Gateshead v Torquay United - 18th March 2023

Here we go again then. Please can we keep all of our players on the field, avoid injuries, play well for the full game and get 3 points?

We definitely need a bit of luck to go our way but also cannot feel sorry for ourselves.

Your thoughts and predictions?

Think 1-1, must sound very ignorant, but Gateshead are one of those teams I know little about, obviously know Mike Williamson, and Montgomery (keeper) is decent keeper, but they strike me as team that don't score many, quite hard to play against?, From what I gather, they struggled last week against Farsley Celtic, winning the penalty shhot out, From hearing Mike Williamson on twitter, he's bigging this game up, billing it as their biggest of the season, they know if they do us, with games in hand, they'll put a bit of daylight between themselves and us, thinking 1-1, but if we've got a makeshift back 4 again, I'd be worried we could get beat, does depend on our defence/personel who play.

The 3 points of no return, we simply have to win...but we say this every week ! We have either lost or drawn pretty much every 6 pointer so far and even Johnson is now calling every game a cup final. Not so long ago some comedian on here thought it was early in the season for to mention a 6 pointer...I wish. Hope we come away with the 3 points, it really is non negotiable now. The added experience hopefully should help, but Laps will be a massive loss today. Hats off to all the Yellow Army that have made this awful trip each and every one of you are a credit to our club. Safe trip guys.

1-1 draw I reckon, enough to keep us mathematically alive but nothing more. I can see Yeovil and dorking losing and Scunthorpe winning. Big game

Yet ANOTHER six point match where we get nothing, that is why we are going down.

Pathetic - how many dire teams have we lost to in the last couple of months

Is this the worst Torquay team ever?

Yes probably the worst team I’ve ever seen. We’re going down without a whimper.

Fantastic effort by the 173 fans who made the trip today
