No need to feel you need to make excuses Ben. As a Torquay fan, things are really as gloomy as you depict, there is no sugar coated magical moments that remain hidden away deep in the recesses of the season thus far. It's been pure torture.
At least the club are adding another couple of loanees to try and move forward but all they will succeed in doing IMO is stemming the tide rather than keeping our heads above the waterline. We're sunk without trace if the metaphors will stretch. Like you say though Ben, the players are now here and that's all we can ask, we must hope that they turn out to become as iconic as Bryn because that is what it will take from one of them now in order for us to stay up, a feat of unbelievable proportions.
Are you going to Brizzle then? If we win tomorrow

then i'll see if I can get down there.
