Shows the void in quality for supposed promotion contenders

Even if we scrape the playoffs, unless we build a real run of consistent form with associated confidence, I can’t see a promotion being at all likely.

Comparatively to the rest of the National League South, the squad isn’t technically that bad.

It’s the complete lack of game plan and substandard management that makes it atrocious

“If Braintree went down to 9, or even 8, even then I don’t think Torquay would trouble them” Radio Devon

Quite frankly this is worse than when Owers was in charge. At least we had some decent quality players then. Either Johnson needs to resign or he has to be sent on his way. I don’t understand the stubborn attitude on either side. I’d understand if GJ was fired up and driving performances but his bod...

The commentators on Radio Devon are as despondent as the players

1-1

Is this sarcasm? I can’t tell.

Whilst Torquay sit in 11th position in the National League South, we are BOTTOM of the form table. https://www.flashscore.co.uk/standings/pWjnhkSP/dGUPTtJe/#/dGUPTtJe/form/overall/5 We all know this is unacceptable and no one can understand why the club is not taking direct action. Lost for words.

The conviction, desire and hunger has to come from the management. GJ sounds like a broken man in each interview. He may have a free pass but he’s got to get a grip for his own health and sanity as well as the sake of the club and team. I’d suggest he needs outside counsel and support, the tricky th...

Why not do a ‘sit in’ on the pitch at half time?

“Game management”.

Sounded like the players put in more of a shift today, but nonetheless we’ve now lost to 2 playoff contenders and shown we can’t compete.

What will it take for a change?

3-2 Maidstone. Sounds like a screamer

With people questioning who would come here, let’s not forget that we are one of the few full time, professional clubs in the division. We’re effectively a sleeping giant at this level who should at least be in the national league, if not league 2. Let’s not allow how far we have fallen to cloud the...

So name me one manager that is going to come here full time??? A sacked ex football league manager??? Wouldn't come anywhere near this level. A upcoming manager going to give up his job and life to go full time. Ok then. Give me 3 names by full time?? Let's see how deluded you are. We need a change...

Out of curiosity does anyone have any data that compares the win ratio and goals conceded when Halstead is in goal vs Lovett?
