It's never been much different and maybe these days it's more difficult with social media and media in general especially high profiles players. Couldn't imagine Brian clough putting up with nonsense especially social media postings and players getting the hump over not being picked.

If Solihull and Hartlepool get midweek wins, I suspect it will be irrelevant. If not already. Hartlepool's trust and fans are working hard to ensure their takeover happens before administration, so we need to outpoint them. No thinking about points deductions. Not that I was.

If he gets us out of this, I will change my mind on him. As it is a massive task. I don't think he will.

The system (3-5-2) has, on occasions, worked quite well away from home I suppose - but you only have to look at our home record to realise that it just hasn’t at Plainmoor! For all the industry of the wing backs they never seem to come to much, Davis in particular, how many times do his surges down the wing, or crosses into the box lead to anything? I cant even remember him coming up with an assist all season! Probably has, but I cant remember it!

Up to that point they had been nothing short of a disaster and i doubt they could have had many complaints about fans beginning to doubt them. Although the jury is still out about them for me, both in terms of long term availability (not having yet signed contracts) as well as their ability to not just keep Torquay in the league but to raise the bar regarding expectations, i think these past few games have given the club and the fans renewed hope that all is not lost.

Even though technically they have simply been doing the job they are paid to do these past few games, i think that given it's the festive season and goodwill to all men then we can give them great credit for keeping the club within touching distance of safety still.

Bar Dover and Hartlepool away, from the beginning of March the run in is really favourable so if the club are still in there pitching over Xmas and into the New Year then the prospects for survival would look really good. If the club can pull themselves out of the bottom 4 during this time then fantastic but the key thing is not to start getting cut adrift again as a win for the clubs above in the next game or so and the gap could be 9 points ish again.

Just wanted to come and congratulate Owers & Kuhl for the last months or so work. I had told them to piss off a few months back and with justification i believed. One win against knackered part timers who had been stuck on a coach for hours wasn't acceptable in terms of their start to employment at the football club but now they look like they are earning their corn so fair play.
