Torquay United v Weymouth FC Tuesday 5th Dec 19.45 KO

Great three points.

I thought Weymouth were a nasty team who clearly targeted Tom Lapslie. The two footed challenge by their No. 6 on Tom could have easily been a red card.

Another very poor referee, I know it’s NLS but the standard of refereeing surely can’t be this bad.

I thought the team played well with some very determined performances.

McGavin was my MOTM … who would have thought ! Great improvement from him and credit to those who have worked with him.

Their No. 3 smirked at the Popside when he got up after trying to get Lewis Collins sent off. Cracking goal from Lewis.

Worrying that we seem to be left with 12 fit players incl 2 keepers. The match at Frome is an irrelevance.

Stadium fan ownership

Back to school days … before Westlands when Westhill and Homelands were separate, Westhill had Windmill Hill and Homelands Quinta. Quinta is the prime housing site

TUFC V Yeovil (FA Trophy) - 18th Nov 3pm

Great to get a win. Enjoyable game - I hadn’t planned to go but changed my mind at lunchtime, glad I did.

Some good performances from our players.

Dreadful Ref.

Game changed when Nouble came off the bench but we held on for the win.

Boycott Bath

I’m not keen on a boycott - I want to support the team.

Should we have a song to demonstrate the long-term solidarity of supporters and our club TUFC - excluding owners, managers etc (?)

How about, ‘we’re Torquay United - we’ll never be defeated’ (might take a bit of explaining !), or, ‘ we shall not, we shall not be moved… ‘

I think that’s the worse possible outcome. TUFC have to pay a mad level of rent to Gaming international.

Torquay Utd v Welling Utd 21/10/2023 15:00

The last two games have dented my faith.

The lack of incoming loanees has dented my hope.

Have cancelled my planned trip to WSM.

Just looking for a win today to start rebuilding.

Torquay United v Maidstone United, Saturday 7th October, 3pm

We lost 0-1 against a team near us in the league - playing 60 mins one man down. Cold facts don’t seem too bad. But it makes the weekend miserable and the first half performance didn’t give much hope.
Unless your club is going to throw large sums of money at it, I think the reality of NL/NLS is that the quality of your team is largely down to the quality of your loanees. Many of our current squad would look quite good in a team with Nico Lawrence and Sinclair Armstrong. Not as simple as it sounds, loanees are probably a bit hit or miss, NLS is less attractive than NL, but I think it’s where we need to concentrate. I expect our management are working hard at this - no-one wants a repeat of yesterday.

St Albans City v Torquay United - 19th August 3pm

I listened on TUFC radio. It sounded like we created a good few chances and got a good result.

Even more pleasing as we were missing a few.

Very happy to get three points - onwards and upwards.

Who's in control?

I’m not a fan of Ross Marshall - based on past performances.

I enjoyed the interview on the TUFC website - it was honest and his eye treatment over the summer has clearly been a significant issue.

I guess he wore contact lenses during the match.

He had a good game last night, with the benefit of his eye treatment I hope he has many more.

Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00

It’s taken a while to get over that match.
Such a poor performance - was it just one shot on target in the second half ? Possibly one of the worst I’ve seen, despite good performances pre-season it’s hard to see the same players transforming to a promotion winning team. A solid central defender is the minimum required.
Moxey appeared to sustain an injury, hope that clears up quickly as he builds up to full fitness.
We knew the refereeing would be poor in NLS but that was far worse than I feared.
Optimism has been drained a bit but I will be there on Tuesday.
