Great result with an almost patched up side against a side that slaughtered us last season. Really chuffed with that, made a poorly man very happy lol.

Couple that with a defeat for Exeter, Plymouth,,, and Buckle,,,, happy days

What can i say about today? I can certainly begin by apologizing to Brian Saah for my comments yesterday regarding his performances and my opinion of him so far. I wasn't at the game today but to score and to keep a clean sheet must have been a pretty good performance. I would have been happy with the clean sheet. Saah must be given great credit for today but my opinion on him hasn't been overturned just yet, but i am over the moon with todays result all round. Well done the yellows!!

[Tq2Yellow]

Talk about a game of two halves - Ling's half time talks must be something else!
I had McPhee down for a hat trick today, and he bloody nearly got it! Lol

Great performance second half, although I thought Maccs were awful.

Lovely goal by O'Kane to finish it all off and delightful mazey run by Mans to create second, plus what can you say, Buckle's Brizzle thrashed, City beaten and Plymuff, reckon Buckles got five games left unless things buck up, already murmurings about players out of position and being dropped after good games.

Come on you yellows, but where are the supporters??

Very happy with today, we do seem to be a 2nd half side.
McPhee uptop was top class to today, held the ball up well and i feel it would be harsh to drop him for the next game if Howe is fit. (But Howe will always start infront of him)

Mr Saah did show a fair few people wrong today, ok he made a couple of poor passes and headers but thats normal for a league 2 centre half. Branno made mistakes every game last season and if Saah makes one hes the worst player ever. I do feel some comments on here ad at games about him are harsh, just feel hes not liked and getting picked on for anything he can. Plus he scored !!!

Other results are very good aswell. At the start of the season everyone would have taken 4th spot after 6 games and 11 points aswell which leaves us two behined top. Long way to go of course, but im starting to feel that Plymouth are really heading for Non League.

I'm really pleased Saah did well today as I knew he came to us fairly highly rated and experienced so it couldn't be all bad.

But before today (I wasn't there so can't comment) Saah has been mostly way below par. I have nothing against Saah at all, but I've not been critisicsing him because I don't like him. He has just been poor and others at the games have echoed those comments.

I don't want to criticise any TUFC player and I want them all to be successful. Hopefully today marks the start of a turnaround in form for Saah.

You forgot the Gargoyle result, which turned it into Special Brew.....

Well this was a game of two halves, first half to me was negative from both sides, some good neat football however no end product, i do not know what Lingy says at half time he sure has the magic touch, second half, to me was men against boys with many chances created and a score which could of ended at 5 or 6-0.

What a great day, good win for the gulls, exeter getting beat, buckle taking a thrashing.

One final thought, Saah today ha a much much better game, his goal and performance should give him some confidence going forward. Its not always easy to settle into a new club and hopefully today is a sign it will come good for him.

Fully agree that its not easy to settle and hopefully Saah can now move onwards and upwards in future games!! If he does carry on and gets better and better, a lot of credit must also go to Lingy! He's chosen to stick with him and has come under some pressure from fans, etc to drop him but hasnt. We shall see!!!

[bc-gull]

I think Saah really proved today what he can do, and why he is so highly rated by Ling. Hopefully this isn't a one off, but now we know he can do it, more of the same please Saah
