0-2 caught on the break....

FT 0-2
Disappointing after the Woking game.
On to D&R then....

Two penalty shouts. Great save by the keeper and we lose 2-0.

Sounds like they only had two attacks in the game. **** typical that we managed to get a player sent off to even things up. Sometimes I think we havn't got a clue.

Unfortunately I’ve had enough of Niate’s mistakes. Time for him to go in January, has not stepped up at this level. Bring back Dickson at left back please. Get Lewis alongside Cameron in the middle to firm things up

Major rebuilding needed urgently and a defensive coach

Only Torquay could somehow contrive to get a player sent off when we were chasing the game. There was still about fifteen minutes left including injury time when Niate got sent off.

Plenty of time left to get an equalizer with the man advantage. Absolutely clueless game management, considering his first booking sounded innocuous and unnecessary.

Just seems that we gifted Yeovil the game which the appear to have won without having to do anything.

I know we have injuries but that's just piss poor. 80 minutes to go with a man advantage. Sounds like we started off well but as soon as they went down to 10 men we went on the defence and conceded a goal.

There was a golden opportunity to win that game and as usual we managed to cock it right up. Welcome to the losers club.

No Brucie, don't be fooled by any commentary as they were all over us all through the match and fully deserved it.

Their keeper was finally called into action right at the end and made an excellent save from just about our only reasonable chance. We were truly awful and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season.

You were there and I wasn't - but I guess if they had seven or eight injuries and two centre halves playing at full back the result could have been different.

Todays defeat is far more galling than the one on Boxing Day though.

Gary Johnson not coming out for the Radio Devon interview - Downes doing it. Don't know what to read into that.

I think our expectations were raised with our promising start to life in the national league.
We all kind of got swept away thinking we could maybe return to the league!
Its clear to everyone now we are nowhere near good enough! ( some consolation at least we on conceded two today)
Will we have a mass clear out in Jan! Not sure! Recruitment so far seems to have no impact! We were all told that we had the team ready to challenge at the beginning of the season! How wrong were we!
We have to do everything we can to stay in the league! Talk of promotion is just fantasy!
Next game a D&G is a must not lose game!

It might be fantasy but no team is going to get promotion with the injury list that we have had this season. You have to be realistic.

It was either a fluke that we got to two points from the top or you have to take into account our poor run coincided with the ever increasing injury list.
