Torquay match thread

Well done indeed..and correct me if I'm wrong, but excluding the 1-0 win away at Wycombe in the opening match of the 2007/08(?) season, this will be the first time we've been in credit in the goals for /against department..
Good stuff STANLEY

Not quite Kiwi, we were positive after 6 games last season - not since. Last time before that was after the Wycombe game the season before.
 
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
 
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.

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.

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:
 
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 :)
 
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.
 
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?
 
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 :)
