Torquay thread

TBH its a game that the result could have gone either way, only 2 weeks left on the original loan spell of Kayode (anyone know if we are getting an extension on that loan)
 
Was a good game i thought, 2 sides wanting it was nice to see. My thoughts on Div 2 this season, There is NO stand out side. Think anyone can beat anyone on there day, What i have seen of us this season there aint many better than us,if any.Of course the doom mongers are as blind as Ray Charles.:rolleyes:

A fine team performance gave us a deserved win with every man jack working his socks off and really playing for each other. Really difficult to pick a man of the match but you can't argue with the sponsor's choice of Mingioia. He was terrific, terrorising the Torquay defence down the left and producing some amazing dribbles and superb crosses. He has really blossomed with getting an extended run in the side, and it was great to see us getting joy down both flanks.
I have to say Joyce and Murphy really impressed me today for the very first time. Keep it up, boys!
Torquay played some nice stuff and to be honest they could have snatched a draw or even in win near the end if they had been steadier in front of goal.

Cheers RR - The usual honest, frank, unbiased match report for us exiles. Expect nothing else from a fellow bottom-ender. :D
 
For me.....a good honest and reasonably solid performance. Hit early with a sucker punch ( albeit a cracking finish ) against the run of play, but showed more than enough resilience and character to grind out a win.:D

Don't get me wrong....I'm not getting giddy with seven unbeaten, but for me at least, in recent weeks and since the upturn in form and fortunes, we've shown enough to suggest that we'll be able to put the worry beads away a long time before the season comes to it's business end.:o

The lads are beginning to really tick. Early doors..... before the sucker punch, I don't think Torquay could live with our pace and movement. With no cup distractions and a few more positive results, this team could really make a concerted drive to get into the upper reaches of League 2.:)

That said, all it takes is a couple of defeats and we're looking over our shoulders again.....although it's wonderful to be now looking down at a few rather than up at the rest !!!:o

Big Odejayi is a wonderful and powerful focal point, Bowerman looks like a reasonable foil, at times we can move the ball around quickly and get the ball wide and get in behind full backs.:D

Plenty of reasons for optimism and to look forward to the rest of this season.:D

One personal wish.....James Beattie..... get on the phone to Peter Taylor at Gillingham and persuade him to let Linganzi come back North.... either on loan or permanently......

With a powerful player like him in midfield we could really kick on up the league !:D

No problem, Smobile. Aye, they don't come much more bottom-ender than me. Living only two or three hundred yards from the Great Harwood boundary fence I hasten to add, just in case nobody gets the wrong idea!
 
Yes, I agree with earlier comments... a good all round performance. New attitude was typified by George Bowerman's willingness to chase a totally lost cause up the left touchline to win the throw in that led to our first goal. Pierro and "Lids" also had great combative games working their socks off. In fact all the team played really well.Two most pleasing aspects for me were Murphy's great run to get to the crucial position on the goal line, from which the pull back takes the opposing keeper and centre halves out of the move. The second was the much improved performance by Luke Joyce. He played a true captain's match, continuously harrasing opponents and tackling higher up the pitch.
Well done lads!
ON STANLEY ON:alright:
