Manse--Pearce---Downes-----Cruise THANKS! What a team to put out no idea!

Craig--McCourt--Mozika---Chapell

----McCallum-----Hawley----------

Hawley often dropped into the number 10 role behind McCallum though.

Nathan Craig should have played in the centre, not his fault but he's at his best in the middle where he can go both ways we've seen him wide and it does not work. Mosika is not fit and to bring him in to this game against a top side was stupid. Why can we see this and he can't!

The trouble with that is that 'our' team selections are never put to the test whereas the team selections made by our club manager are! It is therefore completely risk free to post whatever team selection you want on an internet forum safe in the knowledge that it will never be tested and subject to ridicule. It would be a reasonable assumption that team selections made by the internet forum experts would turn out to be even more disastrous than our current predicament

I'm sorry but I would put my football knowledge against Knills any time and I would not make comments if I did not think so. If Knill selected a team that I thought was what I would put out and it lost I would support him to the hilt. This man has lost his way!

Sorry but that line up was guaranteed to see us beaten. Mozika hasn't played a game for a year. Craig has been worse than useless in the short amount of time that he has been on the pitch and McCallum and Hawley up front - jesus they are the two most immobile forwards we have got.

If you read the post I did not see Saturdays game but if I wasto play Craig he should have played central. The team selected was abismal and would not give the players confidence.

Yes I know you are experienced Arcadia and I wasn't having a pop at you personally, yours just happened to be the last post saying what the manager should be doing. Most haven't got your experience, and you of course will know that the people who say who should or should not be picked do not see the players every day in training, do not know of any niggling injury or illness problems, do not know if attitude is right or what may be affecting it (eg personal / domestic problems).

Well, just got back after staying with my ancient father out at Kingsteignton and after see Forever and Ferrarilover in B&L and then watching THAT!!! I have to say I am really worried about our league status even at this stage. Loose at Accrington (and we probably will) and then to Argyle and it's a defeat too far for Mr Knill I am afraid. We just didn't seem to have any idea of what to do yesterday once we went behind. Clueless is being kind. No subs until it was too late and no craft or guile to get in behind them at all. There seem to be a look of bewilderment once a Torquay player got the ball as no one was moving to make space or run into a channel the pass went astray EVERY time. There seems to be a lack f confidence creeping in at an alarming rate and that is a very corrosive thing so some action has to be taken very soon otherwise we wil be down before Easter. Sorry guys, that was rubbish yesterday
