Torquay United Fans Forum

TROJAN 67, where do i start!

I take it your not a fan of Danny Stevens! slagging him off at any/every opportunity you get, for starters how can you possibly comment on any players performance by judging on a match thread?
Also quoting that he hasn't "got the physical strength, balls and ability in him for a 46 match season" and that Martin Ling basically had his hands tied because Stevens had already signed a 2 year deal!
You also keep banging on about how he drifts infield too much!

Right this is where i can put you right on a few things!

If he hasn't got the balls, lets she if you have, come up to the players lounge after the Crewe game and voice your opinion to him personally instead of being a coward and doing it on a fans forum!
Secondly, you say he cant last a 46 game season, well i can tell you he's been having pain killing injections in his ankle for the last month and playing with a calf problem!
When Martin Ling arrived Stevens was out of contract, and it was he who offered Stevens a deal to commit to the club. When the 2 had a meeting about the upcoming season Ling made it clear that he wanted him to cut infield link play and get his shots off, which he seems to do!
You now judge Torquay United under Martin Ling NOT Paul Buckle, so why dont you try doing the same with each and every player including Stevens!

For a player who's chipped in with 9 goals and a few assits this season and is playing through pain to get Torquay United promoted, i dont think thats a bad return for a player who was used as a fringe player for the last few seasons!
