However, in my opinion, it shows how far this club has fallen that contributors to this site are relying on the failures of part-time clubs to keep this full-time club in this league. I realise that the points' deduction has played its part, but as I have commented previously most of the players should be ashamed to call themselves professional footballers.

If a consortium involving Hayman and Edwards gains control then I predict that things will get infinitely worse.

Well said and good post, minutes after other games, fans on here mentioning Taunton,Truro, Dartford etc.....its show how far we've fallen doesn't it, not good enough, and next season I'm pretty convinced will be much of the same, I said at the start of the season we are an average mid table NLS team, and which is what we are, all the hype about play offs and winning the league back in July and August, I never believed it one bit.

That's a very good post, Archie is a very good athlete and left back is his role, no doubt on that, quite why GJ kept playing players out of position was very puzzling, I walked away from Plainmoor during his tenure trying to figure out what he was thinking at times, he played Donnellan everywhere, very strange.

Truro were taken over by some Canadian dude, all I know is Paul Wotton and Tyler Harvey both signed contract extensions shortly afterwards,not sure what the blokes business is, but he obviously got spondulix to splash....as documented, Gloucester city pitch is artificial, and we don't play great on that, Truro 2-0 Gulls....

Havant at home and our goal difference will be factors in probably staying up, that's no disregard of Havant fc, they'll be relegated by the time we play them, I think we'll likely get a point vs Taunton poss Truro, Bath away is a toughie, looking back that win over Dartford was huge.

I don't think you'll rid this characteristic from Marshall's game, we all know it's there, we've seen him do this over the past two seasons,with the age he is you'd think many coaches and managers would've got this discipline issue out of his game, but maybe it isn't possible?.

Truro signed a few players on loan from Bournemouth, plus the lad from Notts County....it's boosted their squad size, to enable them to rotate a bit, esp with their schedule.

As kevgull says it could go to goal difference.

You must mean Taunton as well?, they got a decent point today but are in the thick of it, I think we'll be okay, but if we only get a point from Truro/Taunton fixtures, I may start to think differently. I've got a hunch Truro will win tonight.

Great post , I don't hink anyone with their marbles intact ever thought CO was positive force, ever, you only had to look him up and down and hear his BS, and you just knew what his game was from day one.

Welling 2-1 Gulls, Welling in pretty decent form, can't see us getting anything.

Gulls 2-2 WSM fc..around 2750, 150 odd away fans.

I said I know, what I cannot figure out is why it's been allowed to happen, as for posting on this forum, as a fan who's followed Gulls for over 40years home and away, I feel I'm in a position to talk on these matters...after all the troubles we've had over the years on and off the park, how CO was ALLOWED to get control, that's the issue that pissed me off.

I know how CO got hold of TUFC, what I'm saying is, with his track record, how in the blue hell did it all get rubber stamped and signed off?, as for GJ wages, that's taking the p*ss beyond taking the p*ss to be blunt,

Great post Samuel, on point and fact laden .No doubt about it, how on earth got his mitts on the club in the first place is a mystery to me.

The result wasn't a surprise, but at the same time if you're going to turn up and be passive -and lose, why not go up there and have a go?, it might of taken Yeovil by surprise, giving them to much respect and not really putting in a shift, it's almost as if we wanted this one out of the way, and we move on to Monday, but to me it's a wasted chance to get another point or 3 on the board... we'll probably take something from Monday, but if we don't, and Welling (one of leagues form teams) beat us, it'll be squeaky bum time.
