A good point and I enjoyed the game even though at times was backs to the wall stuff I was very suprised at some of the team selection I am hoping this was down to he fact we was down to bare bones etc. Fagan started in cm for me I would of had Jamal the tank in there and Fagan at cb then 2nd half Williams off and Corne in his place at rb yet again I would of had Fagan There and Corne in cm but was a good battling display and very pleased with the point at the fortress of PVR. Happy new year all COYW.
Very good performance, you could see what the team was trying to do and all of this without a single training session. Penny played well considering they had some big players, the two up front made bush look small :)
Very well done to the squad (what there is of it) today. A huge effort from minute one to ninety four. Why wasn't their 4 red carded for his blatant foul on Charlie first half. If our away form was half as good as our home form we'd be mid table comfortably by now. Keep going boys on Thursday. Reinforcements are surely on their way.
Really good performance today and thought Jake was superb. Was worried after his first half booking but he controlled his game very well after and was driving us on to try and win the game. Can only assume Barney was injured as was playing well.
Really looking forward to the new manager bringing in some signings in January to strengthen the squad.
Ref had a mare. Halfway line assault in the first few minutes, the right back did a very late and high foul by the touchline then a stamp. Blatant elbow by number 4 in the second half.
Totally inept display by the ref but countered by a good performance from the Wings.
Hopefully we won't have to play 13 again for a while when we should have been playing 9.
Rode our luck for about 15 mins 2nd half then looked more comfortable and started going forward again. Strange to see Corne at right back but he settled and it allowed the rest of the team to stay as they were. Shame for Barney who had a very good 1st half. Thought Gallagher was immense today (apart from the trademark yellow card) and seemed to have more licence to bomb forward. Healy performed well for the team and Fyfield was his usual immaculate self. Well done to Henly for a solid display in goal. Might have nicked it with more of a cutting edge (full marks to Penny for effort though) but draw a fair result.

21 stamped on Fagan in the six yard box in the first half and laughed trying to get him to retaliate.

Horrible team.
Poor horrible team, I know the standard of the Conference isn't great but Torquay were really poor I thought, bearing in mind a good number of our team had played 3 games in 5 days, and one of those went to extra time, but we more than matched them over 90 minutes.
Another us and them refereeing performance we are used to especially from yesterdays ref who managed to ref us to two losses in the season we won the league.
Tackle on Penny on halfway was a borderline red, no card given, Stamp on Fagan, no different to Turners red at Southport, not even free kick given, Elbow on Healy's face, free kick given no card. If that was us we would have got 3 red cards.
You just sigh and its never ending. All very clear and baffling.
