Carey with a goal that even the Torquay fans applauded. We've been poor so far though.

Since the goal Torquay have had 2 good chances. This is a very good testing work out for us.

Outside the box, drifted in from the right flank, took it from 25 yards, in off the goalkeeper's right-hand post and bounces across the face of goal and in.

Carey knows how to strike a ball. Against the run of play too.

Half time 1 up. Not our finest 30 minutes or so until the goal. Torquay were the better side and the movement of their two strikers caused problems.

Carey's goal was class and lifted the team, he and Lameiras saw more of the ball after the goal after previously both being anonymous.

Torquay's pace and through balls into the channels between centre backs and full backs on both sides easily caused problems which is a worry.

The Sawyer/Wylde partnership on the left is struggling.

We are winning 5-2 on balls kicked out of the stadium.

Their no 11 Gosling looks handy.

Great Carey goal.

Left footed curler from the right hand side of the box. Top corner, no
chance.

Edwards seems to have very good postional sense. Man mountain of a footballer.

However, the 10 yard basic passing to team mates has been woeful. Very careless at times. Also we have been caught very easy holding onto the ball for too long. Been hit down the channels fairly often.

Torquay look.lively. Are getting stuck in. A good test. We just need to move the ball quicker.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

No changes for second half.

I appreciate this being a step up to previous games but is it testament to how bad we are playing or how good Torquay are.

Sounds like we're playing a championship club!

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Playing a lot better. Fox has moved back 10 yards and is pulling the strings, Lameiras and Sarcevic both playing just behind Jervis.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Torquay hit post after a good move .

 

[PL2 3DQ]

Torquay hit crossbar. Number 10 for Torquay is feisty, a few late tackles.
