Who will be the top five teams in National League 2015/16?

Hopefully this season we can limit Braintree to three or four goals.

Captain

I was thinking the same thing about Luke Young. He's still our captain so it would be reassuring if he came out and said 'I'm raring to go, the new boss is great, there's a buzz about the place and I hope I can rediscover my early season form'. Luke Young can make the difference for us if he is happ...

Ajala Turns Contract Down

They're very similar players in a lot of ways. Tricky on the ball, seem to have a lot of dribbling ability, but their final product is frustratingly laughable. The main difference is Ajala's ability and willingness to track back and to win the ball back, which, when he wasn't booked for a bad challe...

Kenny Veysey

Is this good news? Weren't we expecting an ex-international goalkeeper/coach? Who would have been our first choice keeper, whilst training lavercombe. Now we have an extra expense, provided we do actually recruit another keeper and let's hope we do, otherwise veysey is our number 2. Plus this is the...

Have Steve Breed and Deano invested money ?

We've still got a team to support. We have Torquay supporters on the board and in charge. Let's just all be positive for a change and get behind the new changes. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. However at this point, there is absolutely no point in being negative or questioning whether the new ...

Hargreaves, Hodges and Veysey on Gardening leave

I definitely don't feel like apologising to Chris Hargreaves. In fact, I think he should be apologising to us! I'm glad he's gone. Delighted in fact. I will never ever forget losing 5-1 at home to Braintree. Totally unacceptable. Dover doing the double over us, terrible lifeless performances, uninsp...

Paul Cox...

But he's been out of work since November hasn't he?
Being out of work for 7 months can do strange things to a man. In this case, seemingly wanting to manage Torquay United.
I don't think he would be heavily linked with the job if he wasn't seriously considering the post and had been contacted

Takeover 50/50 ?

I signed up for the TUST today. It's £2 a month that we can all afford. I was only the 288th member, which is very surprising.
Even if nothing comes of it, it's still only £2 per month. Worth a go surely.

Boreham Wood/Whitehawk & Chorley/Guiseley

I remember coming home from Uni and taking in the Boreham Wood FA Cup game on the way back. In Paddington at 7am there were some awful guys drinking cans of beer, already drunk. They then got on the same train and after Bristol I realised they were going to the game. Terrible chaps. A few of got kic...

FC Halifax v Torquay

I personally can't wait to see the back of Harding. For me he typifies the general type of player we have at the club at the moment. A player that has seen bigger and better things in higher leagues and has problems motivating themselves on a Tuesday night in Welling. This is my perception of why th...

Six month ban

This is essentially a ban from football because there won't be another club who will take a risk on someone who clearly has mental issues and could do this again.
I'm not sure I want him to hot in hell though.

Retained list

Cameron?
He would genuinely be the first name I would get rid of.
I've never seen such an abject lack of effort from a single player.
When we don't have the ball, it's like playing with 10 men. The only reason he still plays is because Hargreaves doesn't know what he's doing.
