Just wonder if Mel is seeing if the Gibson-Hammond with Fadahunsi works, it might give the other players a rest for the next couple of games.

It's not been a great first half. Playing with the wind we haven’t really looked after the ball.
Gibson-Hammond had our best chance of the half. Ref is definitely entering in to the helping Torquay cause they are broke spirit. Hasn't given us anything really.

Watching the livestream I thought the first half was poor. No real threat up front without either Seymour or the injury.prone Bloomfield.

Well apart from a couple of half chances in the second half that was very poor against a pretty ordinary side.

In some ways things were stacked against us. Torquay were desperate to get a win in front of a large crowd and this emotion could have spurred the home team on. Obviously our team selection may not have helped, but Mel might have been looking at a bigger picture, he has said previously he would not risk players if they had a slight injury. Bringing on Inman for a forward suggest the lack of striker cover. I noted Donaldson got booked again, he must be getting near a ban as these yellow cards mount up.
Let’s hope for some points in the next Easter games.

Second half was better and Ru had a great chance to equalise. However we still allowed Torquay in to the game as we would be on top then make a poor pass or decision and give them the advantage.

Several contributors have mentioned the midfield and it weakness and this might be where some of these problems you hightailed stem from.BeaverWatcher wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 5:16 pm Second half was better and Ru had a great chance to equalise.

I noted that Mel took off both strikers around 75 minutes, replacing them with a Inman and Hall, to my way of thinking getting an equaliser was made that much harder. Obviously there was a reason which may became apparent later.
