National League - Bromley FC v Torquay United - Saturday 10 October 2020 - 3.00pm kick-off

90+ minutes 100% effort and concentration please. With more than half a team injured/unavailable who knows what performance will be served up? Whitfield at left wingback makes us vulnerable and need more punch from the front 2 starters.

Unlikely that we will see Asa Hall on the articial surface and Wright hauling himself around for 90 minutes on the plastic seems unlikely. I'm out watching local football luckily - if we get anything from this game I will be amazed.

When we get injuries the players seem to take ages to reappear - surely kerr, Warren etc can't be that badly injured, they havn't played any matches.

Oh good, its on a plastic pitch, if we had a fully fit first choice eleven on artificial turf it always looks like we are playing in our wellies.shame we do not have access to such surfaces!!!!!!!!!. If we get a point I will be more than happy.

Torquay United face injury waiting game over defenders ahead of trip to Bromley

(Devon Live report by Richard Hughes - 10:31, 10 Oct 2020)

Gary Johnson is waiting to see if he will have Gary Warren and Fraser Kerr ready to join the squad at the weekend with both defenders’ injuries meaning they missed the first two games of Torquay United’s season.
Warren was on loan at United from Exeter City for three games last season and signed during the summer, while Kerr joined the club from Hartlepool United. They are both central defenders and both desperately needed - but this afternoon might come too soon for the pair.

The temporary back three of Ben Wynter, Sam Sherring and Kyle Cameron did well to keep a clean sheet in one and a half matches - with the Gulls beating Stockport County 1-0 on day one last Saturday and leading 1-0 through a Sherring header at half time at Eastleigh on Tuesday night.

However, two second-half goals from Ben House meant United returned home without any points after the home side found some space to attack down the left.

Former Exeter City left-back Dean Moxey, another summer signing, will still be suspended when the Gulls go to Bromley - he can also play in the centre - but his three-game ban will be finished by the time Torquay face Chesterfield at home on Tuesday night.
Saturday’s goalscoring midfielder Connor Lemonheigh-Evans limped off holding a hip on Tuesday, and Johnson reports that striker Andrew Nelson is still a couple of weeks away from returning from his injury, so it may still be a couple of games before Johnson has a stronger squad to choose from.

Johnson said: “I was pleased with the result and our performance [against Stockport] because it was active and we were determined not to lose that game.

“Then we had a very good first half on Tuesday and went 1-0 up and looked comfortable - we should have been 3-0 up with the chances that we had.

“In the second half unfortunately we had a few enforced changes and it wasn’t as bright and as good as it was in the first half. And that coincided with their team getting going and getting the energy and oxygen to come at us - because they felt that they could.

“Credit to Eastleigh because they did throw numbers forward. Funnily enough, we still had one or two chances in that second half, but we certainly weren’t as cohesive as we were in the first.”

Johnson said the ‘injury problems are getting better’ but added: “When you get injured players coming back too quickly, you always have to manage them. I would rather talk about injuries after a win because people see it as a bit of an excuse after a loss.

“But we had a team that should have won that second game because they should have just gone on in the same way that they did in the first half.

“The injuries are getting better and we will have a bigger squad to choose from pretty soon.”

Torquay have two home games after the visit to Bromley with Chesterfield at Plainmoor on Tuesday followed by the visit of Dover Athletic on Saturday week.

Johnson added: “We are in there with the pack and it is only a couple of games but there are some very good teams in this league and you have got to be on song every week if you are going to get up with the leaders.

“You can’t afford a half here and a half there of not playing well because teams will punish you for that - as we can punish other teams if they drop below their standard.

“I have always said, every team has got it, but it has to be consistent. The most consistent team will end up winning the league.”

Side to face Bromley this afternoon:

Covolan, Wynter, Cameron ©, Lemonheigh-Evans, Wright, Andrews, Randell, Sherring, Britton, Nemane, Whitfield.

SUBS: MacDonald, Buse, Koszela, Slough, Warren.

PhilGull · Post by **PhilGull** » 10 Oct 2020, 14:38

Looks like a decent lineup all things considered. Warren, Buse and Koszela to come on late to protect the lead and add some pace up front against tiring defenders...

Looks like a 352 again then with Wynter, Cameron and Sherring at the back?

HT - 1-0 to Bromley

Not a lot of action really

We've had decent posession but final 3rd has been poor

Curling finish from their CB on the edge of the area into the bottom corner after we dont clear a corner
