This week I shall mainly be changing my tactics....
Now the thing is, I can't see us scoring in Brighton even if we had Julian Clary, Graham Norton and Louie Spence in the starting line up.!!!!
So this afternoon, I shall be going into Ladbrokes and having a ten spot on Brighton to win. Now backing against your own team is a sad indication of our club at the moment. However, and here's the clever bit.... I have only ever won once at football betting in twenty years of having football flutters. I never back a game involving my own club either. The thing is, if I back a team, it loses. I am a Jonah, I jinx teams, and they lose when I back them.
Granted, I don't bet every week, I may only bet 10/15 times a year, but when I do I may as well have thrown my money down the drain. I also usually only bet on sure fire winners... who would win, if I didn't back them.
So by that theory, backing Brighton to win is a sure fire way to ensure Wanderers do...

You do realise Torquay that if this works, you are going to have to throw money away every week from here on in by betting against us??!! Just hope you have the levels of betting cash needed to keep us up....
Despite this effort I can't see further than a 2-0 loss this weekend....

I shall have a donations page set up on facebook... any money I make from your donations I will honour by spending it unwisely.

Good question but after giving it some thought YES I do think he will still be our manager. 5 games with only 2 points gained and then Gartside will call it a day with Jimmy taking the reigns again. Trotter if we lose our next 3 games that would be 6 games played and only 1 point won, or are you suggesting giving him another 5 games on top of the 6 we will have already played? Just feel Gartside will not get rid of him easily due to money implications, it will cost a small fortune to get rid of him money we do not have I'm afraid, shame really because I would have got rid of him after the last game of last season and brought Someone else in.

Changing manager at the end of the season and let him work with the team from preseason? Are u crazy or what? That is the sensible way to change a clubs manager...so it's definitely how fat Phil rolls...he is a renegade!

1-0 Mills. set piece yet again..but we'll take that. looking at that Brighton team, who have they got??. Mackail Smith is ok, but rest aren't up to much. that's why i only went for a 1-0 loss, not a thrashing.

well, my bit of optimism didn't last long. at least i got their scorer right. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28815202usual fayre. possession for us = 36%. shots on target for us 1 ( 0 from open play). for them 9 !! 15 shots (on & off )combined for them. we'd already been averaging 19 per game. 15 already in one half!!. Crofts for them looks a good shout to score. already had 4 shots on target. at least we're still in the game. if we can summon up our usual attempt at playing 1 decent half we can still nick a point, but i'm probably trying too hard at this "optmistic" lark there !

2 conceded yet again. 5th game running. if you start tagging on last seasons games, there's 1 more at least with the 2-2 V Brum ! 70 mins gone..still no shots on target from open play..1 in total & that was the goal !
