Is he waving goodbye……….please !!! 🤞🤞🤞

Because of the board and Chairman’s apathy.

20 minutes in and I don’t think I’ve seen one aimless punt up field.

"Unfortunate" is a very, very generous assessment of today's abject preparation and performance SG.

We never do well against physical sides and would have been satisified with a point but this is just hopeless

Interesting to hear a supporter shouting at Johnson and Downes on the radio broadcast at 3-0 asking "what have we been doing all week"

Can't argue with that!

Torquay United v Yeovil Town, Tues 7th Nov, 7:45pm

Poor performance (and I use that word reservedly as there was no evidence of performing) last night.

Yeovil tore us a new one with ease. Interesting that during a stop in play the Yeovil bench called their players over for, I assume, a tactics update whilst Johnson didn't see the need for that as we were only 2-0 down at the time. Or maybe he had no alternative tactics to draw on, from his wealth of experience!, to try to change the trajectory of the game.

What baffles me is that we have 10 recognised midfielders on the books, 1 (Dawson) on permanent injury list, 1 (Lapslie) out last night, 1 (Dolan) withdrawn with injury last night and 1 (Donnelan) out of position leaving 6 as a minimum. WHY do we never have a fit for purpose midfield on the pitch ???? Is it because we persist with hoofball rendering the need for a midfield obsolete? If we cannot fashion a functioning midfield perhaps Johnson should explore a 5/5 formation - 5 defenders and 5 attackers dispatching the need for a midfield.
