Torquay United v Dagenham & Redbridge - 1/12/12

[AustrianAndyGull]

Nice one Dave!

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many Daggers will bring on saturday? I reckon about 125?

[gurneygibbs23]

anyway,

a 1-0 or 2-1 win for the gulls, Jarvis and Downes to score and probably 50 away support in attendance of 2,355

[AustrianAndyGull]

You think there will be no more than 50 Daggers turning up? I didn't think it would be that low, especially for a saturday.

Only 3 other saturdays before Christmas, and temperatures around freezing point... I don't think we will reach 2,300 home fans I am afraid. I'll say 2,062, with 73 Dags fans.

Feeling vaguely positive about a good result though, so I agree with 1-0/2-1 to the good guys. Jarvis won't score.

As good a chance as we will get to start up a winning run..
Ever hopeful

Dear Santa

I've been a really good boy this year, helping the elderly and saying sorry for uncontrollable outbursts on this forum, you should know, i've told you to f*ck off on a number of occasions! So please can i have maximum points for my beloved Torquay United in December as a present? I deserve it. Starting today against the Daggers?

I know you're a Torquay fan deep down and you read this forum religously. There are a few dicks on here, sorry about that Santa but you know it makes sense. Underneath that mysteriously rotund body is a yellow heart wishing it could be set free and I would fully support a campaign for you to change your strip from Exsh*tter red and white to a new yellow and blue. That would just be sex man!!!

Thanks man.

P.S: If we don't beat Daggers today then i'll know that you either don't exist, you're a fake clammy overweight paedophile who gets his kicks from doing stints in shopping malls dishing out presents to kids. There ain't no way on this planet that i'd let my kid sit on some random blokes knee. OR you're on the dole but getting cash in hand but are definately NOT a paedophile. The lack of three points today certainly won't be because, even though you are real, i have been a naughty boy this year so am not getting anything. That would just be unacceptable and you would receive a fairly robust and comprehensive letter of complaint in reply!

So don't break my heart Santa ( i actually tell my little one he is correctly addressed using the term 'Father Christmas' in our house as we aren't Americans ).
Don't prove me right by being a paedophile, please, i NEED to believe! Give us the points today or you can f*ck off if you think you're getting any mince pies lardy!

[b]It's Saturday again so before the insane drivvel about Barnsley & Leeds starts again, I feel it is my duty to inform you that Santa is in fact a Villa fan. He has got a soft spot for TQY though & always checks out our results. [/b]

gonna go for 2-2 draw, howe and jarvis, 2034 there

[AustrianAndyGull]

We'll win this don't worry everyone. Not usually confident but i've no worries about today. The points are in the bag. We WILL concede but we will win the game so that's all that matters. I am extremely interested in the performance today though as although we beat York 2- and changed the formation we still were quite poor and struggled to create any decent openings other than the two we scored. I would hope for a high tempo, pressing game today and putting them under some pressure in the final third and our ball retention needs to be a lot better than it has been.

[AustrianAndyGull]

The Gulls are a shade of odds on for this at 10/11 with the Daggers at 12/5. The draw is 9/4.

I wasn't at York so don't know for certain, but didn't we play 4-4-2 with Stevens and Bodin flanking a midfield of Easton and Craig? If we were lining up with that personnel in a 4-3-3/4-5-1 I'd be quite worried
