The amount of lifelines we are being given by other results. A shame we cannot take the opportunities presented to us.

Oh yeah, Mark. Like we're really going to do a job on Yeovil Saturday and Eastbourne will let it all slip up against the Chips. :?:
Not.

I don’t think he meant that, I think he’s alluding to the other many results that have gone our way only for us to screw up the opportunity to gain ground, it’s happened many times.

Not talking about Yeovil. How many poor performances have we put in recent weeks when we've had opportunities against lower teams. Hemel, Truro, Eastbourne, Taunton. 3 of those being against teams around us who we are now praying have a monumental collapse

We have left it too late to salvage it.

I'm sorry about that, I thought you meant that Taunton are trying their hardest to help us out and that you expected some sort of miracle down at Yeovil now.
I meant it was all a bit too late.
If anyone thinks or is hoping Yeovil will do us any favours having wrapped up promotion and the championship and are going to party on Saturday had better think again.
I think it will be a showcase game of football and they will deliver for the crowd.
Sadly there will be little sympathy for our predicament.
Apologies.

Full respect to the Darts fans who are going today as really the Team doesnt deserve it based on the seasons performances {?} , I have written the season of although I will be at PP for the Truro game for some banter with the regular lads , no real interest in the game unless Ade plays several Academy lads and certainly will NOT be staying afterwards to see who wins the "Player[?] of the season }

For me , it ALL starts whatever League we will be in and IF Ade [ or any other decent Manager ] is in charge and doing a great job[ eg recruitment / promoting Academy lads etc] then I am 100% on board and will buy a season ticket[ once again] in good faith !!!!

Another point deduction for Torquay today, fielding an eligible player!

Ade Pennock now saying he hopes that Yeovil will be celebrating right up to Saturday 3pm.
Also admitting that we have lacked quality.
One hopes, whatever the outcome, he will sort out the problem good and proper in the summer 🌞.
At the moment I'm hoping that the Yeovil squad are legless on Saturday

I can't believe the National League. It was weeks ago that I mentioned on this Forum that Torquay would be deducted a point for fielding an ineligible player against Aveley. Taking so much time over this and the Slough v Bath abandonment is a joke - especially at the business end of the season.

While it’s devastation for us there’s an interesting battle for the last relegation spot between Eastbourne and Taunton

I don’t think Hemel or Torquay are out of the equation either, Kent.

Especially as Hemel's last game (their only one) is away at Taunton! Torquay do have the potential saving grace that their last game is at home to Havant and Waterlooville.

Thinking of going to Taunton next Saturday to cheer Dowse on to a double success!!! LOL

Is that match actually being played at Taunton or Gloucester?

Taunton are at home to Torquay on Tuesday. Defeat for Torquay would put them in the bottom four.
