Were you actually there this afternoon? As others have posted, we could have easily been 3 - 0 down by half time. Hemel Hempstead were given time on the ball and outplayed us. The second half was a different story as the part-time players ran out of steam and yes, Edwards and Andrews made a hell of a difference. But don't get carried away by thinking this was an easy win. It most certainly wasn't.brucie wrote: 01 Sep 2018, 17:54 What a fantastic victory and well done to Mr Owers for his excellent loan signings of Edwards and Andrews.
Lets hope that Mr Owers enjoys his Saturday night for a change and puts his feet up with a bottle of fine wine. If anybody deserves it he does.
Congraulations also to Mr Jamie Reid who rose above the abuse to net the goal that sent us on our way.
Lets hope that Mr Brewhoot, Mr Floyd, Mr Richinns and co enjoy their Sunday dinner tomorrow. I wonder if they will be having an extra portion of gravy with their humble pie?. Mmmmmmmmmm bet its going to taste sooooooooooooo good.
Just being serious for a moment though - what a bunch of absolute tosspots these people actually are.
Anyway, I am off to raise a glass or tow to Mr Owers and the boys. COYY.

Make no bones about it, first half we were nervous, lacking confidence, and as bad as I've seen all season, two first saves from Bass, two open goals missed by Hemel, one dragged wide, the other headed against the post, was the only that stood between us and this game being over at half time.
Second half things improved, got Andrews and Edwards more into the game, however I feel the game turned in our favour on the Keating for Williams substitution, all of a sudden having a forward pressing, constantly asking questions of the Hemel defence allowed our midfield to come into the game more.
Delighted for Reid, one of his best games this season took his goal well, although surprised Bass didn't get MTOM, as he kept us in the game, making some further saves late also, a goal then could have made the last few minutes nervous. Once that goal had been scored, the relief and confidence was clear to see and from then on, there's only going to be one winner.
On the first half Hemel will feel hard done by, and we've certainly got away one today, there's a long way to go, for anyone to things we've turned, or turning a corner, but it's a start, another win next week is a must.
Great to meet up SNW and shock of the day Trojan ' slack bladder' 67 managed to stay out of the toilet
Your posts are always balanced and honest. Confidence is what this team needs, maybe this could be the catalystbrucie wrote: 01 Sep 2018, 21:31 Hector - Enjoy the victory instead of carping on about something that happened fourteen years ago. That's the trouble with supporters like you. We have won 2-0. we havn't conceded a goal again (despite having two first choice centre halves out) yet apparently it is no achievement to win because of the league we are in.
Was it Mr Richinns who berated Owers for signing Andrews in the week. Well - what a fool he is looking tonight.
So HH hit the woodwork - so what. I draw your attention to the final score Torquay 2 HH 0.
Here we go again6667GULL wrote: 01 Sep 2018, 19:01 We won but overall were still poor.
Hall, Regis, Williams and Winter were dire.
Reid goal equals MOM, they had to give it to someone.
Only the two lads on loan from Bristol provided any spark.
We must still do a lot lot better and be beating teams at this level with ease.
We beat a team who shipped 5 at home just last week after another poor first half. If you think I've got anything humble to eat then think again. Until he gets HIS squad into the play offs and keeps them there he'll still be a shit manager in my book. How many games has it taken to get just 45 minutes of positive performance.brucie wrote: 01 Sep 2018, 17:54 What a fantastic victory and well done to Mr Owers for his excellent loan signings of Edwards and Andrews.
