Hall and bauress really do not bring anything to the midfield, very frustrating to watch today

Keep spouting off that your aiming for better than 7th Casson I think we've established you've made several false promises!!!!! Not a clue what I just witnessed for the last 2 hours but it was a shambles from when I walked in the ticket office and there were no programmes at 2pm???? JOKE the whole club on and off the park!!!
Two Torquay fans went into the club shop at 1415 for programmes.Sold out was the reply.
complete joke that there was only 75 programmes on sale inside the ground someone made a big error today and all because they had a few leftover from tuesdays game :shock:

Panayioutou and Bauress aren't Conference standard it's as simple as that. If you're a manager selecting them then neither are you.

Harry did ok imo. Bauress weak link I'm afraid. But they're not the engine room are they?
Hall is a big disappointment. We miss Alex Harvey without doubt. When he returns we will be better and at the tea party.
The 532 is useless. Too much space and today Torquay exploited. Our wing backs never got foeward or back to cover. A decent team today would have stuffed us .
Defending we're good but goals win games.
I really hope Paul Casson reads these posts and acts.

Agree with that soulboy apart from the Harry bit who is utterly clueless imo. Torquay had far too much time and space on the ball from the 1st to the 90th minute. They're bottom of the league ffs and were unlucky not to win. Moore did nothing at half-time to remedy his tactics, he's as useless as Harry, get rid of both asap.

Only thing i will say about today is this.
People saying how they want to see us play "beautiful football" how did we score today? Long punted ball flicked on.
"Playing football" has done nothing for us. If we want to be successful we need to be horrible and ugly

Harry works hard and has potential. He will come good eventually.
Bauress is not up to this level yet and shouldn't have been signed up.
We were beaten before the start.
Players showed no passion. Managers weak as probably been told they're out.
Torquay not a good outfit but they ran rings around us.
A decent manager would transform us. We have some vg players but they require directions.
Under coxy we would have eaten last two home games.

Seems like not all is rosy in the Holker Street garden. Time for some leadership on and off the field. Time for Mr Holt.

I cannot agree with posters who think Harry P is up to National League Standard. There may be the occasional good pass but most of the time he lopes along following play a few yards short of actually being involved.

Young Harry is not the problem. Not young bauress.theyre young lads learning.
We don't have much experience. This a young squad.
I don't think we should have such.....a few 30 us players would help.
Let's get a new manager in and see what develops eh?

Would say Bauress has been dropped in the mire like a few things. He's not physical enough yet for full games at this level but I wouldn't want to see the young lad blamed for it. Someone mentioned going back to playing the long ball, thought they same yesterday but I think we'd struggle with that considering the stature of the side at the moment. As well as a manager we need another experienced striker that's for certain

He's not THE problem, but he's a terrible excuse for a footballer. One good touch here and there doesn't make up for the other 10 that bounce off his knees, or him falling over if someone breathes on him.
That powder-puff effort deep in injury time that just needed side-footing home or even across goal, it was pathetic.
Sadly, he's not the only one not good enough for this level.
