we've all had our say about Buckle, Rovers, and all our deserters, but i think we need to start concentrating on OUR players, OUR manager, OUR club, and no more threads that eventually end up focusing on the aforementioned Buckle, Rovers etc.
I for one, am quite impressed with Martin Ling so far. He may not have set the world alight yet, but he seems to be calmly and responsibly going about his business. i like the way he comes across in interviews, there's no bullsh*t, it's all plain and simple. he's a clued up guy, he knows the size of the task ahead, and i think the way he's dealing with it (on the face of it anyway) is commendable. He needs time, we should give him that, and cut the guy some slack, and trust him to do the right thing. it was a challenge the day he arrived, and seeing your player of the year and top scorer leave must've been a kick in the slats, but we will recover, and come out the other side ok.
Our squad is coming together. Yes, we need a few more in there, and i'm sure it will happen. I'm looking forward to seeing the GK and defence, and what Shaun Taylor can do to get them organised, and playing well. i'm very optimistic about it.
We still have Nico, Manse and others who know their business, know TUFC, and i'm sure the squad will have that old Torquay United togetherness that has served us so well over the past few seasons.
i'm not trying to make this another "let's be positive" thread, just a place to post about TUFC, and what's going on in our club as we countdown to the start of another season. Maybe if we can come up with a few suggestions on here too, and general comments about what's happening at the club, the likes of Andrew Candy who come on here occasionally, i'm sure would be glad to hear what we've got to say about OUR club, and not everyone else.
