Torquay United Fans Forum

Why is it the people who have done the sum of **** all sit on their arses and criticise people who are trying their hardest to keep the club alive?

Might have a pint or two of Elvis Juice tonight …

Sick of people moaning and looking for flaws in a group of people trying their damn hardest to keep this club alive. What exactly do you want? No one is riding over the hill with billions to chuck into a bottomless pit.

My team would be.....

Halstead

Marshall
Tomlinson
Moxey
Harris

Stobbs
Lapslie
McGavin
Dawson

Hall
Jarvis

Whether all these players will ever be available on the same day is a totally different topic!

Halstead
Marshall
Tomlinson
Moxey
Martin (when fit)

Stobbs
Dawson
McGavin
Collins

Ash
Jarvis


Subs:

Just got home. That was scary bad. Absolutely horrific performance.

Give him a chance at least.

We did OK yesterday! Thought we started really well, but the half slowed down especially when Laps took a knock. Bath are alright for this level and had a bit of the ball. But we defended pretty confidently bar the last 10 minutes where we seemed a bit jittery. Most importantly we held out.

Dolan is definitely decent, can actually play on the half turn and has a bit about him. Theo Williams looked a handful as well.

My main criticism is we were very wasteful in the final third - the slide ball through was on time and time again but we wasted it.

On the whole, a good 3 points with a test to come on Tuesday.

You carry on burying your head in the sand

He’s not a moron. He’d spent over a 100 quid on a day that saw us get rolled over by Hampton and Richmond!

We are 10th in Step 2. If this was a different club I could see it getting ugly - Edwards got off very lightly.

Also - a lot of the conversation wasn’t on camera.

There’s a video on Twitter with some of the conversation.

I was witness to it. So a top line summary:

There was no question of the squad in August. Mel Hayman then said that Osborne has invested millions - I think she thinks we should shut up and be grateful.

Struggling to get loans of required calibre - ‘no one wants to come down to us’

Engaging with TUST is not going to happen - Hayman senior just laughed and said it was not what ‘he’ wants - that will be Clarke.

Lots of non-answers and smoke and mirrors. I can’t believe these are the people running the club.

No disrespect to the club, but if he isn't good enough for Fleetwood he hardly appears to be a stellar signing. As Lee Johnson has loaned him to Dad, it beggars the question, yet again, of what the f**** Peter Johnson does each week. It's a rhetorical question to which, I imagine, most fans know the answer.

You are aware Fleetwood currently play in League One - that’s three divisions above us! He might be good for us in the… NLS.

He kept a big, experienced striker quiet last night for most of the game and made some timely interceptions. No, he's not the finished article, but probably the best we've got at CB.

Be interesting to see Omar Ali back on loan with all his European experience!!

I think Ollie is best CB we have, but he struggled last night against Reid.

There’s no lack of effort really. And we have some decent players. The problem is the rest are simply nowhere near good enough.

This squad is all on the Johnson brothers. I understand we might not have the biggest budget in the league. But to be outclassed by Weston Super Mare….! Depressing times.

The group who laughed and joked through the minute silence, hang your heads in shame - you know who you are.

2 games. 2 mistakes absolutely knocking stuffing out of us. GJ simply has to win the next 3 league games.
