Shocking?! Did you start supporting us as of today or something?! Shocking is the poor side Gary Owers put together, the one Nicho had to deal with.

I didn’t think today was too bad. Two equal sides going at it, they were more clinical though which proved the difference. On another day the result could have gone the other way.

How could is Whitfield though! The lad is definitely going to places!!!

Chesterfield FC v Torquay United 14/9/19

Covolan
Wynts
Davis
Cameron
Cundy
Kalvin LK
Frankie V
Dickson
Duku
Reidy
Whitfield

Subs:
Shaun Mac
Lewis
Buse
Kosela
Slough

Obviously struggling a wee bit and not much depth at the moment. Average age of the bench is about 7.

Chesterfield currently winless, rock bottom, and players are arguing with fans. There fortune has to change at some point, I just hope it isn’t today. Seeing our current squad though, I’m not overly confident!

Barnet v Torquay United 26/08/19

The old cliche - a tale of two halves!

We absolutely ruined them in the first half, Barnet didn’t know what day of the week it was! The second, an absolute peach of a goal, not only for the finish, but build up play as well totally knocked the stuffing out of them. We could easily have gone in 3 up at half time as we had some decent chances right at the end of the half too.

Second half, we just didn’t get going. The ball should have gone into row Z from Cameron for their first and once they’d scored it you could tell we’d be hanging on. The second was actually a neat finish, Cov stood no chance of reaching it as it was tucked right in the corner.

At 2-2 anyone could have gone on to win it. Couldn’t really see the goal mouth scramble as it was up the other end but apparently Asa had one cleared off the line!

I would have taken a draw before kick off but if I’m being really honest, at half time I would have settled for nothing less than 3 points going back to Devon!

Just to note, I really liked their new ground, but twenty quid to get in is daylight robbery!!

Ex-Gull watch

Andre Wright bagged himself 4 goals tonight for Bohemians v College Dublin in the Irish top flight! A clumsy and absolute lumbering wreck he was when he was with us for the start of last season. A shadow of his former self when we had him first time around. Was immensely unfit and carrying way too many extra pounds to pass as a pro footballer.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

I think 300+ for a midweek game with a 6 hour ish round trip might be a bit ambitious. I’d be happy with around 200 there to be honest but seeing how well we travelled last season it wouldn’t surprise me if we took a few more.
Three of us are travelling up from Milton Keynes, hour and a bit travel and easy to get to so looking forward to it!

I remember going March time during our relegation season when we’d had all of that snow, never been so cold in all of my life, it truly was bitter!!! Finished 1-1 but we should have picked up all 3 points that day.

Brilliant news about Frankie V!

Anyone know anything about the less familiar names in the squad, and who the trialists are?

Concord Rangers V Torquay United 23/3/19

Tricky game that and as said, the pitch didn’t suit our game. Concord were unbeaten in ten games prior to today so they are no mugs, and this was never going to be easy. They were very organised but we kept on chipping away and then up steps Cameron to nod home from close range!!

Cracking couple of days of footy for me, Wembley last night to watch a Sterling masterclass, and I got to see the boys bag another three points today!! Tag a Woking loss on to those two and it’s been decent!!!

Dartford 16 Mar 19

Going to tough this now!

The only saving grace is Welling are winning against Woking. I hope they play as slyly as they did against us and the same dodgy ref is in charge....

East Thurrock v Torquay United PP to 26.2.19

Well, that’s how you win a league! It’s never going to be all sunshine and rainbows, champions have to be able win ugly and thats exactly what it was tonight!

ET are definitely going down, they offered extremely little and were your typical brutish, lump it forward direct type of side. Give them there dues though, they kept us at bay and looked dangerous from corners and long throws, especially at the end.

We thought JSW limped off rather than subbed off but we did look defensively better when Hall dropped back in there. Niate wasn’t particularly good either, he still looks slightly rusty to me. Hopefully a few more games under his belt will lift him to the standard he was playing at before he lost out to JSW.

None the less, another three points and you could tell GJ was relieved by the end.

Horrible, dirty, cheating little team they are but credit where its due, they deserved the points today, we just weren’t at the races.

We were a country mile off the pace today, chalk and cheese compared to Tuesday night. GJ has got his work cut out this week as inevitably we will be starting the Dulwich game next week in second place.

Kalala for me just has to start ahead of Keating. I like Keats, but Kalala is lightyears ahead of him.

Extremely pissed off, probably because I haven’t felt like this since GO was here, but mainly because of that clown in black!

I can’t wait, providing the game is on! The weather this week looks so sketchy, could be raining, snowing, sleeting, who knows!
