FL2: Torquay United vs Newport County - 22nd March 2014

TUFC - sad to say but I think we are FUCT!

I am not convinced Zebrowski's winner was deflected. I had a clear view of it sat just behind in the Family stand. My view is that he dinked it beautifully over Rice - it was a quality finish and Zebs knew exactly what he was doing.

As for the sending off incident, I've had a good look on the T.V. highlights. It would appear Goodwin did lead with his elbow and caught the Newport player. I doubt the Newport player faked it as he rolled on the floor, he probably was genuinely caught by Goodwin's elbow. I doubt it was intentional on Goodwin's part, just a bit naive. It will probably be something he will learn from experience. And that leads me to my point. We have been too reliant all season on inexperienced loanees who are trying to learn their trade and they will at times make naive mistakes. I am not convinced this policy has really helped us at all.

I've done the same and the Newport player clearly leads with his elbow first

A dreadful refereeing decision not helped by the Newport player faking injury. Maybe we should put something on Twatter for the FA to investigate as they seem to prosecute on a whim!
Zebroski clearly gives Shamire a little nudge in the back when he is about to jump which adds momentum.
Nothing will be done about it referees are a law unto themselves, we will have to pay the price along with Shamire as its pointless appealing as only the Arsenals of this world can afford to appeal wrong or unjust decisions.
Still think we would have struggled we cant score with eleven on the pitch so it was a completely lost cause after we went down to ten. Full marks to the players they kept at it as much as they could even though it was awful to watch and through perseverance nearly stole a point at the death.

When you look at our approach play from wing back through midfield we simply offer little threat and struggle to compete and pass the ball , all the forwards can rely on then for supply is a long hoof from the back. Sadly its been that way all this season and most of last. No creativity little pace equals few chances for the forwards that is where our troubles lie not necessarily in the front line where Elliot has to run his guts out to get the ball. Craig Isn't the answer Billy is a waste of space and money - never plays or gives all for ninety minutes,drifts out of games constantly, doesn't score goals, and doesn't create chances for those around him. As much as I wanted him to succeed he has been the singular biggest disappointment over the last two seasons and he was a Ling signing that cost the club hugely. We have chopped and changed the front line all season when the problems lie in the middle of the park surely an intelligent and knowledgeable manager recognises this?

Cheers Pete
