Next 6 Games

[portugull]

Welling Away 12 Sept 21st

Kidderminster Away 15 Sept 24th

Bromley Home 18 Sept 18th

Boreham Wood Home 20 Sept 20th

Lincoln Away 26 Sept 13th

Aldershot Home 3 October 12th

After a very tough August the next 6 games will really tell us a lot about our prospects for the season.

In this League there are no easy games. However 3 of the above sides are in the bottom 5 for a reason. They are struggling big time. We must take advantage.


A minimum points haul of 12 out of 18 is a realistic target. COYY

Agree that we have favourable fixtures. However, unlike before the biggest factor is the attendance at home. We can beat xxxx 6-0 but with a 1500 crowd the team is going to go bust. I can support in away matches, but that only helps the home team financially. Come on you Torquay based fans. We surely have to re-ignite those that used to attend.

If we lose our next game we could be in the bottom five (even the bottom four) ourselves. If so, we'll be there for a reason..

Anyway, musn't be negative.. I believe we'll start to win a few..

I agree to the point that it's important to pick a couple of wins, from this next run of fixtures, we just simply can not keep going on about the position our clubs in, there are clubs in this division working on/with less than TUFC is/has. However I do not think this next run of fixtures does point to where we are as a club or will be as season defining as some think.

Its easy to forget the injury's to both Luke Young and Waide Fairhurst, there's the main creator and the player who would have linked the attacking play together missing from the team, a real massive blow when the clubs working off a reported £350k player budget, that's not an excuse to cover up some one with a lack of ability in the coaching side of things, just the truth.

It's easy to forget through no fault of the current board and management, Paul Cox was still checking out trial players a week before the season started, denying the coaching staff the all important pre-season with any form of settled squad, not just to work on fitness, but, also team spirit and work ethic, and developing tactics and game plans , certainly putting behind most other clubs and at a disadvantage, however slight.

To early to press the panic buttons, no idea who or timing, but, I'm certain we'll see some outs and in's as the season unfolds, the squad will get stronger and improve as time goes by. On the subject of yesterdays gate, yes it was disappointingly poor, but last season we saw a number of 1100- 1500 home attendances and still hit a 1900 average, think the club achieve it again in the end.

To me, the biggest two are the next two. They are must wins, not in terms of points, but in terms of getting the numbers through the gates for the next home game. Lose the next two and we could be looking at a critical number of fans through the turnstiles.

There is no doubting that our newly formed squad needs more help. We will need solid defensive performances at Welling and Kiddiminster backed up by putting away our goal scoring chances in order for us to create a little daylight between ourselves and the relelgation zone. If not, we will find ourselves in it.

Barrow, Bromley, Guisley and Boreham Wood are all getting decent results at this level which suggests that they could all stay up this season. This will pile even more pressure on our inexperienced squad as you might have expected 2 out of the 4 promoted teams to find it tough and go straight back down.

If 1500 home fans is going to be norm, we will need a couple of decent cup runs to improve our income or find a diamond in the rough player from the non contracted pool of players.

Knife edged stuff this!
COYY!

I think it's just as important for the club to advertise the NEXT 4 home games in Sports Direct,Debenhams, hotels, blocks of flats in the town as we could pick up holiday spectators and would it be better for Kids free for a month?
