Johnson latest drivel

See that Mark Cooper has said that both Murphy and Hyde are "out for the foreseeable" but they still have 3 strikers to choose from !!!

He also said that another striker has been signed and will join the club today !!

If only we had that option. Would be nice.

Worthing v Torquay United - Saturday 27th January 2024

Totally agree with pat out of he'll.

Johnson must go He got sacked from Yeovil and Cheltenham and they soon recovered and have done well without him. so he's not the The Messiah some fans believe!!

I to listened to the Radio broadcast yesterday, and thought that Martin Gritton's comments were spot on . He's was a decent player in his day ,and I think may live locally.

I say sack Johnson and Co and get Gritton in, that should reunite the fans and hopefully turn the team around . May not get us up this season but it's worth a shot.

Anyone agree with me, things have just got to change. But they probably won't !!!!

Chippenham v Torquay Tue 23rd

On TUFC Radio tonight, match commentator is being joined by Jarvis and Dawson.

New Signing

Oh my days...!!! A proper Centre Foward..whatever is Johnson thinking of.

At last the penny has dropped. Can only be an improvement on what we have got at the moment.

Hopefully this will bolster the front line. Unless of course they play him at Centre Half !!

Nothing surprises me at the moment

Injuries.

Probably like a lot of you I have just seen the latest " hot news" from Johnson as to the injury situation.

He says he expects some of the walking wounded to be back in 2 maybe 3 even 4 weeks time. He, above all must know that if and when these bodies return they will still be rehabilitating, ie Probably only able to play for say 60 minutes at best . It's going to be several weeks before they all return,and fully fit.

By which time February will have gone and we'll be well into March, If and big if we haven't won many games by then, all hopes of getting into the play offs will have disappeared.

Still as Edwards keeps telling us....He's the best man for the job!!

Really !!!

Ex-Gull watch

Just want to mention Lolas. Went from us to Oxford city and now at Crawley.

His main claim to fame was being brought as a sub in our "heyday" in the Conference and then Our beloved leader brought him off after 10-15 minutes on the pitch.

Scored a cracking goal seen on Match of the Day last night.

So Gary,,,,,,what was wrong with him? Another player improving himself in League Two.

Also see Wearne signed up to play at MKDons another League team.

Another one that was deemed not good enough by our illustrious leader and his cohorts

Still as George keeps telling us...he's the best man for the job...Really !!!

Injuries.

Yes injuries have I think been the main factor throughout this season.

We are now in the Hokey Cokey season.....in out ..in out !! And are getting down to the bare bones of our squad. As each game approaches we are wondering who's name comes out of The Gaffer's baseball cap!!!

Unfortunately the number of names available get less each week.

Anyway...Happy New Year to you all.

Torquay United v Truro City, Boxing Day 3pm.

So Saturdays game called off. Blessing in disguise for Johnson and the team.
Hopefully united will have more bodies available when the game is rescheduled.
Maybe even Dawson Hall and Lapslie could??? be fit.
I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH !!!

Josh Staunton

Just seen Josh Staunton has left Yeovil.
Former captain who playes in defence at 32 years old, would he be the experienced player Torquay have been needing?
Apparently though he has not played this season!
Might be a bit of a concern if his lack of appearances have been down to him being fit!
Any comments?.

Torquay United v Tonbridge Angels, Sat 2nd Dec, 3pm

Would be a bit of a shame if he left. Has recently put in some decent displays recently.
In the present situation with injuries Johnson could do with him.
Obviously we won't be told anything until he's gone ... if the rumour is correct
