| austrianandygull posted Today, 22:21 |
| Howe has really struggled for form since his return and Tai is not prolific enough for us to sustain an automatic push. My concern long before the Bradford game was that on occasions we needed more than a goal to win the game and without a regular goalscorer, our luck ran out on saturday. I don't quite understand why Ling hasn't chucked Nathan Craig into the thick of it, with our small squad and severely limited attack we may as well see what he can offer us. I hope Gullscorer is right and we have a new face or two shortly otherwise it's game over for the top three. I don't say that in a condemning manner but a realistic one. The firepower and resources of Swindon and Crawley will see them promoted and it's us or Shrewsbury, Cheltenham and Southend for the other IMO. As well as we have done, as it is we've no chance which is a crying shame because we have got into such an amazing and promising position totally unexpectedly and for our 'push' to fizzle out now would be such heartbreak. The play offs should be a certainty unless we have a massive collapse in form and that would be a superhuman achievement from Martin and the lads. We have shown that we can bounce back from defeat after a good run and go on another good run ( Accy away loss ) so i'm hoping the Bradford game fits this criteria but another defeat on saturday will have a few of us on edge no doubt. If it is to be another defeat then please don't come on here afterwards saying we were crap and Ling got things wrong! With the job he has done this season he could lose the next five and still be the King ( so long as we still get in the play offs!) :scarf: |

I popped up to the ground today and they've cracked on with the stand quite a bit. The small section that we all saw on saturday now has the concrete rows in, giving us a greater sense of scale, especially with the family stand to compare to.

| I've always been happy to credit Colin Lee for the good things he brings to a football club, unfortunately in my opinion the bad far outweighs the good. He was just as much to blame as Buckle for the way their relationship worked out and he was probably a lot more culpable when it came to how he treated the Directors at the Club. Colin Lee is all about Colin Lee, if the club suffers as a result it's of no consequence to him, good riddance as far as I'm concerned.
In truth we probably aren't a big enough club to get the best out of someone like him and I think the Directors weren't strong enough to deal with his faults. |

Hmm.. shurely shome mishtake? I'm a librarian at Oxford University, never read the Sun in my life, have a Ph.D and a good line in irony and wouldn't even know how to start a conversation with the said Mr. Barlow. :slap: The point of the original post was "wouldn't it be funny IF the moaners started to put a bandwagon together from their Lego kits?"

Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning dissimulation or feigned ignorance)is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions. There is presently no accepted method for textually indicating irony, though an irony (punctuation) mark has been proposed.
Ironic statements (verbal irony) are statements such as "thank god I'm an atheist." They typically imply a meaning in opposition to their literal meaning. A situation is often said to be ironic (situational irony) if the actions taken have an effect exactly opposite from what was intended. The discordance of verbal irony may be deliberately created as a means of communication (as in art or rhetoric). Descriptions or depictions of situational ironies, whether in fiction or in non-fiction, serve a communicative function of sharpening or highlighting certain discordant features of reality. Verbal and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth. The ironic form of simile, used in sarcasm, and some forms of litotes emphasize one's meaning by the deliberate use of language which states the opposite of the truth — or drastically and obviously understates a factual connection. |

| That pretty much how I saw the game bobby93, in fact after about 15 minutes gave watching it , however went to the bowl match at Buckland last year which ended in a 2.1 defeat.I was highly critical of Mark Ellis who played in that game, I thought after he displyed should a poor attitude to that game, we would never see him in the first 11 again, and formed the opinion which I shared in private with a few, that our then manager should give Lathrope away to the nearest S.D.L club.
How wrong was I on both counts, Ellis has come back better and stronger, and Lathrope is up there with the most improved players at the club, to the point that many see his current injury as a real blow, so I am ging try and not be to over critical this time, however I can't let it pass with talking about the one biggest diss-appointment from last nights game.
Which was Saul Halpin, whats happened there? Anyone know, this time last year he looked hungry full of confidence, last night there was just no spark what so ever from the lad. |
| Re: BucklandAthletic v Torquay United |
| CP Gull posted Today, 09:39 |
| Well that was an "interesting" night of football. Have to say how well I thought Buckland played, we just about lived with them in a pretty even first half but they cranked it up in the second half and were by far the better side. We did attempt something of a fightback in the last 10-15 minutes (with 10 men) as you might expect but in reality I can't really remember their keeper having a proper save to make. Most of our efforts came from Macklin and most of them ended up fizzing over the bar or just wide.
As for LRT, it was a stupid challenge, clearly born out of frustration at being 3-0 down. He might have got away with a yellow for the challenge though but didn't help his cause by then getting "involved" with an exchange of words with the stricken Buckland player which inevitably (sadly) led to a rush of players from both sides getting involved in a few handbags.
He (LRT) is fortunate that his 3 game bad (which I assume he will get as it was a straight red) only counts towards RESERVE team football and so he will be eligible for our upcoming first team games. If you remember the same thing happened last year at Buckland, when Damon Lathrope saw red (2 yellows) late on - he missed one reserve team game as a result. I think the FA have "downgraded" the Devon Bowl to reserve team status in recent years as let's face it that is all that the 3 Devon pro teams turn out in the competition. Mind you, on the other side of the coin, it would have been handy if Rene Howe could have served out one of his FOUR game ban in this competition , but in just the same way as this (type of) match wouldn't have counted, then the same will apply to LRT.
As for LRT, well with no more qualifying competitive Reserve Team fixtures remaining this season it will mean he will have to serve his 3 match ban at the beginning of next season - whether he will serve them at TUFC remains to be seen.
As for our team, it really was men against boys at times. Quite simply, although we looked good with the ball at times, we were nowhere near as effective without it as Buckland. We really lacked a strong spine to the team and too many of our players seemed to lack strength and aggression (not in an LRT sort of way though :red: ). The reality is I suppose is that we had a team stuffed full with wingers (Macklin, Halpin, Thompson) and ball playing midfielders (Craig, Kewell) and as for Yeoman I just don't know what his best position is, does he even? He really didn't look convincing as a striker last night which was disappointing given his decent little cameo performance against Bradford on Saturday.
We really do seem to have a desperate need for greater strength in depth in the strikers and combative midfielders department, not just in the first team but in the whole squad. Unfortunately I came away from the game with my thoughts on the strength of the sqaud pretty much unchanged (having already seen quite a few reserve/friendly games this season) namely that beyond our first 12 or 13 there really isn't too much to shout about and aside from thosed that are already contracted for next season (Macklin, Halpin, Leadbitter and to give him his full name "Following a mistake by Martin Rice") I would seriously doubt question as to how many will still be here with us next season and even of those that are under contract for next year I think perhaps only Macklin now is showing enough of what it takes to "make it" in the game and even he (still) needs to work on his end product - to be fair to him though he had perhaps three or four decent efforts on (but actually off!) goal last night and from memory he pretty much created his own chances by running at pace and skill at their defence - frustratingly though it invariably ended up with him blasting well over the bar!
Nice to meet up with Forever and the rest of the "boys" - what a great set up they have at Buckland these days too. In fact, with the quality of football on show I might even be tempted to go and watch the odd game down there from now on, if the opportunity arises as it's only 3 miles down the road for me - only on days when TUFC aren't involved though, of course. :scarf: |

| It was a dissapointing evening for me. Not because we lost, but because there was not one player without first team experience who looked good enough to get in Buckland's team, yet alone the first team. The same could be said for the match at Willand.
In previous seasons we have had the likes of Yeoman, Halpin, Spear etc all looking "head and shoulders" above the rest of the team in Devon cup matches, this year there really is no-one who either looks like they have the ability, or, sadly, the attitude, to make it in league football.
"Academys" (I use that term loosely) have always, in reality focused on the one or two players who shine and just hope the rest of the squad is good enough to support their progress into first team football.....if we do eventually find another bright star, we are going to need a much better team around them in the future.
As for the sending off, well one of the most exciting prospects at the club let himself down badly, he could well get a 3 match ban, so the pressure is now on Nico to stay fit for the rest of the month and see the 90 minutes through. |

| I think last nights results were about as good as we could expect. We're still 11 points clear of 8th with games running out. My only concern is that we seem to have played a lot more home games than some of our rivals (17) while fewer away fixtures. This bias will play itself out and will give us a more accurate idea of where we'll end up. We need to take maybe 15+ more points to get a playoff place. I think we'll make it but it's going to be tough. |

| Several important games last night...
In the race for automatic, results went our way with Cheltenham only managing a point at home to Wimbledon and Southend losing at Aldershot leaving them 4 and 3 points above us respectively but having played a game more. Swindon came from behind to beat Shrewsbury which is also positive as I suspect Swindon will go on to win the league.
In the race for the playoffs Oxford extended the gap between 7th and 8th with a 2-1 against Barnet. Gillingham and Rotherham played out a goalless draw while Crewe took advantage and on form look to be the likeliest challengers for a playoff spot - however they remain 11 points behind the gulls.
In other news Barnett left Crawley for Peterborough meaning Crawley have lose both top scorers in the window. |

And I thought Rice was dreadful practically dropping the ball into his own net for the second. If he gets anywhere near the first team we are seriously doomed to failiure.

Was Expecting to see our team take control of this game, however we never did, Buckland played with a lot spirit and deserved to win, if I remember right our team was already 2.0 down when LRT was sent off, frustrating to think we had enough first team squad players out there, who like last season did not really show any thing, apart from Macklin who made a few positive runs, but lacked a finish, yes its only the Devon Bowl, however one or two players out there you expect to use this game to stake a claim for the starting 11, sadly chance missed for a few of them.
Nice to see CP gull, saw Alex up in stands, enjoyed having a laugh with a few faces I knew, good evening out.
EDIT, forgot to mention, first time I had seen Nathan Craig play, yes you can see why Martin Ling is having a closer look at this lad, as reports suggest, has a sweet left foot, however on that evidence, would say he was a long way off the first team. |

| Not much of a game changer, only has moments! So 15 goals a season when not even playing most of those games that season is "only has moments" or "not much of a game changer"? When he was here for us and was actually given the ball he nearly always looked dangerous and sh1t the opposition up, sometimes when your on the wing you don`t get the ball as often as you would like depending on how the game is panning out. When given a supply Jake more often than not did rather well in my opinion, what you have to remember is that he was here under Buckle and quite often the game plan didn`t suit Jakes strengths, you all saw what happened when it did suit his strengths! For example Billy Key, the winger, left us to go and play in a situation that suited his strenths and was bangin` `em in for fun, sometimes it ain`t just the player that the focus should be on but the manager, the formation and the game plan. Sometimes when evaluating a situation you really should take into account ALL of the influencing factors and not just single one aspect out!
The fact that he was being played by Buckle so it somehow hindered his performance is irrelevant in my opinion. This season, under some well-paid and respected managers at Northampton he has failed to score at all. Is that simply because the team isn't playing to his strengths? It's wrong for any one player to dictate how a whole team should play their game. Unless, maybe Messi fancied a stint in League Two and then a manager would obviously change his system to get the ball to him. Unfortunately, Robinson isn't good enough to decide how the team should play and is much to inconsistant.
Where I can agree with you is that he did look dangerous. But that, i think, is what frustrates me the most about him. He tended to get into good positions and although sometimes he picked the right ball or made the right decision, more often than not, in my opinion, he flattered to decieve. He is so close to being so good, which is probably why i have been harsh on him.
Until he can turn it on consistantly he will remain a bog standard League Two winger for me. |

| They say that wearing bright colours make it psychologically harder for the other team to score as the bright colour apparently puts the striker off! |

| I really don't think it's that difficult to understand, it's a sarcastic dig at the whingers and moaners who didn't complain when we're on a good run but as soon as we lose one game, we're the worst team in the world. Otherwise known as 'morons'.
I really don't understand this pathetic attempt to drive a wedge between supporters. I've not seen any negative posts, why would there be? Who's suggested we're the worst team in the world?......erm.....no-one. As I said.....dumb.
You really have not got a sense of humour have you? |
| Bobby's orange kit |
| Wisconsin_gull posted Yesterday, 16:57 |
| Maybe it's just me, but every time I see Bobby in the orange kit on the player I can't help but be impressed. :bow:
He looks great in that colour, makes him look even bigger and even more authoratative - certainly more so than the previous Bevan Red.
Wonder how important the goalie's kit color really is, all I know is we have our best keeper for years wearing orange and its working just fine! :scarf:
Any one out there with any colour theory to share?
What is the worst colour kit for keepers (we have a few ex keepers on here who will have first hand experience)? |

Thanks AlexGulls, I was looking at parking at the railway station. Hopefully I'll be there early enough to find a space. |

| Elite Player Performance Plan |
| Gullscorer posted Yesterday, 12:15 |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Player_Performance_Plan
This takes effect from the 2012/13 season. Any lower league club with a youth development scheme will be affected, depending on how much they can afford to spend on developing their home-grown talent, and thus which category they will apply for under the new scheme. On the face of it, the advantages of the scheme are with the Premier League clubs who will be able to sign up local youngsters with minimal compensation for the lower-league club.
What steps should Torquay United be taking to prepare for the new system and to ensure maximum benefit for the Gulls and local young footballing talent?
There's also a discussion about this on Late Kick-off Northwest:

| One I wanted in was gavin tomlin in, wanted him since start of season. Now look at him : (.
I think bolasie would be good, Michael bryant who plays for bournemouth res other week looked decent but tbh would like to see the enigma that is macklin given a decent chance or even niall Thompson on the bench just for his pace and trickery, strong too for someone his age |

| What's all this about Buckle and Athletic..?? Torquay Athletic? Charlton? Oldham?
Technically, Buckland Athletic as holders of the St Lukes bowl can call themselves the best team in Devon,
im sure Torquay will not want to loose to lowly Buckland Athletic again
oh and by the way i have supported TUFC for over 30 years going up with my dad on the popside and standing on the half way line , on the rail.
Thats why i cant loose tonight
COYY, COYB,
Heard Buckland are playing in Blue, as Torquay were not allowed to play in their away Black kit. |
