Torquay United Fans Forum

My summary having had a couple of days to reflect:

Tactics
I think the manager has to look at the tactics and learn. We had 2 lightweight strikers up against some massive defenders and we hoofed it forward. They hardly won a header. At times we played it on the deck and we needed more of that. Plus we lack a plan B/C with regards to shape. Certainly needs looking at. We were so slow and predictable!

Encouragement
The manager was very vocal and got right into the players. Some of it was constructive but at times (I was right next to the dugout) the players deserved a telling-off but also needed some guidance (linking back to the tactics). Again something to learn!

Players
For some reason we barely put a tackle in, hardly won a header and everyone was so quiet in the team. Lots of things in our hands that we didn't get right at all. I don't think the surface helped but that excuse can only go so far.

Bishops Cleeve have a great set up there and they certainly deserved the win. Good luck to them in the next round and back to the drawing board for us!

The idea that if our kit wasn't pink we would have scored more points is laughable.

Plus this kit was voted in by the fans and has sold well.

The bottom line is that attitudes and tactics need to be looked at, especially on the road.

I've been trying to find info about car parking at their ground with no luck - does anyone know about it?

It would be great to know how many spaces they actually have, if that gets full what happens (it appears to be in the middle of nowhere) and the price as presumably will have to bring cash.

I'd like to update my score

Welling 0-2 TUFC

Welling 2-1 TUFC
Hopefully I'm wrong though

Bishops Cleeve would suit me as well! Circa 50 miles away!

TUFC 1-0 Chippenham

When you look at the goal difference for us vs others at the top we could do with an injection of pace via a loan or two I think. Plus a plan B to change shape.

Can't grumble overall though. COYY

Tufc 1-0 aveley

Having a bigger squad has helped this last week - can it help again? Maybe we will see Moxey or Tomlinson involved to freshen things up again.

I'll go Chesham 0-1 TUFC

Thanks guys!

Anyone else ran into this message when getting to the payment area?

"Registered Address

Not sure what to put and cannot see instructions. Might be something obvious! If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks

TUFC 2-1 DW

Bath 0-2 TUFC

Not long till the next game. They got a good win away at Chippenham - very tough to call at this early stage.

I think 1-1

Will TUFC radio be making a return at all?

I'm sure there was some content somewhere where there was talk of using the space where the bowling club is. Whether that is a fanzone or more of an extra space for popsiders to get refreshments I'm not sure.

There is all that space outside the front of the family stand which longer term could be used for something
