Torquay visit Saturday. They lost at Weston tuesday 2.3. There away record is not good. This is a big chance for another win and jump into the play off places for us.

Quietly confident about this one, hopefully, that doesn't jinx things! Torquay are performing very poorly at the moment, and there is a lot of discontent towards Gary Johnson and the owner there. Add onto the fact we are bang in form, I see no reason why we can't pick up another win here.

Should be another bumper crowd for this.

Think we can get at least a point, but confident of getting all three.

Not many of their fans are optimistic, according to this:

Another great win in front just under 1,500 and up to 6th. Who would have thought it after Lewes? First half we carried on from where we left off on Tuesday scored a very good goal, albeit last touch came off a defender, and then Seymour converted another penalty just before half time after being bundled over. At the other end we didn’t give too many chances. Second half was something of a siege on our goal as we seemed to tire rather but the defence held firm, Inman and Fernandez, repelling cross after cross. Not much happening going forward until Bloomfield lobbed their keeper in added time. Torquay got a very late consolation with seconds to go.

Another win 3.1. Takes us up to 6th and in playoffs. I had to go to a wedding but listened to Bbc radio Devon. They made Torquay sound like world beaters 2nd half.

They did have about 80% possession to be fair but couldn’t break us down.

Hopefully Worthing & Torquay don't benefit from their games in hand which otherwise would drop a down a few places

Just 10 points covers 2nd place down to Eastbourne in 19th. A couple of wins or defeats makes a lot of difference in terms of places just now.

What a win.
Mel has to be manager of the month?
