Torquay thread
 

Knill is under a lot of pressure and the fans seem to think he will be given only 2 more games to turn it round. I'm just wondering if the uncertainty will work in our favour, or will he step up to the plate and get his players to perform? Apparently he lacks the passion that the fans are looking for, and there are rumours that their ex player, Chris Hargreaves is being lined up for his job. As long as we play with our recently acquired positivity and application I'm not worried about the result whatever they decide to do!

Re: Torquay thread
 

There's only worrying aspect and that is, IMHO, Stanley's tendency to play well against clubs above them and get dragged down by clubs below them. And is this, other than the first game of this season (courtesy of the alphabet), the first time Stanley will be playing a team below them?:)
Other semi-interesting stat on Torquay this season is that they are in the top two of teams committing fouls but have very few yellow cards. Either they commit a lot of mild infringements or ( like Brazil ) (who...Torquay? ) commit bad fouls around the half way line before there appears to be any chance of a goal scoring opportunity.
Let's just hope Stanley continue to improve their shots on target ratio.

If we play like we did at Scunthorpe, Torquay should stop at home.;)

Re: Torquay thread
 

I seem to recall we were above Hartlepool (1 point against 0) when we went there. But they kicked on well once we gave them their first 3 points.

But it does seem to me that, over the last few seasons, we don't tend to make things worse for teams in trouble :(

Re: Torquay thread
 

I would think that knowing we would otherwise be back in the relegation spot would spur us to a win, with ambition to reduce the goal defecit,

Re: Torquay thread
 

This won't be an easy game,they will put 10 players behind the ball and look to counter/set pieces.
Concentration and patience will be key,together with a good work ethic.
JB will know this,and we don't want to conceed first to give them something to hold onto

Re: Torquay thread
 

Agree, always hard when a side comes n parks the bus, but feel if our form continues we will win no doubt.:)

Agree. Beware a wounded animal, especially one that was able to beat Bury 1-3 at the beginning of this month. At least they no longer have Howe to torment our CBs.
Shoot on sight, score first.

Re: Torquay thread
 

Blimey! That first poster on there makes Dav007 sound optimistic - sure hope he right about the 3 points to us though :)

Re: Torquay thread
 

Same team as Scunthorpe last weekend.

3 points :) ................


If only if it was that simple :P

Re: Torquay thread
 

I'm sorry, but we're just not allowed to play Scunthorpe two weeks running, however much we'd like another three points guaranteed.

Re: Torquay thread
 

And as last weeks display from the Reds brought about the demise of one, albeit not very competent, Manager. Will another victory today bring about the same result ?.
If so will Aidy Boothroyd not be feeling slightly paranoid during the week ahead after today's potential defeat at Hartlepool ?.
ps... Don't want to appear sadistic but.........
