Love that there is yellow on the away kit for a change. Very nice 👌

Amazing… can’t wait to hear the new stuff. The last two albums have been brilliant.

Boreham (H) - Despite having the dubious honour of being present at all ten defeats this season, this didn’t feel like the worst one.
Proud of everyone connected with our club, in the first year of this new era!

Aveley (A) - Tricky to get to, but the boys rewarded the travelling Yellow Army with a late winner. Fifth win in six games. It’s on!! @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Dorking (A) - Unexpected win today in Surrey. First away win I have seen since October, and I’ve only missed 5 away games! Superb support from the Yellow Army, and perfect performance from the boyssss 👌 @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

I couldn’t make it yesterday, but I don’t recognise these comments from the Torquay United I’ve seen recently: “Torquay were good enough in possession to limit the hosts to few real opportunities”, and “a really strong midfield.”. If true, then we’re winning the lot, Clive 👌

Eastbourne (H) - Battle of the seaside retirement hotspots 😉. So happy to see a win at long last after a series of disappointing results. Some solid performances today from the boys in yellow and blue 👍 @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Maidstone (A) - This was meant to be a celebratory picture, but alas, it was indeed a fourth defeat in four Maidstone away fixtures for me. Maybe I was getting carried away, but it was a tight game today, and there are still 17 games to go 😬. Time to crack out the vintage shirts

Maidstone (A) - Let’s hope this one works! On my 5th change of shirt after trying home, away, third, and polo shirt in recent matches. Feeling lucky and excited attending my 10th league & cup match on the bounce 🤞

Hampton & Richmond (H) - Third consecutive game where we played well enough to win, but didn’t. I’m confident the results will come, and we’ll score plenty of goals with the attacking quality on show this last week.

Feels like a missed opportunity, but we’re overachieving already this season after building from scratch. It took Buckle two seasons to get promoted with a brand new squad. I think we’ll finish top 3 though, and we’ll be fine in the playoffs this time.

St Albans (A) - Great to catch up with everyone again. Superb following as ever from the Yellow Army. Still top, but still only won in Yellow and Blue @tufcofficial.bsky.social @torquaytalk.bsky.social #TUFC #COYY #DHAS

Mark Loram, Matt Elliott and Phil Lloyd were always good for a few beers around town in the early 90s, and I bet they have plenty of stories to tell, especially with the direction of Matt Elliott’s career

I’m going for 3-0 to Torquay. I think our team is much better matured that when we played them in August, and we have an imposing record at Plainmoor this season. Sorry Alan and Simon 😁
