Welling drew earlier, Woking are losing now, and we’re winning! That gap is getting smaller and smaller!!...

Disappointing result really considering 2 up at half time. Also a lot more to be learnt!!

Don't blame the ref for a woeful second half performance. We were rampant in the first half and headless chickens in the second.

Time for Johnson to sort them out otherwise we are going nowhere in this league.

Johnson is sorting them out.

He certainly is, undefeated, money from the FA Cup, certainly a very different picture from a few weeks ago under Owers.

Three home games in a week now with the FA Cup,providing a welcome break IMO.

To reflect on the positives, first half we were good with the ball and opened them up with some nice passages of play and more importantly we did not lose. The ability to grind out the result in the latter stages alluded us. Like everyone I would have loved to seen the game put to bed when Keating missed a golden chance from 2 yard out with us already 2-0 up. But football doesn't work like that. Fair play to Billericay for their comeback. No complaints from me about their time-wasting when down to 10 men - what did anyone expect them to do - play expansive football and lose 4-2. They showed their experience in the second half killing the game after a man down, maybe something we would do well to learn - pretty it might not be, but points win the league.

We are still very much in the contenders league for promotion, the team is gelling well under GJ guidance and all will be much clearer the other side of Christmas.

When are we going to play 2 halves of decent football instead of 1? Our defence had a mare again.

I’d have took a point before this game though

Fair comment, but the time wasting was rather excessive, whilst to be expected. Torquay have much to learn from this league, but will only improve.
