Torquay United Fans Forum

I was at this game this afternoon. I was impressed with the midfield and defence. They only made one mistake in the first half leading to a Farnborough shot being blocked. The two quick goals were maybe things to come. But no the Farnborough goalkeeper did not make one save during the whole game although Musa clean through should have troubled him. The Torquay goalkeeper only made two saves the whole game late on but they were vital.

If both sides had a finisher there would have been a lot of goals.

Torquay fans were complaining about the referee but he had a good game and let the game flow. He did book players and give some a talking too, but they were justified.

What about Lily laight for manager. She's from Torquay, has a football pedigree, and is fit; cannot do any worse.

Just proves Johnson is not a coach.

We'll see if Johnson is a coach or just a Harry Redknapp clone. Redknapp thoughout his managerial career brought in players to do a specific job. When they did not do it he brought in another so that the various clubs he managed ended up with huge squads; a luxury Torquay can't afford.
Johnson certainly brings in lots of players but doesn't seem to have the ability to coach them.

Listening on radio; two new players. How many players have been used this season. Gary Johnson has Harry Redknapp syndrome.

He used to buy a player to do a specific job, when he failed he got another one in and his clubs like West Ham Tottenham etc had huge squads with most of them not playing. In other words he did not coach or the players did not listen to him.

3-0 down. It has come to that time when if the manager can't get the players or they don't do what he says then he has to go.

If the players will not do what the manager wants, then the players or manager have to go. A lot of players have gone............

After five games the second goalkeeper needs a chance. I would move Wright to centre half in the short term..

Johnson has made bad signings. Dodgy goalkeeper, dodgy centre half. Lost too many good players at the end of the season.
