Apologies for the earlier optimistic prediction. Another awful performance....and finding new ways to lose. Scuffed corner led to their opener. Keeper scored from a drop kick from his area. Why Dan Lavercombe wasn't wearing a cap only he and the 'management' can answer. Going on the old Sunday Independent star ratings all fourteen players used get the one star for turning up (Pittman would have struggled to get this before scoring, to be fair it was a clinical finish). Very little service for Keating today. Young tries hard but sadly two serious knee injuries have taken their toll.
A team that could get into the top half? The only way this lot would get in the top half would be to go upstairs on a bus...and I wouldn't be too sure they could all find their way there.

Hoping to come away from Plainmoor in a much better frame of mind than a couple of Tuesdays ago. Think we may see a home win courtesy of Mr Keating.

Players deserving of more than the one star for turning up.....Clark in goal, Young in midfield (just), though he is from the Trappist monk school of captaincy and Keating.

6 goals, a penalty save......and yet it was of the worst games I've seen at Plainmoor. The first half had absolutely nothing to redeem it, can't recall a shot anger, bar the 20 second pinball salvo in our six yard box.
Dreadful breakdown in communication allowed Boreham Wood to go 1 up. Second came very quickly. Glory be, Ruari Keating headed one back across the keeper. Anderson gave away a penalty...Clark saved. Ruari equalised with 20 minutes to go, cue the grandstand finish. Twenty seconds later they are back in front, soft looping header. We huffed and puffed without looking like scoring and it was no surprise when BW broke in numbers to score again.
It would be unfair to single out any individual, there were a lot of Sunday Independent one stars on show tonight.

Second home game of the season and hopefully our first three points. How about a 3-1 win for the Gulls. Have happy memories of Torquay v Boreham Wood of yesteryear. The only time I have been involved in Matchball sponsorship Torquay beat Boreham Wood 5-0 in the FA Cup.

First post for me....will start with an optimistic 1-0 win for the Yellows. Defence looked a lot more organized on Saturday.
