The team deserved a point ultimately. They did play with effort and passion The 441 with Tom on, had good shape and they dominated Welling to be fair, even with 10 men. Just not good enough in front of goal. McGavin, hold your hand up for that woeful track back that allowed their shot, that yes, Hal...

We seem totally incapable of creating a chance
and making the goalkeeper make a serious save.

Arkell Jude Boyd - linked up well with Stobbs in attack. The latters delivery was poor Will JD- Plenty of effort supporting Dwazza especially in first half D Ofori A - Had plenty to do by himself drew the attention of Welling defence and made a few openings but missed a big chance Tom - Did his Tom ...

Hampton & Richmond are a very good side at this level and beat us at a canter earlier in the season when we were “good”. Ben Seymour, (Exeter, Plymouth Parkway, Bideford) their striker, was excellent and I worry for our defence with him on form. He was signed by Mel Gwinnett (Exeter) who dragged...

A reminder for anyone travelling that the M25 is closed east of the M3 junction this weekend. The diversion will add a lot of time to journeys - as will alternative routes from Torquay. Just another reminder. The roads will be horrific past Basingstoke, maybe before. If you’re travelling up you nee...

Think Weymouth were encouraging fans to have a drink in their clubhouse to keep funds in football and maybe going some way to paying back those fivers Weymouth are giving our club.

That line up looks like we’re playing for the 0-0.
Fair enough under the circumstances.

Mel Gwinnett & Ben Seymour from Hampton please.

Problem is all the players have something to give but they’re not the full package. Asa used to be, Mox used to be but the rest are playing here for a reason. Mc gavin is Jan Molby 25% of time. Jarvis is Giroud 25% of the time. As has been said a few 50% loans are needed fast. Currently at England v...

Halstead - Kept us in it
Brad Ash - Two well taken goals. Chased all afternoon

The rest. Nah.

So, we nicked that with two good goals. Total was four shots, two were on target and both scored. Think they had 13 or 14, and will be wondering how they didn’t beat us. Don’t let the result fool you into the fact we are papering over the cracks.

Slough nine shots Torquay nil.
Halstead 4 or 5 goal savers.
Super crap. Hoof, rush, ping, chuff all.
Whole football style needs root and branch change.
And yes, Gary, you are the root.

It was a case of the press working in first half. Couldn’t keep that level up in second. The 90 minute boys were spent. Is that sustainable?

I agree Desperado, just knowing what to do will help out when we are on the back foot. What concerned me on Saturday was that he struggled to get round his marker who looked to be struggling with fitness in the last 15/20 mins. He didn't seem as interested in getting involved as I would have expect...

If you had said that the Dover team had been recruited from the parks of South London on Friday afternoon it would not have been unkind after their shell shocked first twenty minutes. We should have been three up, it could have been more. Good, one touch triangles, Collins looking nippy, Ash running...
