Chippenham Away tickets

I didn't realise online ticket sales for Tuesday closed yesterday and don't live in the bay to get one at the ticket office today. Is anyone going today and Tuesday and would be willing to visit the ticket office before today's game to get me 1 student and 1 child ticket for Chippenham? I'll meet yo...

Notts County v Torquay United 12/10/19 3pm

Our forward passing was poor today, don't think Reid had a touch for first 35 minutes so dropped to halfway where he's not going to threaten. Whitfield kept driving into dead ends out wide and although Kalvin seemed to have the beating of the full back he was too slow with decision making. Think an ...

Corners and Free Kicks

Our set pieces yesterday were terrible, had so many in good positions but only made one chance out of them all game. In fact 2 sailed straight out of play, 1 from Little, 1 Whitfield, must've been so annoying for the centre backs coming all the way up the pitch for that.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

No sour grapes here, just disappointment with our team's performance. Result well deserved. I felt ref was poor in both directions, second half she gave as many dodgy free kicks our way as she gave Moors first half (though her gender is irrelevant, the male linesman was poor also). Hard to argue for...

MOTM - Solihull Moors + Away Estimate

Niate - only defender winning anything Kalala - at least had an impact Hall - blocked a couple shots otherwise it could've been worse That's about as much positivity as i can scrape together. No idea on attendance, had a block of home fans in the middle of the away end (what was that about?) so diff...

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Can't believe in our most successful year we haven't won any of the 3 games I've made it to. One final comment - after hearing a lot about how poor Niate is (including from the bloke behind me after he got booked) I thought he was the only defender winning any balls and trying to fight their big str...

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Glad someone else thought the pen was a dive, report suggested clear foul, will have to see it back. In fairness Andrews won a free kick doing the same thing so can't condone that either. The one positive I'd take is that we could and possibly should have scored 3 despite playing so poorly. Probably...

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

Kalala at least brought some life to the attack, from his build up we had 2 off the line in one attack, one outstanding save and took an awful penalty. Andrews coming on helped balance too.

The short passing was appalling though, so many simple passes out for throw ins. Work needed.

Solihull Moors v Torquay United - Tues 6th August 19:45 KO

We're still in pre season, a lot of simple passes going out, too many a yard off the pace. Solihull have been stronger and more determined than us, their final ball is largely awful but we can't clear it and they've missed 1 if not 2 absolute sitters. Our only chance was Reid off a defensive mistake...

Hall by a mile
Davis made some decent runs

Bath Away jan 19th

Poor performance, only Hall emerges with any credit, Janneh and Andrews poor, Reid and Evans anonymous. Penalty miss was the turning point, knew we wouldn't win after that. Their penalty looked soft and no idea how Janneh missed from under the bar right at the end so should've got a point but the oc...

Torquay United v Maidenhead, Match Day Thread 03/10/17

I fancied checking the Maidenhead perspective, to see if they'd blame it all on their delayed journey, and while they mention their players looking leggy and blame a couple of goals on poor defending they're fairly complimentary of Torquay, suggesting there was no evidence for why they'd taken 14 ga...

Late & Injury time goals

I've been thinking of posting something on this for a while, it's become a running joke with my wife that she now asks whether we conceded in the 92nd or 93rd minute this week. I started working out how many points we dropped last season from goals in the last 10 minutes, but having hardly ever been...
