Torquay United v Maidenhead, ko 19.45 - 03/10/17

Difficult one (well ain't they all at the moment) to call, but as I sit here with my half empty Torquay Mug of tea (that's the mug, not the tea) I can't see a win, maybe scrape a draw with Maidenhead scoring in 90+10

Not really sure why but I will be attending tonight.
Expecting nothing from the game.
All hope and optimism has deserted me.
Wont be deflated if we lose and wont be elated if we win.
Its got to that stage for me now if we don't manage a win tonight I cant honestly see myself bothering again in the near future.

It's been a pleasant day in the sunshine - time for some evening autumnal fresh air.

3 up in dreamland

I've always really enjoyed Tom Petty's music, and was very sad to hear of his early death, but I don't see why the BBC had to cut off the last two or three minutes of the online commentary in order to play one of his songs.

I'm going to try to not get to carried away with this performance but I have to say the one word that sums up tonight's performance is PROFESSIONAL.
Every aspect of tonight's performance was in total contrast to what I have witnessed for a number of seasons.
With the game delayed for half an hour the whole squad was relentlessly put through its paces in every aspect by Martin Khul drilling them in military style in quick movement, short passing and shooting practice.
Quite entertaining but you could sense a real steely determination tonight and everyone HAD TO do their job OR ELSE.
Khul and Owers will take no prisoners that's for sure and will upset one or two in the process, not that there was any sign of that on a night when we played some of the best football for a very very long time.
The new signings have added so much more quality to the line up and the likes of Luke Young and Jamie Reid have raised their own games accordingly.
Both had exceptional games tonight though all of the players can look back with huge satisfaction in how they performed.
Not a single poor performance tonight everyone knew their job and did as instructed for the full ninety minutes.
This wasn't a poor Maidenhead side that were rushed onto the pitch after a hold up on the motorway they were given plenty of time and looked prepared. We were just too good for them and for once came out of the blocks with intent well before they could take any initiative which was key to our dominating and taking the game to them from the off.
We already look fitter and stronger and I must say how impressed I was with Liam Davis - looks like the best left wing back we've had at the club for many a year. Such a shock to see players with a bit of quality in Gulls shirt.
I'll leave the match report details to others we scored four very good goals and could well have had a couple more.

If all the other games were down to Kev and the players he bought then last night must also be kevs fault as well. Can't see how it can be one way then the other.
