Gary Johnson takes charge of his 194th Torquay game and hopefully not his last. A win ratio so far with us of over 47 % ! Can he possibly make it into our 200 club ?

The opening post could resemble us a few seasons ago, top v bottom what could possibly go wrongâŠin our case everything!
Sadly, other teams at the top donât have the same habits that we have, and invariably put teams at the bottom to the sword! đĄ
Looking forward to the match. đ

I donât think I have ever gone in to a TUFC game absolutely certain that we will lose and fully expecting that we will lose heavily.
As things stand, I would be pleasantly surprised if we came away with a better result than we did at Wrexham.
I really hope these words will look ridiculously pessimistic come 5 oâclock. I would be delighted if I have to admit I got it badly wrong.
No point asking if we will have 16 fit. Will we have 11 fit? Will we have 3 or 4 on the bench?
Surely some incoming.... but I said that for the last few games.
We lose Jarvis from Tuesdayâs 15. If Moxey, Hall and Lapslie all 100% fit, we could field a decent eleven. They wonât be. Cross fingers for two fit and maybe one on the bench if we are lucky.
Nemane will have a field day if we start with Omar left-centre-back and De Silva left-wing-back and no Hall or Moxey.
Sorry to sound so negative.
Come on you Yellows!

We all know of the atributes of Mark Ellis. You cannot argue that he's a committed defender and has experience at our level and higher. Might work out might not but I cannot see who else would be willing to come in the situation were in. The other two lads are what we have come to expect young, looking for games and from league clubs. Can't see what else the manager can do to be fair.
Surely our luck has to turn in a minute with signings and officials dodgy decisions. May not be today in fact highly unlikely we will get anything from today but the injury list is still looking bleak and seems to get worse by the day.

So 15 less one banned less one injured (Crowe) less one loanee left out (Okoli) = 12. Add two loanees and one trialist gets us back to 15.
At least our four on the bench includes one forward albeit a trialist. Ellis adds some experience. Ness for Okoli seems a straight swap (maxing us out at five loanees). I wonder if Okoli is injured, deemed not get enough or just pulled out of the fray for his own good.
