I thought we really missed Mike Atkinson today. I think Odei is a great player, but he doesn't have the mobility that Mike has. And he was playing so deep that he was almost like a third centre-back. That meant Josh and Mauro got over-run in the centre of midfield. I think Torquay played like a lot ...

Interesting question, Tony. A difficult one to answer too, simply because this team plays so differently from last year's. But I can honestly say, I wouldn't swap any of them. Okay, maybe bring in Fernandez or Inman for a bit of strength at the back, but that would be it. They might not be the ...

Well, that was fun. What was really pleasing was this. We dominated the first half, but towards the end of it looked a little complacent, passing the ball around without really progressing it. But instead of keeping doing this in the second half, we upped the tempo and came out with even more ...

Totally agree, Josh, our best performance so far. I was talking last week about how we should lean into the fact that we DON’T have fast wingers but we DO have a good central midfield who are good at pass and move. As Pep says, it all begins in the middle. In the first half, we did this really well. ...

Deserved more, kind of. Thought we played well, offensively. We looked good when Jake got some passing combos going. We don't have lighting fast wingers, or marauding full backs, so I reckon we need to lean into this more. Still impressed by Josh, though he needs to impose himself on games more ...

Totally agree, Tony. Josh has this knack of always looking to carry the ball forward. And by doing that he brings other players into the game.

I do like our team. They try to play football. Salisbury came and tried to press us along the back but we didn’t panic and adapted well, which was good to see. We’re a good pass and move team when we stay close to each other. However, in the second half, for a time we stopped doing that, we got a bit ...

My thoughts. First half was good. Kris and Jayden combining well down the left hand side, Odei being a great pivot in the centre. Robbo being very tricky. Alex Wall surprisingly good facing the opposition as well as with his back to them. Generally good short interchanges with runners. Nice. Second ...

I enjoyed watching the little centre mid buzzing around always wanting to be on the ball like a non league Paul Scholes..again I have no idea of his name for the reasons already mentioned. Think that was Odei. Liked him too. Looked kind of bossy. Would be good to have a bossy central midfield this ...

Was Bumi the guy who replaced Wall in the second half? If so, for the time he was on he looked very lively. That kind of player, I think, would give Julian’s system more flexibility.

I enjoyed that. I think Jules has done a grand job in the few weeks he’s had with most of these players. Weren’t positive enough in the first half. But in the second, he got them looking to break lines. It’s still going to be hard. And I hope we don’t end up suffering from big man up top syndrome, wh ...

I would recommend that the club don't do 'Members' only events and really push things like this to all supporters to generate as much interest as possible, but if you don't try something you don't know if it will work or not so credit for that. Plus, as seen with the Euro's, there will be a ...
