Thanks for confirming

The players were good, it was just Owers was unable to mould them into a winning team.

Good point - thank you for correcting me!

If we had beaten Dorking and drawn with Wealdstone, which was the state of the games when Evans and Lapslie got sent off, we would have been above the relegation places today.
Of course we may have conceded anyway but for all the (justifiable) concern about, selection, tactics and lack of quality players, it could be these two moments that cost us dearly.
That Dorking game was so crucial and we blew it.

I agree that Dorking game seems so important. In the 5 matches before that game our form was actually pretty good with 10 points from 5 games. Our only defeat was Notts County and we had wins against Barnet, Halifax and Maidstone.

Now look at our results since Dorking and they are shocking with just 1 point from the next 5 games. We’re now too far away and relegation is all but inevitable. A win at Gateshead may give us a glimmer of hope but even then it’s a big ask.

Yes a win at Gateshead would maintain glimmer hope, especially as Dorking are so poor (form since 1st Jan significantly worse than ours) but anything less and we may as well start planning for next season and Hornchurch away.

Look we are not staying up. Get used to it. We've no chance.

Brucie is right...... whatever happened to Wivelgull who used to say that ? Hope he's alright.

I think Brucie forgot his second password…

We're staying up just to upset Somersetgulp

Well we were losing when Solihull got sent off and guess what we lost....the only recurring theme I can say is we keeping losing.

I'm sure this is the worst Torquay team in living memory. With Lapslie now with a three game ban, Collins must likely out with a groin problem, and probably no forward on the bench between now and the end of the season can anyone honestly seeing us winning enough games to stay up.

Think we will be lucky to win one more game myself.

No I can't see us picking up enough points to stay up.
In terms of the points, if we beat Gateshead and Dagenham and Dorking keep losing, yes there's a chance, but we don't look like a team about to go on the winning run that's needed.

I called it the other evening, I said if we were beaten by Solihull and Wealdstone it was "good night Vienna" and I kinda stand by that, it's not over mathematically, but to win 6 in 10 would be some going, a lot of fans now stating the "what if" scenario.....what if we hadn't let in last min goals, had numerous players not sent off,not had a dodgy ref.....the thing is, every team in the league would or could tell you exactly the same,if you spin it around, you could say we were lucky to get the wins at Southend and Halifax away, and I remember Dorking at home/Altrincham, that's a fair amount of points when to be blunt, we probably deserved nothing, the season is the season, not individual one offs, or because of this or that, it's over the 46games, and you end up in the table where you deserve to. ..It's not yet over, as Stuart Morgan said many years ago,to paraphrase him, untill your 4 points adrift with one game to go, it's not over....Just going to take a huge effort to do this.
