Retained List 2022/23

If Kinsella signs he looks a sound player at this level - just an initial look.

If Armani stays that would be a major boost - perhaps the club is just waiting for the ink to dry on his signature before releasing the list.

Tuesday feels more positive than Monday - so far. I’m a Torquay supporter so naturally a ‘glass half full’ person !

Retained List 2022/23

I think we’d all like to see local talent developed into first team players and maybe even generate some transfer income. With our youth scheme being a lower status than our neighbours you have to wonder if we can actually attract sufficiently talented player when our neighbours have first pick.
Like others, I’m disappointed that Slough appears to have been released - he looked a good prospect in PSF … but it is a big step up to National League standard.

TUFC v Eastleigh Monday 18th April 3pm KO.

Very disappointing result today. I think we suffered due to a lack of strength in our squad, we certainly missed Wearne and it will be a shame if it's the last we see of him this season.
Referee was very poor but he wasn’t responsible for us not scoring. He didn’t deal with the antics of the Eastleigh players and actually added to their time wasting efforts. Based on that performance he should not be refereeing on this (poor) league.

TUFC v Notts County Sat 9th April KO 3pm

What an amazing game. Fantastic result and a brilliant atmosphere on the popside. Great team performance.
Like others I felt a bit concerned when they scored making it 2-1. Quality goals for us - thrilled for CLE, he has worked hard all season.
No sympathy for Cameron , he wanted to be a ‘secret agent’ to tempt Nemane away.

You can always rely on BBC Sport to dedicate time to TUFC! The team lists shows us starting with 10.

Torquay vs Bromley 5/03/2022

A good draw at the end of the day.

I thought we played much better than recent games, but still missing a striker.

The red was a bit harsh, he was the last man and it was a foul but a goal scoring opportunity (?).

Our fouls got yellows but theirs didn’t !

Shame Wearne’s effort in the second half wasn’t on target .. great effort all round from the team - but only one point.

Would I have taken a point before kick off ? - prob not.

Great to be at the game today.
Tactics were right and 100% commitment from everyone. Brilliant atmosphere and fantastic to win against a team that thinks they can buy promotion.

Torquay United v Stockport County Sat 11th Dec KO 3pm

Fantastic game today - everyone put in a shift. Similar effort and commitment to Weymouth game and this needs to be the standard we maintain. Looking forward to Boxing Day game and checking out the route to Eastleigh. A great performance from Mac in goal. Excellent three points. So happy !

Torquay United v Dover Athletic Sat 13 Nov KO 3pm

Great to get the three points although I thought we had lost the opportunity as the game went on.

Some good performances - O’Connell, Moxey also Little, Lewis, Lollos and Mac. Great to see Jake back in action.

Booing Armani’s MOTM totally unacceptable.

Looking forward to having CLE back.

Torquay V Kings Lynn - 23/10/21 - 3pm

I was there. Great to get three points and a little confidence back.
Pop side crowd (incl drummer) were in good voice which raised the mood a little.
Armstrong really impressive and looks a great loan signing. The team formation was so much better after Holman was subbed off - CLE was much more effective and got a lot of headers in the more advanced role. Joe Lewis - another impressive performance, such a good player.

Torquay United v Southend United Sat 18 Sept KO 3pm

Great to get the 3 points and to be there to celebrate.

Good games from Lewis, Lolos and CLE. Johnson worked hard. MacDonald barely had a save to make but communicated well and gave off confidence, Wynter much improved.

I see BBC Spotlight did it again; announcing our result as 0-0 - what a bunch of (biased) amateurs!

Torquay United v Altrincham Sat 21 August KO 3pm

Disappointing result today.

But not a cause for panic. Goals came from mistakes - which can be sorted. Corners were poor and can be improved. Team will be better with Asa, CLE and Jake.

It was the first time this team / newbies have played a team at their level.

In GJ we trust.
