Probably jinxing it now but we have been very strict with our squad over Covid protocols and haven't had a single game off for it (at our end) so hopefully you should be fine for a trip to the Riviera. Torbay does have the fourth highest Covid levels in England at the moment though.

Fantastic work as always Lee, I'll stick it on a couple of our forums (not the one with the tin foil hat nutters though). Only typo I spotted was Klaidi Polos should be Klaidi Lolos. Personally can't see us lining up without Wright, got a feeling Johnson's going to go with a genuine front 2...

Bad news for Hartlepool as it seems we actually got promoted last year after all (at least according to the Bournemouth U-21's manager). https://www.afcb.co.uk/matches/under-21s/2021-22/torquay-united-v-afc-bournemouth-u21/

Holman's scored 3 better than that in the last week ;)

I expect Solihull are jacking up the prices of everything knowing the oil rich Welsh are coming to town.

Don't AFC Telford only exist because the original club spent too much money and went bust? Glad to see they've learned from that.

You haven't been given anything though, you've had a huge chunk of the money you were receiving taken away. Just because it's called a parachute payment doesn't change the fact that it's less than half of what you were getting.

We're up to a squad of 22 now (but 4 of them are first or second year pros which apparently don't count ;) ). I'm still expecting another centre half and a striker to come in (young loanees from the EFL probably) and maybe a couple our kids to be loaned out. Goalkeepers: Halstead Brzozowski...

Whilst the parachute payment is £500k more than the rest of us are getting it's still a damn sight less than you were getting last year.

Beat Bournemouth U-23's 4-0 last night with another couple of goals from Holman, five in a week from him. That's our last public game but I expect us to have a behind closed doors game at some point.

If Alan Connell is your idea of a decent non-league striker then I guess the standard must have been really shite back then. Never seen a player be offside (or just randomly fall over) more then Connell. Except Elliot Benyon obviously.

It's a badge of honour that only us truly shite clubs can hold :thumbs:

Not for me, he's got the work rate and is decent at tracking back to protect his full back but don't think he has the discipline for a more full time defensive role.

From his performances here I don't think Whitfield would work as a number 10. He's not one for finding pockets of space or threading passes, he needs space to run into to be effective.

Only as a Yoof though, he's from Torquay but he's one of the players we lost out on by closing our academy.

I don't really know what to expect with travelling numbers this season. On the one hand there is pent up demand due to not going in ages but on the other there are still plenty wary of travelling due to Covid. My Argyle supporting mate said they only took 1000 to Rotherham today which he...

Gabby Rogers scored a worldie against us for Tiverton in midweek. He repeated the trick today but this time for us against Chippenham. Think he was at Yeovil previously?

Alongside Danny Wright, Asa Hall and Aaron Downes (he's Johnson's assistant these days). We're getting the gang back together ;) .

He's done bugger all for 5 years (actually announced his retirement in February!) but he's still only 31 and has looked fit in our friendlies and scored a few goals (another one today against Chippenham). Worth a punt I reckon.
