We might be poor but the same players have more or less played every minute of every match for the past couple of months. Ash has been running around by himself up front for ages - I dont particularly rate him but he gave it everything tonight.

Coasting through the Bath game proved to be the correct decision in the end. Given all the circumstances it was a superb effort tonight.

Looking bleak for Taunton now. They have to beat WSM on Thursday and may even need to win on Saturday as well. It could be goal difference between Taunton and Eastbourne..,......but who cares, we are SAFE. Just need to sort out the administrators and have a plan in place for providing a bond to continue in NLS......do not let us fall foul of their rules, after the teams efforts in last two weeks.

I need to sleep...bloody exhausting!

Its much simpler really...
Taunton have to win both of their games to survive.

Don't wish to be pedantic but if you check you will see that a win and a draw could be enough for Taunton to survive if Eastbourne lose their last match away to Braintree.

I'm probably being unfair on some individuals, but collectively whether the club remains full time or part time, I wouldn't be sorry to see the entire squad leave and start again.
Fantastic weve stayed up!!, but in the cold light of day, when it all sinks in, I've got to agree with you, the whole lot need shipping out, otherwise it'll be a long slog next season of pretty much the same as this campaign, it needs a fresh slate.

Maybe a tad harsh,Lovett, Archer,Booth,Mox and poss Hall, all the rest I'm expecting will leave, the names stated on reflection could do s job in NLS, I like Downes, he's a likeable bloke, but he's not the answer going forward.

Fantastic result boys…. We now await the new owners… it can only have heartened them… Richard Hughes of The Hearald Express suggests there were over 800 gull supporters there…. Well done and supported one and all..

But to achieve that they need a five goal turnaround.

Well done in the circumstances, but really this club really should be in the Football League competing in League Tw0 at the very least. I'm an Argyle fan but can't get tickets at Home Park. I love the atmosphere at Plainmoor. Come on you Gulls!

A deserved win. We played some good football in the first half and battled well to keep them out after their early second half goal. Good thing they missed that open goal though.
Another to add to the list of most memorable matches I’ve been to in 45 years of watching Torquay.

From what I could see, looked about 800 or so ( that's the normal full away allocation )
