Thanks to late goals elsewhere we were the only one of the bottom teams to win.
Welling are back in trouble and Hemel aren’t safe either.
With 7 teams still at risk of joining Dover & Havant in the bottom 4, it would seem that about 50 points will be enough for safety.
We need 2 more wins from 7 games, 5 of which are teams in the bottom half of the table.
If it wasn’t for the 10 point deduction we’d be 9 points below the play offs, roughly where we’ve been for some time.
So we are a mid-table team and should be better than those at the bottom.
I’m far more optimistic than I was before yesterday.

Maybe you could repost to remind me?
Great result today should go some way to securing our place in this league next year. If we still have a club.
Dave I appreciate your comment. at least it has an opinion with some thought. Which is more than can said for some of the other comments.
Afterall is supposed be a Torquay Fans forum.
Personally, as much as CO was invested in Torquay for one thing. I would still rather have his money and not be in the mess we are in at the moment.

This is that club looks like without CO money! bearly existing heading full steam into oblivion.We still await our Torquay night in shinning Armour with pots of money..... More chance of lord Lucan coming in with a bid.
As we stagger from one disastrous result to another at least we have our club back......
Torquay 1-3 Hampton Richmond

Given that Truro have the same points as us but 5 games in hand I think we want them to win.
If Eastbourne win they'd only be a point behind us.

Of course if we don't gain at least 6 and probably about 9 points, then there's not much point at looking as other results as we'd be very likely to go down.

Since Christmas we have achieved relegation results.
What has changed?
