Torquay home match day thread

Which simple chances would they be? We didn't create any. Poor day at the office but stole a point.

Clarkes been great coming off the bench this season he's still young but he's played a very important part in our season so far.
I think your being harsh , ok today he wasn't great but in general I think he's been ok and he's still young and is probably going to get better and not worse

The whole experience today was muted. The crowd were quiet, as if everyone was suffering a massive hangover and didn't want to make too much noise. The players didn't seem particularly interested and I was groaning at the number of misplaced passes and the fact we seemed to be second to every ball. Sinclair was wasted and appeared lost out wide, and whenever we moved down the flanks all our players seemed to get sucked towards the ball and there was no-one in the middle.
I saw the Trotman incident clearly, he was contesting a ball then having won it poked it straight out, stopped in his tracks and clutched the back of his thigh. I said to my lad "He's pulled his Hamstring, that's the last we'll see of him for a couple of weeks" Luckily we had Mr Dependable to replace him and I have to say M.M. looked a better player and marshalled the defence well.

I think the penalty was a fair enough award; they had been wrestling our players in the area all afternoon and getting away with it. I didn't see us getting anything from today's game so the draw seemed like a win in the end.

In my opinion we need to get De la Verde back if at all possible; he would have murdered them down the flanks. We could have had Aguero and Suarez in attack and they wouldn't have scored either with the lack of service to the middle.

He hit another excellent long range strike again today. Just didn't go wide enough of the keeper. We could easily be singing his praises and celebrating a win tonight.    However, his use of the ball was poor generally today tbh. I wouldn't want to lose him though.

Yeh me neither he's a great sub to bring on when we're winning and he's chipped in with goals.
The only reason he's started today was because of our lack of wingers , Sinclair got push out there ( mistake) so Ollie filled in.7
New winger please DC or LDV would be great if it can happen ?

He's ok. Buy before the game I said I was nervous with him starting and I was proved right by an abysmal first half performance.

When we play Sinclair out wide and lose the shape of 2 wide men we struggle. I dont know why DC does not get that. Minor moan aside its been a good four games and you cant win them all. Still think he tinkers too much though :-)

I couldn't understand that one, he tore Torquay apart on the wing, carried on against Macclesfield, gets dropped (I don't accept he was injured) then comes on in midfield!

Surely logic would suggest you put Gosling on the wing & Sinclair back in the middle.

Also why drop McChrystal, our Captain, after he was outstanding against Macclesfield. If he wanted to give Trotman another game why not play him on Sunday but why tinker with a winning team anyway?

Parkes missed two free headers. Sinclair forced a good save from the keeper, shooting high from the middle of the box. Harrison had the keeper look on when he shot just past the post (not sure he was caught flat footed or confident the ball was going wide). Blissett dragged one back with his heel that went straight to the keeper, but could have gone anywhere. Monkhouse had a defender throw his body in the way of a goal bound shot in the final minute.
