PW spot on again in his post match video

Another game down, can't get ahead of ourselves

Rest up and go again next Saturday

Not a great game, but the 3 points are all that matters. Aveley fought hard but were mostly poor - long ball their main tactic, and the Gulls had the majority of the play. But, despite a few half chances we found it hard to score. However we kept trying and were energetic right to the final whistle. The substitutions changed the game; Mussa getting his man sent off was the turning point. Will need to play better than this for the last games. Aveley's ground was modern and well set up (for a level 7 team) but it is not easy to get to. Smallish crowd, I'd guess we had c.75% of the attendees.

I think that's a good summary. The sending off was a result of our skilful play and the longer the game went on the more likely we looked to score.

It's all gone very quiet after that win, with people thinking (like me) now that Worthing have become catchable when in typical Torquay United fashion will it all start to go 'Tits Up?'

It’s probably gone quiet because Saturday is ages away!

Think they’d be a bit more talk if Worthing had lost again and we were joint top. Also even though we are on a fabulous run, we still haven’t played particularly well, we’re very good at grinding out wins without playing teams off the park.

We need to find a way to spark the crowd, we’ll have another big attendance on Saturday but the atmosphere is generally pretty flat, again maybe down to the fact we’re not playing Man City football and creating numerous chances, we seem to wait for the team to score rather than driving them onwards.

Well that didn't take too long to happen, and in truth it's probably fortuitous that the Tits have gone Up so quickly, because even the teams in the National League would put us to the sword - let alone in the actual league itself!

Crowd around 3700, so almost as if the crowd were expecting the result!

Truro top, don't you just know what is going to happen. We have their previous manager...

So are you saying that because I don't go along with YOUR way of thinking I need to "seek help?"

Yours was a simple post, but I'm sure it garnered a little bit of the attention you so desperately need.

The next time you decide to post something simple, you might want to add a bit more umph to it: ie, mention something about The Manager, the likelihood that Truro will be Champions and will get out of this shit awful league while we continue to flounder in it. Perhaps comment on the size of the crowd, or why it was guaranteed we were yet again beaten by a Semi-Professional outfit - indeed, all the things I spoke about.

You run along now.
