Hemel Hempstead Town v Torquay United, 23rd September 2023
Looking at those highlights blimey we should have won that game. For once Halstead didnt need to make 10 saves to keep us in it. I thought Hemel created very little. Their first goal is unbelievable. Their second the ball broke nicely for them. The third - there are 6 Torquay players behind the bal...

Aveley F C vs Torquay United Sat 2 Sept KO 3pm
For those who were not there, that was every bit as demoralising as the Worthing game. This result has been coming. I left after we conceded the second - after a bright enough first 20 minutes I’d watched pretty much an hour of Aveley shooting practice, with Halstead again keeping us in it. I am sur...

Slough vs Torquay 26/08/23 15:00
That was another difficult watch and I agree with the other comments that Slough would have been out of sight by half time were it not for Halstead. I’d have to check the highlights to see if he stood any chance with their goal as I was at the other end. I don’t think he did, as it seemed a fine str...

Torquay v Chippenham Town 15/08/23 19:45
An unconvincing and largely uninspiring win. Just about deserved though and credit to the players for battling through - no shortage of effort, but lacking confidence and low on quality. Probably the worst possible result for the owner of a football club who is unsure whether to stick or twist on th...

Torquay Utd v Worthing 12/8/2023 15:00
There have been a handful of performances over the years where you sense there are wider ramifications at play than the result itself - today felt like one of those games. So dramatic was the gulf between the sides, in speed of thought, speed of play, first touch, movement, tactical awareness, techn...

Dover Athletic v Torquay United - 3pm 5th Aug
Barring the first 20 minutes on the pitch, that was a horrible away trip. Dreadful conditions driving down - the last 10 miles or so I was just presuming the match would be called off so bad was the surface water and flooding - credit to the Dover pitch as it held up remarkably well. No segregation ...

Pre-Season Friendlies
Does anyone know what the situation with Dawson is?
I thought he was a major influence in our end of season from last year. Any sign of him in training or watching from the sidelines of our games? Is he injured?

Q&A with Gary and Downesy.
Thanks for this CP.
Did anyone ask about the Jarvis situation and the likelihood of him staying.
I have read the public comments and GJ is unlikely to divert from his recent line, but just wondered whether it was brought up.

Recruitment since the Play Off Final …
This might actually still be the case. In his recent interview Johnson said the players would be getting less money but this wouldn't be the case with him. Is this because he is still under an existing contract? A lot of people seem to think he was given a 2 year contract in 2021 but this was never...

Recruitment since the Play Off Final …
Interesting and sobering analysis CP. Thanks. I am sure that there are a fair few former TUFC managers over the years who will have a similar patchy record, but the recruitment over the last two years has been a major factor in our failure. Compounded by the fact that we are easy pickings for bigger...

Torquay Utd v York City - Sat 15th April 3pm
From a neutral point of view I expect that was a cracking spectacle as a non-league game, but from a Torquay fan’s perspective that was absolute torture! I thought York looked a half decent side to be honest - we looked shaky at times defensively and that is the most uncomfortable I have seen Lawren...

Scunthorpe United v Torquay United, 3pm, Saturday 1st April, 2023
OK, team is taking shape. Can’t recall if Liam Rosenior could play left back, but for the purposes of this rather pointless exercise he can. This leaves us with a defence of Rosenior Lawrence Bould Smith Midfield Randell - Simon Milton - Racci Up front Roberts - Sturridge Need a goalie and an outfie...

Scunthorpe United v Torquay United, 3pm, Saturday 1st April, 2023
Alas, this is likely to just prolong the agony, but if we had this starting eleven for 5 additional games, I think we would be fine. Thought we deserved it today. Particularly for the first 35 minutes of the second half. Should have scored a couple more. Collins took his goal well. Scunthorpe were d...
