At least with the Dover game it felt like we had 11 men who wanted to be wearing a Torquay shirt that afternoon.

Shambles of a team at the moment.

Which team in this league is going to want to be the first to lose to us? None! If it's big Ronnie taking over surely not only will he be there this afternoon but also lining up some fit for purpose new players - and I do mean fit!

Only just realized there are games on today! Doh. Woking are struggling of late and playing struggling sides doesn't seem to bring the best results for Torquay but I'll go for the players to look themselves in the mirror, find some self respect and earn a 2-1 win to kick start the season.

Keating to score 1-1 draw.

The guy is a wind up merchant and a complete tool. So every Saturday at 16.54 he will post a match prediction thread, whereby the score will be 1-1. He will then make remarks that just irritate most. Can't be arsed tbh, just give ray the freedom of the forum and that other one which is arrharche, because like the club this forum is of late a joke,

Do as I do, Lucyx2. It's not easy, but just scroll down past posts by Ray and the Village Idiot. Strangely, Ray does not respond to posts about Barrow. I asked (a) what was the extent of David Fitzpatrick's injury and (b) why did he think Paul Cox has left Barrow? He did not reply to either. I have also learnt not to respond to Merse's acerbic posts, except when he posts downright untruths as he did after the Solihull games when he insinuated that players were feigning injury so they wouldn't be picked to play at Woking. Fortunately, there are far more reasonable and sensible posters on here than the few that irritate

..... but i know what you mean!

With only 15 fit players (that apparently includes Anderson) the squad could have gone in a mini-bus today.
Talk about a shambles.
Where's our next manager?

We should have a sweepstake running on who plays left back. If it is Anderson (should he even be fit) then Klukowski will have to partner McGinty meaning Young is our only fit central mid (other than Mitchell!).
Make no mistake we are right in the shit today with our current form and the fact we cannot even put an 11 together who are able to play positions which are not foreign to them nor fill our subs bench. Just 16 players in the squad which includes 3 keepers (should Clarke make it which seems massively unlikely ) 5 strikers, an unfit Anderson and a child of a man who has never played senior professional football.
We will be absolutely smashed today.

Decided, for some strange reason, to jump in with the parents and go today - I wasn't even drunk or on drugs when I agreed to it either!

Supposed to be at home painting the lounge, which watching us, will coincidently be like watching paint dry so technically I will be doing some decorating of sorts

God knows what our formation is today - Chaney and Lathrope are missing, so we have 4 strikers plus Gosling on the pitch. Someone must be playing in a new position or else it's 4-2-4.

Bench is Osborn, Reid, Haworth, Mitchell. A goalkeeper, two non-contract players and Jamie Reid - with Fallon as well, we have 10 contracted outfield players competing for 10 places.

Well Anderson at left back means Woking will at least have lots of fun attacking down that right side!

Horrific!!
