Torquay Match Thread
« on: October 19, 2022, 12:35:59 PM »

Become a bigger game than it was this time last week. Whether we were better than Gateshead or not they bungled us out of the fa cup 2 years on the bounce. Individual errors, poor team tactics, poor finishing have raised questions of where we're at. In the sh*t imho.

                              Byrne

Barrows.  J. Jones. Cooper.   E. Jones

              Osbourne.     Lundstram

     Hulme.    Conn-Clarke.    Colclough

                       Dinanga

Torquay 2-2 Alty. (Dinanga, Conn-Clarke)

I think the above 11 is good enough to beat a poor Torquay side, but the amount of individual errors we make is killing us.

Good luck to all who travel

I reckon there are 3 or 4 players in that team that need to up their game to win away at Torquay

We need a fit and healthy Colclough back. Hopefully he will be well enough for Saturday.

We’re travelling to watch this so hopefully the lads will put in a decent shift and get 3 points

Which feels odd after we started the season with a back four made up entirely of centre backs...

It tells me we've been unfortunate.

The good news is that Toby says there's no fracture - so hopefully it's just a matter of waiting for the wound to heal.

Given we've beaten two stronger Torquay sides these past two seasons, footballing logic dictates this one will be an abject 2-0 defeat.

I don't make the rules (sorry).

Another big game, not easy, especially with the injuries and defensive frailties we endure. If Ryan can start, that will help. CB's pick themselves unfortunately with Baines and Mullarky likely out. Can see Brad coming in at RB. Maybe Gould in goal.

Hopefully a win, but think it will be 1-1

The number of injuries isn't a coincidence with us going FT, we have become weaker off the pitch with the loss of Tommy and Ryan.

I hope the team travelled down today, the M5 is murder. Full of 1/2 term brats heading south for a week in Devon or cornwall plus the roadworks. We left home at 11-30 am just checked in to our hotel @ 6-30pm. What a f:/: nightmare trip that was, the good thing is the hotel is about a five min walk from the ground.

The boys will lift our spirits with a 3-1 win, Colclough, Hulme & Dinanga.

Weather here is wet and breezy. Just the sort of weather the northerners relish.

3-1 to The Alty

I remember when England tried to crowbar Rooney into every team, even when it didn't make sense to.

I hope we're not making the same mistake with Jordan.

Obviously I'm not sure on Brad Jackson's fitness status but why wouldn't you try to play a team closest to the one that brought you 3 wins in 4 games?

Shocking decision to give Dinanga, someone that struggles given time to think about things, that penalty over Ryan Colclough.

I'll be fuming if that ends up costing us.

Ryan should always take pens, we should have put this game to bed by now
