https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/torquay-chase-loan-deal-for-pompey-keeper-1-8556060 Seems we are waiting for this young keeper from Portsmouth. First thoughts are surely there is a keeper unattached with experience in such a vital position we should be going for? Pompey get an inj...

Don't think either are winning in truth.

However Owers is the current man at the helm (whether we like it or not) and you can either give up or live in hope, and as Red said in Shawshank redemption "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things".

Two year contract, beating off competition from a host of other clubs.

I see that Wrexham have signed Mike Fondop - did he not have a pre-season trial match with us last season and scored two goals followed by Nicho's summary "He had a decent enough game … but not really what we are looking for". Hmmm! He had a great game, but also seem to have a bit of an a...

So that makes me in the Nicholson camp? You either love Owers and all he does or your must pledge allegiance to King Nicho?!?

Odd rules you have Brucie but I respect them and will get his little bold head tattoo'd on my chest so I can show I belong.

Do you have to be one or the other Brucie? I personally thought Nicholson deserved the sack but should have happned at the end of the season and not after he had the whole pre season to bring his players in and spunk the budget. Owers then had enough time to turn things around but seemed to sign the...

Fair point, but in my view the most successful squads have a blend of both. Experience is key but they need hunger too. We seem to be very good at taking players from teams that are on the turn and seemingly looking for a year or two more in the game before moving on to another career. Hungry 30 som...

Davis has resigned which I am personally very happy about. I think in a division where we should be on the attack more he will do very well this season and think we have done well to keep hold of him.

PS- A fully fit and motivated Gowling would in my opinion still be a real asset to this football club, I however question just how much he wants to be here and help us fight for promotion.

Don't know him as a player so cant comment on his ability, his pedigree looks good but then again so did many that joined last summer! He was their captain last year for Barrow and played a good amount of games so couldn't have been a complete flop. Being positive perhaps he is on a decent wage and ...

It appears Owers wants to build the team around Asa Hall and he is close to joining- https://www.devonlive.com/sport/football/football-news/torquay-uniteds-gary-owers-keen-1693259 On the face of it has the experience we need and would be nice to have a deep playmaker in the team which is something w...

Regardless of this if its his only option to remain as a full time professional footballer he may have no choice.

So tomorrow could be the day our fate is sealed, almost a relief to be put out of our misery.

My son is due to be mascot on the final game of the season, at least the family wont have to queue for tickets!

Of course we have to win every game but personally I always like to see what the par score is on average to see if we have any realistic chance of survival. History indicated 5 wins and 2 loses would give us a fighting chance.

Perhaps its all a little too late but as any Torquay fan you always live in hope! With that in mind I couldnt help but look at some stats to see what COULD be required- Looking at the last 10 seasons the average points total for the teams finishing 20th = 48.3 (highest= 54, lowest= 44), we have 34 p...
