Yes, job well done by Knill setting us up to get relegated. It is his fault.

I have known it for weeks and weeks and accepted our fate so long ago but it is hitting me much harder and hurting far more than I thought it would,

It would certainly help if you have a pot of money to spend rather than being brassic. Seems pretty obvious to me !!

:lol: :lol:

Right then lets hope Hargreaves clears out the crap and gets people in who CAN play and also who WANTS to play, I don't mean the like of Nicho Manse & Benyon . Thanks for your efforts in the past but we need to look to the future.

I think we've done well to not be down already. Dagenham and Northampton games killed us off.

The implication that the weather has had a big hand in our relegation !!!!!!!!!
I don't totally agree with that. It played a small part.

We lost plenty of games before January and plenty after.
The weather was a minor inconvenience.

We're relegated because we are the worst team in League 2. Two separate managers played the wrong players for 9 months.
TUFC never fails to let its fanbase down.

27/08/18 - Time to step back from this shambles and focus on things in life that make me happy. TUFC doesn't.

Don't be so daft. There are plenty fingers could be pointed at. But yours always point in the wrong direction. Total obsession. Must be an illness! ;-)

This is the frustrating part, we're nowhere near the worst side in L2.

No, I don't actually. He didn't build the team, set up the losing culture that has only just been shaken off. He hasn't done very well but in my mind it is very clear that Alan Knill, his bloody awful signings, his crap football are what set the scene for our relegation.

Hey Guys
BBC says we are 3-1 up? how so. I don't remember us scoring a third, Matt only a short time ago said we were only 2-1

Knill is 80% to blame on the management front. He had the (mostly) full support of the fans this summer, and a squad to stamp his mark on. Hargreaves is a young inexperienced manager who was expected to perform a miracle and keep perhaps the worst Torquay United team up in a long time. He hasn't done particularly well, but he's outperformed his experienced predecessor comfortably.

Matt.
I actually think you're right. The second sentence is the reason we are, on paper, the worst.
Yeoman should not have gone to Bideford, Benyon should.
Chappell should have been played more.
Tonge should have been dropped and O'Connor played at RB more.

Sadly, two managers got it wrong for the whole season and that's why teams like Accrington, Dagenham, Northampton and Bristol Rovers are above us.
