Agree Mike, We had too many "Untouchables" during the Tisdale era, It should be about form not who they areIf Moxey, Taylor and Sweeney are not in good form I hope they don't become "untouchables".

Listening to the commentary there were definitely some 'tasty' challenges going in from both sides. The lads on commentary seemed to enjoy the game. If that's anything to go by then yes there was a bit more oomph.Would be interested to know what the tempo of the game was like. Yes it's a pre-season game, but just a week out from the real thing was there a bit more oomph about it?! That and I think Torquay would have loved the Devon double!
My worry is that Moxey seems to be slowing down more rapidly than WoodmanReading between the lines I think I'd prefer to have Sparkes at left back. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in pace and willingness to get forward. It's only natural that Moxey is slowing down a bit : he should be sub ready to cover left-side central defender or left back.
If Moxey, Taylor and Sweeney are not in good form I hope they don't become "untouchables".
Poor start, Torquay were up for it. Officiating a bit iffy. Grew into it massively.How did we play?
Hopefully a big season for all of them!Hopefully a big season for him.
Devine every time from those threeMcCarthy, Canham or Devine ???
Pretty much agree with all of that but thought Ward looked shaky. More than once in the first half he came over the top of players to get to the ball and failed to connect.Poor start, Torquay were up for it. Officiating a bit iffy. Grew into it massively.
Bowman started going for the 50/50s.
Williams looked good.
Parkes and Martin good pairing.
Ward comfortable with punching.
Sweeney knocked a few balls straight out.
Moxey best in most occasions.
Midfield were ok.
Ajose made good runs, great assist.
Law good.
Good tempo played it on the ground when needed and a few long balls when needed.
Overall, good entertaining match. Policing was a bit over the top. Massive detour leaving the ground. Every bobby in Torbay was there it seems.
