Past the disappointment of yesterday now I think PW got it wrong changing the team and formation, this meant Jay couldn't get into the game

2nd half with both OT and DH on yellows we lost the midfield battle and it all went to pot

Taking Zanzala off meant we had no one to hold the ball up further up the field

Young again frustrating with numerous poor set pieces

And portugull is bang on, the subs were dreadful in terms of impact

A game that could have been 2-0 with a better cross but a minute later it's 1-1

In the previous 5 games we had the best points return of anyone in the top 7…watching the game yesterday Chesham played with a game plan to frustrate and credit to Torquay players they didn’t rise to the bait..our discipline was good. Failing to break them down and being caught on the counter was tough to watch. We are far better against side who try to play to win. 500 mile round trip was a disappointment so the only obvious thing to do is…buy tickets for Hemel and clear the diary for the play off dates. It ain’t over…

Well done UnitedinDevon , takes me until about Wednesday
Yes, Jay is ineffective wide left, we need goals and he should be up front or just behind. Thought Zanzala was a handful and did pretty well, but he and Manny could make an impact from the bench. Think 10 points are needed now for 2nd or 3rd , win all 4 and the title is possible but can't see us doing that. Can't afford another giveaway like Saturday.

Well I think we should have been out of sight by half time.

Cody Cooke could have had a hat trick.

Sorry to say I think James Hamon was badly positioned for both goals but perhaps any former keepers on this site could express a more informed opinion.

He was unsighted until late for the first but pretty poor reaction to their second. More concerning was how slow his reaction was to the disallowed goal, lucky to get away with that. It's the business end of the season and also with the experience of the new signing perhaps he's feeling the pressure
