Torquay United v Scunthorpe United - 5/4/14

Ok Chris, fair's fair. Can you just go for broke in this and at least give us something to be entertained with. This means going thin at the back, flooding the middle with our most creative players even though there are none and dispensing with the usual running around with no apparent motive mob that play at the minute. Get players forward, play Bodin up top or not at all and play Coulthirst from the start and all the other players more likely to get us a goal. It excludes Hawley for your information.
It's not game up yet but if we play like we have been doing since Chris took over we will lose this game. Please do not do this Chris. If we opt for a more dangerous, risky approach then we will still lose the game but we may lose it 4-2 having a real good go and providing some entertainment at last for the long suffering Plainmoor public whilst getting a bit of respect back for at least having the guts to give it a crack.
It's all there for you in black and white to do as you please Chris, there is nothing to lose whatsoever. EVERYONE thinks we will lose this game anyway AND play crap so we may as well lose it and play well. I know that come 3pm on Saturday we'll have a 4-4-2 with the same old faces in the same old positions and it won't work but maybe, maybe I will be surprised? I hope so, for the fans who will be there. Try it Chris, the fans deserve this at the very least. A free pint won't cut it anymore. Mathematically it is still possible to survive, a couple of wins and we'd be right back in there to have a last crack of the whip but we simply aren't going to beat a side like Scunthorpe playing like we do every week. It's just not going to happen unless we get lucky with a few refereeing decisions.
If you must go 4 at the back then fine but just get rid of players who don't create like Harding, Mansell, Lathrope and fill in the gaps with players that can. If they can't tackle then they shouldn't be walking onto a football pitch.
I think there may be a fair few from North East Lincs making the trip and it gives them an opportunity to rub inadequacy and complacency in our faces. Wycombe managed a draw up there the other day, says it all about us really. Draws are ok for Wycombe but not for us. We might very well hang on to a resilient draw if we're lucky but it's no good ultimately. I'd rather lose. We need wins and we need one on Saturday. Tackle the issue head on and DEMAND this victory, YEARN for this victory and EARN this victory.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the game itself, yes, nothing to lose, have a pop at them, and get the ball down and pass it, personally do not think I will going to this game however, depends on my lad, Kingsteignton have a cup semi-final, if he's in the team will going there instead.
