Isaac Hunt Stranded Whilst there is always a concern when a side doesn't perform against lower division opposition - the fact is we didn't join the list of CCC casualties that went out this week and that can only be a positive.
Exactly. This was a no lose game for Torquay, just the proverbial banana skin for us. Clean sheet too. On to Saturday.
Torquay looked solid and well-organised.
But we played to their strengths. What was disappointing was that there was nothing that looked like it could change the game - what pace we had up front was slightly naive, the midfield didn't really get on the ball. A lot of sloppy play meant we had the ball but did very little with it.
I know they're young but I did not think much of the youngsters - willing, fast but utterly clueless.
We didn't really play to Rasiak's strengths - give him things to attack in the 6 yard box and he'll tend to get a toe to them. In spite of his size, he's not a target man aiming to link up play.
