Didn't take long for the daggers to come out for Deano. Everyone was patting him on the back a few weeks ago and now he's on the end of a barrage of personal insults when nobody knows the facts. Not saying I do - Edwards may be or may not be responsible for Cox's departure - but a witch hunt isn't g...

But the Conference wouldn't agree to it and I can't see away teams being happy playing away in Torquay on a Saturday night. They wouldn't get back home until 4am on the Sunday and with so many Tuesday games throughout the season, plenty of clubs would surely object.

Also agree about the atmosphere - been brilliant in the three away games I've attended this season. The drum makes a massive difference so well done Danny. One minor complaint - during the 'bounce' song, there's one guy who shouts out 'f*****g bounce' at the top of his voices all the time and that's...

Just got home. Not sure if I'm pleased to collect a point or disappointed we dropped two. I'm somewhere in between. Obviously, we played three quarters of the match with 10 men and soaked up a lot of pressure, but like Welling, we had chances to win the game so a draw was probably a fair outcome. We...

Thanks for the reports. I think one of our biggest problems right now is the lack of goals we score from open play. Most of our goals this season have come through set-pieces or a long throw. Our wing-backs pose a far greater threat than our midfield. Richards, Carmichael and Heslop seem too similar...

Injured in training yesterday. Sounds like we're lucky to be level going in at the break but ended the half strongly.

Ignore everything I said. Briscoe won't be going anywhere judging by these comments: http://mobile.torquayunited.com/news/ar ... 68790.aspx

And Fairhurst's knee scan apparently didn't go well so looks like he'll be out for a while.

Briscoe isn't proving value for money. He's probably one of our highest paid players but can't even get in the starting XI. If there is another team interested in his services - which could be doubtful given his physical condition - then we should let Louis leave. I also wouldn't rule out a hasty de...

Heslop was anonymous in the first half at Eastleigh. He did improve in the second half but was ineffective overall. Too early to judge though, especially as he hasn't had a pre-season. One thing that did disappoint me was that he wasn't very vocal. With so many young and inexperienced players in the...

On way home. Can't believe we nearly pinched a point because at 3-0 we looked dead and buried. I couldn't see us scoring as up until Hurst's strike we hadn't had a single shot on target. MacDonald headed against the post but that was the only memorable chance and the first thing Poke had to do all a...

I've always liked Richards. He lacks some attributes but will make it ahead of more naturally talented players because he seems to have an excellent attitude and will to win - just look at his reaction at the final whistle to the wins over Macclesfield and Halifax. The new formation should also help...

There were quite a few new songs being belted out by the Yellow Army yesterday but the above was the pick of the bunch. The drum makes such a huge difference to the atmosphere. I also thing inflatable fish are going to be a regular feature at away games, especially if new fan-favourite Fisher keeps ...

I'm surprised Hawley has dropped down to that level. He was terrible for us but hit double figures for a relegated Conference team last season.
