Anyone know who the trialist is? He’s bloody good. Very composed, switched on and seems to be very involved and in the right places when he needs to be. Can’t tell if he’s one of the guys from the Poole match.

2-0 now after a goal from Louie Slough. But after Lapslie went of in the first half, Torquay really have struggled with controlling the game. Truro have been able to create way to many chances.

Just back from the game, took my 6yr old daughter for her first ever live game and she loved it!

Thought we played well, bit sloppy at times but with quite a few new faces it’s to be expected.

Stand outs for me were Marcin in goal, Ali Omar who is definitely no nonsense, talking and motivating the rest of the team. Thought Dan Martin was good when he moved to full back and Slough didn’t look at all out of place when he came on for the second half.

Think it was quite clear Olaf isn’t a right winger, he’s definitely bulked up and looks physically ready, think it would be great for him to get a chance up front to show if he’s capable. Also disappointing for Lapslie to go off injured, hope it’s not too serious as I think he will be vital this season.

Any news on Hall? Conor and Jake back tonight but no Asa.

Not too sure we can take too much from last nights outing, I agree Martin and Lapslie look the real deal, back four were shaky at times trying to do each others job and that needs sorting out becuase if we are shaky against a southern league outfit, albeit a good one we will certainly get found out by national league teams. We definetlely need an experienced head back there,on a positive with Omar I have no worries of us being bullied. Forward line was OK but only Wright knew how to find space, still not sure about Koszela, agreed he is not a winger he doesnt have the pace but there again he isnt an inside forward, he does not know how to play off people, the left back trailist looked useful and disciplined and knew his job and when to break forward down the right, Looking forward to saturday when we can get a realistic idea of where we stand.

Gary didn't seem happy in tbe interview.
He wants us on our full attacking game with 100% energy and commitment even in pre season friendlies . There is always the danger of a play off defeat hangover especially after the season we had, he is hell bent on making sure that doesn't happen I'm sure, and that we're at it from day one.

Let's not forget that it's the very point of pre-season football to get the team used to playing, iron out any issues and gear up for the season ahead! There's no one at the club who isn't still feeling the effects of the loss in Bristol, but I have faith in a very experienced GJ to mould the boys in to a solid side. SL
