Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Thought I was getting one over on the BBC there but as soon as Radio Devon handed over to their herberts at the match they cut me off... damn it! Live text it is then. Come on you reds.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

:) Any coverage anyone? just text on bbcsport i've found:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

come on stanley this is a "Big" result today in the scheme of things.:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

:(Torquay seem to be having the brighter start

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

YELLOW for Phil.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

There's a sports show on Palm FM at Saturday Sport.

There was a visit to Plainmoor before the match but, since then, there have only been updates from other matches although I'm guessing that they might have an update on Torquay and Accy if someone scores.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Notts County have just gone 1-0 against Hereford. If it stays like that we won't make the play-offs today! :(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Half time 0-0

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

0-0 half time come on reds.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

0-0 Half time, let's just hope it gets better second half, like last weekend!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Palm FM's 10-minute late HT report reckons Accy are the better side. And the pitch is cutting up badly...

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

1-0 torquay.:(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

0-1, 50 mins.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Blast

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Not amused :( typical

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Slight relief in Burton going one down to an Alf goal.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

If we are serious, this is the type of match we must win!!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

county just gone 2 up come on reds:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

what i was infering in post 12.:eek: just hope this don't bite our asses today, come on the reds.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Would like to see some subs coming on to change it!! Looking at the stats, we are not doing much!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

59:10 'Chris Turner joins the action as a substitute, replacing Luke Joyce'

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Just come in from being dragged round the shops. Some live text here but there seems to be a timelag but the page gives other current scores and a live table

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

That is a good, attacking move!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Proccy & Jimmy are going to have to work extra hard to win the ball now Joycey's gone off. No headless chicken acts please, Proc. Good luck Chris, make it count fella :)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Looks like Chris is in the action aready!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

just said on lancs, stanley have improved, lets hope it counts.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I'm sick of this Blackpool game...

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

1-1 symes made by turner.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I've just made a tenner on that Symes goal :D

Well done Chris Turner!!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

And he gets the ball and he......

Re: Torquay utd match thread

Re: Torquay utd match thread

Re: Torquay utd match thread

Re: Torquay utd match thread

Re: Torquay utd match thread

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

He plays on the left, he plays on the righhtt, that boy......

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Great stuff to have turner back he makes such a difference:D still waiting for beeb to update scoreline lol

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

From Sporting life website:- 70 Mins - Accrington Stanley just have the edge. Key player: Chris Turner!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

why am i not suprised.:D

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Cheltenham have equalised against Northampton :)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Cheltenham have just done us a favour and equalised at Northampton.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I am only surprised that he is a) on the pitch, b) with more than 7 mins to play!!!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

C'mon we want 3 points here

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Push on, well done Chris I know a few people who will be gutted they are not there but will be ecstatic that he has got on and shown once again not that we need reminding of what he can do:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

About time, we scored a 90th min winner!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Hoping I misheard it or he got it wrong, but the consensus here is that the fella on the Radio Lancs just said 2-1 to Torquay :(

Full Time also :(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

heard it.:(:(:(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Kempson OG

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

2-1 Kempson og

I'll bet that Coley's pleased with that! :(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

*&^%$!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Kempo OG!!!!!! 2-1, just cannot believe this!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Don't believe it

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Accy down to 12th unless Burton grab a late goal

5 points off play offs

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

When is Kempson going to get sold/benched whatever. He always screws it up. He cost us the game against Fulham, regularly gets into trouble with the ref and now this. Useless.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Another Kempson own goal... some managers would give him a rest, unfortunately we don't have that luxury at the moment. Seems a shame as apparently he'd played well up 'til that point.

Really should be winning games like that. The money I took on Symes' goal is bittersweet and I see no other option but to drink it tonight.

Safe journey home red men.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

poor kempo!! He's just not getting any luck at the minute, and he's probably gonna be getting a blasting in the dressing room right now with the rest of the lads for lettling it slip.

Gutted!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Not wanting to be rude here but, do you even watch stanley?:confused::eek::confused:

Yes Kempo was at fault for the Fulham sending off and has rightly appologised, but as for him 'always screwing it up' I think that is massively unfair on the lad. :mad: Yes he's scored a couple of OGs recently but tha can happen to anyone and certainly doesn't happen on purpose. :(

Darren has give his all all season and for the most part has been hugely consistant and his partnership with Phil as led to some of the most solid defensive performances I've seen from a Stanley team in years. :)

Take your frustrations out on someone else fella!!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Do not think you have a clue what you are talking about matey, Kempo was by far and away Man of the Match, last week against Bradford, maybe you must not have been there!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Totally agree the whole back line is always on edge when a certain Mr Dunbavin is in goal IMHO

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Yes I was there thanks and I stand by my opinion although I respect that others may not agree. Just call it as I see it.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

you should have gone to SpecSavers.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Fair play then, but I think that "Always screwing up" is O.T.T. :rolleyes: :) :)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Darren has been a brick for us this season (another example of the Coley magic) and he is a nice lad as well, I am sure Darren will be gutted but these things do happen anyway it,s history now we need to look forward to our next game and hopefully 3 points.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Nobody epitimises the spirit of Stanley better than G.I. Kempson the lad would run through brick walls for the cause.

Another late goal is not good, I was not there so difficult to judge but you play till the final whistle.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I thought the Reds were really disappointing today. We were disorganised and second to the ball far too frequently. The defence was stretched too often and we made little progress with long balls out of defence. The much-maligned Bavs made a couple of great saves.

The real positive was Chris Turner's arrival. He had the beating of his full-back every time and in the short time he was on, he made a series of dangerous crosses. Michael Symes scored from the first of these. Prior to Turner's arrival, we were pedestrian and lacking in ideas.

I think we are going to have to settle for a place in the top half of the table at the end of the season. I hope I'm wrong, and we do make the play-offs. But we have lost too many points against teams we should have beaten.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

ffs! This is the worst season ever. Grimsby are going to be relegated and Accy aren't going to hit the play offs :(

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I think we'll make it to the play offs and give it our best shot; but I'm not sure we'll go up. I'm sorry about Grimsby, don't like to see any club go down. Stay true you will get another shot at it.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

still think we are capable of the playoffs, most of remainder are home games, if home record this season can be maintained can see no reason why not, huge disapointment today, was not at torquay but think a bit OTT about Kempson.:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

All i can say is Chris Turner, he changed the game for us today, came one and gave us something we was asking for all game, width and crosses into the box, he came on and within 2mins he had a cross into symes who barely missed than on his second cross symes scores, surely this has to make him start next game with miles rest! not much can say about the game, really gutted about the loss, we played well with the ball on the ground, ryan looked to pick up a knock in second half aswell as edwards, and how thay torquay player stayed on the pitch when i he hacked/chopped/crushed turners legs away il never know. If we had started with turner we would of won, he was doing what his song says, making defenders look S**** quality

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Have been pulling me hair out wondering why Turner aint had a run, hope yer right MCR n he gets one now.:);)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Everyone in the stand today, said when turner came on he changed the game, they just could not handle his runs down the wings, and his crosses in the box where inch perfect, i also wish that when we have a cornor we cross it into the box instead of short passes, twice we had a cornor and we did short passes which ended with the ball on the halfway line.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Just got in. disappointed we lost. great support from the ultras. We we werent up for it in the first half. Big difference when Turner came on, we played with more passion and the boy surely should start games with his obvious skill running at players and supplying balls into the box. Breath of fresh air. Perhaps could have put on another sub later on Miles looked tired. Long long day Bed for me.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I Like the sound of this. I've been chippin in my mate's ear for the last I don't know how long that we need more width. Bring it on . A match fit Turner will be like a new signing just in time for the run in. 'Wheels Off' - no way , this is the best season yet :):)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I don't doubt than anybody who has ever seen Chris play will disagree that the lad is a natural talent in my eyes probably the best that has come through the ranks at the Club.

Natural crowd pleaser who can turn full backs inside out, create crosses & chances whilst also forcing defenders to give away set pieces in dangerous positions.

Now Coley does have a dilema width & natural balance or stick with what he has?

That's a nice dilema to have:)

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Unfortunately I dont feel the management will agree. They dont appear to like too much change.
Hope you are right though. I like the excitement of a challenge and I too still feel that the play offs are not yet out of reach if there are slight changes and we play to our strengths.
Tough game saturday though.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Don't put the blame on Bav's either, neither goal his fault and I was there. Bav's has been playing well of late, in fact if you must blame anybody, blame the officials, because both goals were offside and not flagged. Chris Turner nearly had his leg broken and yet it is only a yellow card not a straight red which it should have been due to the dangerousness of the tackle. Fould committed by Torquay left unpunished. No don't blame players, blame officials, trouble is, they are all as bad in League 2, 1, championship and premiership, must be coz Fergie et al say so.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Well having just got back from a superb weekend here are my views on the game.

Was generally disappointing, and to be honest we didnt deserve to win. 2 Bright notes from the game are without doubt Turner, who was simply brilliant when he came on, he changed the game simple as that. Running at defenders, could have had a penalty and sent in a magnificent ball in for Symes's goal. HE MUST be in the starting XI against Notts County simple as.

Was really pleased for Symes scoring aswell, he had his best game in weeks.

However we cant hide the fact YET AGAIN Miles was woeful. I really need to know what he had contributed this season apart from last Saturday for 10 minutes and the FA Cup against Gillingham????? I quote a relatively new stanley supporter from the stanley end who has watched Liverpool for 28 years...... "Whoever number 7 is playing on the left wing is without doubt the laziest player ive ever seen and stanley are carrying him"

I rest my case there im afraid.

As for the rest of the side....

Bavs, Made a great save in the 1st half but how many late goals have we conceded with Bouza between the sticks??? None!!!

Lees, Decent game nothing special
Winnard, See Above
Edwards, Good game again, very composed.
Kempson, Sorry to say looked quite poor, and yet another OG :(, thats 3 BAD mistakes, maybe its time to give Flynn a chance on Saturday if hes back from Ireland???

Ryan, Worked his socks off as always
Joyce, Massively disappointed to be subbed and rightly so when we have that clown on the wing.
Proccy, Drifted in and out of the game again
Miles, Yet Again, VERY poor in my opinion. Lazy and did nothing for 90 minutes and cant even beat the 1st man on corners so why is he taking them??????

Symes, Great goal and had his best game for weeks
Grant, Busy as normal, should have scored, but was always in the action.


Subs

Turner, Simply brilliant for half an hour, genuine wide quality, brillaint ball in for Symes's goal and could have had a penalty, MUST be in against Notts County, simple as!!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Turner was crap
Miles I thought was good
Crap stewarding
unfriendly people in a dump of a town
crap pubs and poor beer
no atmosphere at all in the pubs or the ground
a thoroughly enjoyable 7 hour coach journey

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

god i love u mate lol :D

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

he forgot about the over flowing breakfast plate!

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Is it opposite day in Bikini Bottom, Macca??? :rolleyes: :D

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

no, just crap weekend bud :cool:

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

cant think why it was crap ok we lost but we all still enjoyed it didnt we

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

its a windup katei lol

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

oh never! it was a tongue in cheek comment

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

I am of the opinion that a backline is only as good as its keeper. If the backline has no confidence in its keeper silly goals will always be conceeded. Bavs may be a good shot stopper, however it is quite evident his backline has no confidence in him. We will keep on conceeding silly goals.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

His lack of command of his area and player's reluctance to back pass when under pressure.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Redder, don't know if you were at the Torquay match, but I saw quite a number of backpasses to Bav's some of which were a bit dodgy due to the proximity of Torquay players, yet he dealt with every one commendably. Sorry mate, you must be watching the wrong team.

Re: Torquay utd match thread
 

Not talking about one game Ozzy. I am nervous about our next few games. If we don't notch up a few wins, all the good work the team has achieved to date will be wasted. For me, a play off place is a must. Not sure Bavs is the right one to get us to the play offs.
We won't have to wait too long to find out.
