Gulls:1 U's:2

Once more, I have to bow to my better half’s superior football knowledge:

Her – We should go to Torquay at the weekend.

Me – Nah, it’ll cost loads, we’ll have to sit on the coach for about 12 hours, and we’re gonna get tonked.

Her – You’ll be surprised. I reckon we’ll go there and beat them.

Not that I’m unhappy to be wrong in this instance. An unexpected but great result for the boys again, one which should give our faltering promotion charge some renewed momentum. In a way it’s a shame we have to play a cup game next weekend - it would have been nice to take the confidence into a league match and build a little run of two or three wins on the bounce to cement our position in the play offs.

Also, fair play to JQ for playing three strikers against the leagues top scorers, when others (ie. me) would have been inclined to put in an extra midfielder. It was a bold move, but one which paid dividends.
