The difference between a pro side and semi pro side. They’d have spent all of Monday preparing to play us, whilst we wouldn’t have had a single session to focus on them after going all the way vs Enfield on Saturday.
I don’t see why we’d be upset or surprised at that kind of result last night. 3000 fans in and they will be right up there come seasons end, I’m just glad we’ve got our trip there out of the way early.
I don’t think anyone is upset, more about how others see us play and that we can’t adapt or be willing to change playing style. We’ve done well there before and they were full time then.

Our good results there have corresponded to times when they were a basket case.
I believe we have seen signs of trying to adapt, Enfield potentially the most recent example. You don’t put AAH up top to play it to his feet.

Re: Torquay
Probably an age/generational difference between us, BB. Considering we sit alongside each other at games, you'll know that this old correspondent's ticker goes into overdrive every time we play cross-penalty-area pinball at the back. Your youthful heart is clearly "entertained" by this; mine is racing at 180 bpm and close to requiring medical intervention!

We had conceded 2 goals when trying to play out from the back against Enfield and were lucky not to be 4-0 down, I think we are all talking about adapting our playing style/tatics from the start of games not when we are already behind.
We’ll be mid table as usual so nothing to worry about there but this style is hardly entertaining and won’t bring the casual support back which is what the Chairman is asking for.
Just saying
