Torquay United Fans Forum

Was a typo, was a standard win, not A STANDARD. I'm genuinely not trying to berate fans, honestly not, we win a few games 2-1 Vs part timers, and it's all great again, but for me it's a sad state of affairs really, I've seen some super players (and a few bad ones) at Plainmoor, and some cracking games Vs quality opposition, now we've got a local derby Vs Truro, I'm going to start taking my kids again soon as I do want them to follow and support Gulls, they went a few years ago, but got to tired and nodded off, no joke intended!,

Come on Southampton Gull, I'm trying to put things into perspective, how far we've fallen, now to regional football, for a lot of fans, myself included I can't really get hyped about where we're at these days, it's just a shame that it's gotten so bad, I suppose the only way is up, and I get football has changed a heck of a lot, even teams in league 2 are payinig big money, even NL clubs are, but I miss being in league two or the old Div 4..

I'm still GJ out, dining out on beating Wimbourne, playing 2nd or 3rd qualifying rounds for the FA cup when I can remember playing Sheff Weds in the early 80's (and again in late 80's) beating West Ham, playing Coventry, I know Spurs was League cup but even so it's great memories, nowadays fans seem content with beating Wimbourne and keeping a clean sheet, it's hardly setting the bar high is it?, GJ has taken us back to 6th tier regional football, and so far I still think the jury is out on whether we'll even go up this season, our points tally could easily be six points less than it currently is if it wasn't for our keeper who so far is the best Gulls player this season. Having said all that, the league for me dosent really take shape until 15 league games in, by then it's a lot clearer with the direction of how things are heading for all teams.

It's an a standard win really, good that we've progressed, but I wouldn't get carried away beating Wimbourne, who with all dure respect we should be beating anyway.

I think Brewers Boy must be on something if he thinks we'll get to the 3rd proper and draw a top prem club..our cup form in past 10 seasons or so isn't great at all, If you look at all of our away performance's so far, we've not look 100% convincing in any of them, yet on paper the away form is decent, I think we'll win, but any result wouldn't suprise me at all, going for 2-3 Gulls., Think GJ will play a blend,reckon 3 back up players will start,

Gulls 2-2 Chelmsford.

Gulls 1-1 Farnborough.

Aveley 2-1 Gulls

Good win, I was out of town with my family, so couldn't post my prediction of a 2-0 win, never mind, talking to mates today who went, it sounded pretty awful, I'm not trying to get a rise out of fellow Gulls fans, but I think results maybe papering over the cracks, our record since Worthing at home is good, but performance wise I'm not so sure, 3 points is always welcome though, and Yeovil got beat!!, I called it before a ball was kicked Truro would be decent and a real suprise (not to me), for the league,All in all yesterday was a great win, but performances need to pick up, sooner or later our luck will run out, as for McGavin, I just think he's lacking confidence, he can't make up his CV he's obviously been decent, and I hope that returns, but he needs to do everything just a bit quicker and work a bit harder, Donnellan I'm really not sure about, utility players downfall is exactly that, the word utility says it all, he can't really master one position well, again that's not meant to get other fans irate and on my case, from what I've seen of him, I think NLS is beyond him,

To Southampton Gull , it's all good, I'm a Gulls fan just like yourself, I'm not going to get drawn on to GJ, he isn't for me, but I'll back the team, 3 on the spin and with senior players to come back in, it's not looking to bad, I do think that the league maybe tougher than when we won it, and Yeovil look like they are finding form, but let's just take one game at a time .

Fantastic win, glad Ash is up and running, and hopefully he'll get on a streak now, I thought we'd draw, but 3 points is very welcome..not sure how the performance was, but it's a win.

Slough 1-1 Gulls.

To Southampton Gull, who pulled your chain?, pipe down pal, if you think GJ not explaining the team formation prior to kick off is ok, then so be it, but he needs to have a word with himself, this is St Alban's away for crying out loud, not a champions League game, his ego is way to big, it's well known in football circles he's disliked and pisses people off, and by the way, Aldershot did stay didn't they?, You gave me grief for saying they'd stay up, If you think beating the mighty St Albans is good, then good luck to you, but personally I think you're deluded.

I heard GJ on radio Devon at around 14.45pm, bloody hell the bloke needs to get over himself, not giving away any info to the reporter because people around him maybe listening?, The thing is Gary, you've put us back into regional part time orientated football, and you wanna act like Jose Mourinho??, Good win today, but if we are to do anything in this league we need to be wining games like this, just need to keep focused and concentrate on the next game now, but Johnson's PR is shocking, if not embarrassing.

St Alban's 1 1 Gulls.
