you rate Torquay United's 2011?[/b]
7/10. To make the play-off final was a brilliant feat for a club who ended the previous season in 17th place. Yes we lost but we have gained so much after that. Lingy has proven to be a breath of fresh air around the club and some of the signings he's brought in like Howe and Olejnik have been top class. The future looks bright.
