A good win, but our defence struggled in the last ten minutes. I hope Grants injury is not serious,he was man of the match

Re: Torquay match thread
 

The word I got about that was that he was stamped on by the guy who scored Torquay's 2nd goal. The ref gave nothing.

Re: Torquay match thread
 

It wasn't a stamp just a sliding tackle, two footed but just poor rather than malicious and grant went in for it as well so can have no complaints.

Good performance and a win despite best efforts to throw it away at the end - why no Kempson and Lees ? Feel with them on the pitch it would have been 4-0.

Also their number 33 was a cracking player his run for their second was like a hot knife through butter.

Cheers for that SPARKIE..I'll leave the stats to the statitions...

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Thought it was a good display all round, Flynn on his debut, Winnard, Ryan,Grant, any of those would have done me fer man of match,closely followed by others, was nice to meet Clayton Red at half time, only disapointment fer me was the gate.:confused:

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Well just got back.
Very entertaining game. But my god we dont make it easy for ourselves, it could have been 4-4 by the end.

Grant/ Symes/ Kee just ran riot in the 2nd half. Think Grant just looked knackered to be honest by the end, so probably good news that he got subbed.

Tom Leeds was injured, he wasnt even on the bench. As for Kempson he was on the bench for some bizarre reason, ?????


Oh well roll on Barnet on Tuesday :)

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Is'nt Kemp on 4 yellows and if he had played and got booked he would have mist tuesdays FA cup replay at barnet:) played safe as flynn is cup tied having played for chester in the cup.

Re: Torquay match thread
 

ahhh well pointed out mab.

Hopefully he will be back in against Barnet

Re: Torquay match thread
 

For the second time in a row can someone enlighten me re. Torquay's penalty, as I couldn't see any infringement from the Clayton End?
At times our passing and movement was brilliant, and on the whole the defence was great. However, I agree that Torquay could have scored 2 or 3 when they had a go in the last quarter and the ref. definitely missed a good shout for a handball penalty to them. Having said that, we always looked like we could go down the other end and wrap it up if need be. I thought Bobby Grant had his best game for us when playing out wide, but the whole team were on top of their game today and it was thrilling to watch them go all-out on attack for the whole game. God, what more do they have to do to bring the crowds rolling back?

Re: Torquay match thread
 

I agree Redraine, some of our attacking football in the 2nd half was brilliant to watch.

As for their penalty, it was another VERY soft 1 :(, oh well i couldent care we won :)

Re: Torquay match thread
 

none of us could see what the Torquay penalty was for?:confused: be interesting to see the highlights, defo looked a soft un, but it evened out fer me, thought the handball near the end was one.:)

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Spoke to DO'N before match and Kempo was on bench because of yellows, plus they wanted to give Flynn his debut. Lees was injured against Barnet.

Both pens were soft, but at least this time it did not cost us, still thinking about Proccys header, why not hit it??? Still great to see it trickle over the line... :) :) :)

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Also thought our new keeper, "Boozer" :D had a good game. Much more calm and composed than Dunbavin. Hope we can keep him til the end of the season.

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Good point, Redraine. We were talking about that this afternoon. It's been said on here enough times that if Stanley produce a winning team playing attractive football, the gates will start to rise. Well, we have...but they're not! Are we actually going to have to go round every pub in town and drag the apathetic sods out by the scruffs of their necks?? :rolleyes:

Re: Torquay match thread
 

Thought all the pubs had closed down :)

Would imagine the gates will creep up when play off position is reached.
