Without wishing to be rude to Courtney Richards, i feel that we didn't miss him during the second great escape. When i have seen him play, he tends to look part of the problem, rather than part of the solution, and i would question the need for him to remain club captain. Nicho is overall an excellent manager, but leaving Richards as club captain is, in my opinion, a possible error of judgement. There were other heros last season. McGinty is more worthy club captain ... played every match, totally commited, immediately resigned and didnt get injured. Ex Man Unt too ...

Was at Lincoln for our match yesterday ...

If the team are playing well, and giving a superb performance, with no apparent problems, and winning at the top club, then wouldnt it be a good idea for Nicho to NOT make any substitution, until there is an obvious need to do so.

If the starting 11 are doing fantastic, as they were, then please let them continue.

My gut feeling is that Nicho could have left the starting 11 to continue as we were winning 1-0. They scored immediately after our first substitution.

I can't see how the young Torquay player who scored our first goal against West Brom in the 2-1 win in the friendly on August 1st, can be completely overlooked as he has been, without explanation by Nicho. Realise it was just a friendly, but it was a top effort.

Callum Hall 19 scored a brilliant opening goal against WBA, i was at Plainmoor to see it. At Sutton, we couldnt play football. Common sense analysis is to get Callum Hall into the Torquay match day squad.
