Perfectly aware of the score thanks as I was there

The point was the score was 0-1 when lapslie made his thoughts to the pop

What point are you trying to make? Think that demonstrated that the players are behind the manager, even if the game aren't.

Anywhere silly goal conceded, sounded like, but to the teams credit that they came back into it. Still not totally convinced, especially but the defence, but win again on Tuesday and there's a whole new feeling about things

Loan signings still required. Defender, maybe a wide player to offer something off the bench, and striker; not sure about Ash

Torquay 5-1 Welling

What a prediction!!!

Uncomfortable first 30 minutes, with Welling playing some nice stuff, but once it was 1-1 there was only one winner.
Plenty more of our passing football and good opportunities but with the wrong choices made, much the same as last two games.
Once we scored however, you could see the confidence return and Welling pretty much fell apart.
Silly red card for their keeper which ensured a chaotic last 10 minites.

No half time demonstration, shock.

Couple of 'Johnson out' chants which died when we equalised. Left the ground after an entertaining afternoon with the feel good factor, to hopefully be continued on Tuesday.

That was a much needed win, GJ must of found a lucky horse shoe from somewhere, both penalties were debateble, to score direct from a corner, a deflected goal, and a Donnellan goal that I'm not entirely sure he meant, for 25 mins we didn't t look great, we got a huge slice of luck out of nothing, we go in 2-1 up, 2nd half was better, Welling not as good, but I thought 5-1 flattered us, we deserved to win, but I'm not entirely convinced by us...You take what's given to you, Donnellan MOTM 2 weeks in a row I'm also not sure about, I did think Jarvis worked hard, Lapslie was lucky esp with flailing arms, he needs to watch that...Credit to Welling, they never hoofed it, probably tried to play out from the back to much and we capitalised on it.

The same people will be singing GJYA at Weston on Tuesday night! I’ve been in the Johnson out camp for some time and beating a poor side doesn’t change that, but I’m glad we’ve got the 3 points of course. One day soon GJ will retire, and I’d much rather that be in the NL than the NLS.

I missed the first fifteen minutes and as my neighbour in the stand said, this was probably and inadvertantly a wise occurence, who would have believed other than that well known sage, happytorq that a 5-1 was on the cards , certainly not me, did the score flatter us, most definetely. I thought we were more concerned with not making mistakes than creating anything especially first half,the team balance was so wrong, you had craske, a right footed right back playing left wingback and he was so far out of his depth that I feared the worst, more so if welling had twigged his discomfort, donnellan not a right back for me, another nervous player, competent going forward but defending enough said. Mcgavin,a supposed midfielder, loved by Johnson, well you cannot say he has a workrate because he doesn't, if he was paid for yardage covered and tackles made he would owe the club every week but as can be seen he has a great shot on him. Yet another week without a forward player on the bench and a spare midfielder that can only manage 20 minutes. If lapslie or jarvis gets injured we are in the poo, bigtime. See you all tuesday night.

Desperately need another striker

Ash was ineffective today, too often wants to complicate matters with a flick, be good to at least have the option to rotate up top

Now that is the the way to give an honest after match interview .......Johnson take note!

That's a very honest and candid interview, nothing sugar coated or PR garbage, fair play to Danny Bloor.
