Josh Gowling signs for....

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Gunning was just part of a problem made by Bignot not the cause of the problem, personally I would have selected Gowling ahead of him every week.

I can't see how Bignot ever perceived that a player who had been languishing in the 2nd tier of Scottish football after a chequered career to date would have added anything sensational to last seasons squad or ahead of a model pro like Josh, clearly he was "a signing for the future" that "future" being elsewhere.  

  

You don't like Bignot? You've never said.

Quoted from Garth

Looking back on jt now Marcus and Gunning are two people that I want to eradicate completely from my memory.

Marcus because he was a know nothing bullsh1tter who just was not up to the job, and Gunning who also was out of his depth and stood in the way of Gowling, who in my mind was streets ahead of him.

Who released Gowling at the end of the season? Surely if he was the kind of player needed for a promotion push to League 1, RS would have seen that and kept him?

I can't believe some of the shite that is posted on here at times. Anyone would think bignot was the next Newell and got us relegated again. In reality, it was one of the harshest, if not the harshest, sacking in the club's history. Non of us can truly know how he would've done and yet some people seem to hate him, it's pathetic.

I don't think anyone hates MB. I think a lot of people, myself included were disgusted with the way he handled the clubs senior pros, silly formations, getting rid of all the wingers..... I could continue.
MB's problem is that he tried to run before walking and that cost us a play-off place. Simple as that.

Could you let us all know where we're going to finish next season so we can all have a big bet on it..

Not only did he run, but it seems he failed to take all the players with him.

Cost us promotion? Wasn't his average points very similar to hursts?

I know a lot of fans look at us only being nine points or so short of the play-offs, but looking at the manner of how we played under all three managers in a lot of games, I thought the points total we achieved was quite a few more than our performances deserved.

We were way off a play-off side.We beat a few of the top sides as a one-off but were way off the quality necessary to regularly play the bottom sides off the pitch.

I can think of less than ten games out of forty six where we played well and less than that when we dominated..


Edit.. Josh Gowling is an extremely good signing for Torquay.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Only the players knew the real Marcus Bignot we got the bulshit version but there did seem to be some discord amongst players who were getting unfairly treat in favour of others ie Gunning. The alledged incident with the young keeper sounded very unsavoury. As far as Josh goes he seemed frozen out altogether but he did do some great work when in non league winning THAT penno against Braintree was key to us beating them.

Good luck Josh another player with fond memories that I am sure was shared between player and fans alike.

Have you never seen that game then? The defender grabbed his shirt. How do you win a penalty like that? Telekinesis? It's not like Josh ran in front of him and got tripped - he wasn't a cheat like that.
