Torquay.
Just watched the highlights of last nights game.Not many teams would have stopped the first two goals.Classic free-kick and a thunderbolt of a shot from outside of the box.Some of our defending looked pretty awful and when we did attack it wasn’t with any purpose.Why can’t we have any updates on AAH or Harry Parsons at least they might give us something to look forward to.

Re: Torquay.
Well…I was actually there and watched the full game. I’d agree the first two goals were very hard to stop for any team. Torquay bossed the first half though, with the Bluebirds offering very little in the final third. Colwell did ok down the right hand side. After the 3rd, Torquay sat back and invited pressure. We had a number of good chances but every one either went over the bar or straight at the keeper. A classic case of one team being entirely clinical in front of goal, and the other somewhat wasteful. At the end of the day away to Torquay is not the sort of fixture that defines the season for us, although after that it’s hard to build any confidence going into Saturday.

Re: Torquay.
Yep Saturdays game will really tell us if we have the balls to get out of this mess.
A struggling bottom four side like us.
Lose and the Chairman might be forced into a decision.

Re: Torquay.
If you’d have told me pre-season we’d be playing a six-pointer against Dagenham, I wouldn’t have thought it would at be this end of the table…

Re: Torquay.
Unbelievable performance.
That’s more like it!
I’m a fickle CTFC supporter who has long ago abandoned them. Decided to give them another chance.
Every player was exceptional.
MOTM Henry - unbelievable performance.
Just shows this relegation fight is far from over!

Re: Torquay.
Boy have we missed Freddie Grant, proper player who just gets it. Two goalline clearances plus the crucial assist on his first home start of the year. A lot still to do, but there’s a chance…

Re: Torquay.
Apart from a very good team performance with exceptional displays by Will and Freddie I also thought the ref was fair to both sides which hasn’t always been the case this season.

Re: Torquay.
Couldn't attend but heard the goal and the final celebration. A famous win for sure- if only the teams above us hadn't grabbed points too we'd be off the bottom. We need them to slip up as well as getting wins like this as the gap to last safe league place is wide. Our goal difference is horrible too and it's probably too late to do anything about this.In Freddie we trust though

Re: Torquay.
We won a battle not the war.Defence well marshalled by Will Henry( don’t often watch us defend at such close quarters)But why is it so difficult to finish one on ones against a goalkeeper.
